Wayfarers' Ger in 2024
I'm going to make an effort to actually make use of this Tumblr. \o/
Tumblr media
What Is Wayfarers' Ger?
It started out as a weekly storytelling RP event with a steppe theme ICly set in a ger/yurt on the Azim steppe, then we started adding bigger events every so often, like our summer event "Steppes on the Beach", but as altaholics, we've also tied in some of our other projects like The Approving Seal and The Ankhai Tribe.
I am an enthusiast of steppe culture & really want to bring some appreciation for the real-world steppe cultures and base a lot of my RP around its culture. I am far from an expert & I take some artistic license like the devs did because it's Mongolia-influenced, not a re-creation.
What's The Plan?
More events in 2024, starting with Tsagaan Sar, the new year. More use of the Approving Seal and the Ankhai Tribe.
I also want to make better use of social media (like Tumblr here), the wider community and our website.
Tumblr media
Plans for the Approving Seal
The Approving Seal is a Terncliff-themed cafe & charity and we just did our Starlight event with it. With the Approving Seal, we like to try and offer a more wholesome kind of RP and this year we want to use it for actual charity fundraisers for real-world charities.
We have a charity page set up for it for people to give their own donations to our selected charity (we'll have separate pages if we do a fundraiser for a different charity): https://www.justgiving.com/page/approving-seal
Plans for Wayfarers' Ger
On the Wayfarers' Ger side, I want to lean more & more heavily into the culture stuff, this seems to be the stuff people respond best to, which I am happy for because it's the part I care most about & want to dive deeper with.
As much as I would like to keep a fortnightly RP, we do find they get a variable turn out and I have mused on it & I know we've tried getting them working again, like in the early days, but my energy may be better placed in themed events with more attention to quality.
And I have a few ideas I am toying with for things we could do, including opening the floor for more people to get involved with contributing, because I realise I can sometimes do things on a bit of a whim.
Tumblr media
Plans for General Steppe Stuff
I also found some of my "The Real Steppe" blog posts get some popularity and even got a mention in Mirkes Menagerie for my comments about magic on the steppe. So I want to put out more things like it & share them with the Wayfarers' Ger & general Steppe RP community. And I want to go back & spot-check my old blog posts to make sure they're to a standard I am happy with & that I triple-check any facts.
The motivation for triple-checking is that I have learned that not all sources on Mongolian culture are reliable. For example: UNSECO has information about tuulis and the practice but the information confuses different types of Mongolian storytelling & other sources seem to give similar info & frame it in totally the wrong way. And I have better sources who don't mind me asking questions.
Plans for the Ankhai Tribe
The Ankhai tribe is a custom tribe inspired by Tuvans, Mongolians and Siberians, who come from north of the tail mountains and the Dalvalan Grath. Like with how FFXIV approaches cultures, there is still artistic license, so not all ideas/customs are grounded in the real world, but include FFXIV-appropriate flair, to keep it within the realms of fantasy.
We spent some time introducing some of the characters into the general community & ran individual RP's & events to establish IC connections and working through the story arc that allows us to open up the tribe to more people to create their own characters. For 2024, I want to do smaller RP's & events where the tribe is a focus, with room to recruit people into the concept.
Tumblr media
Closing Note
I realise I made it a long post. But the new year brings new opportunities and I am still passionate about the RP's we run and want to not neglect things I've started and instead not only keep doing what we do, but aim for something cooler. Plus, with my focus on visiting Mongolian in 2025, learning the language and spending time in groups relating to Mongolia, it's traditions & culture, I hope to work with you all to create greater RP experiences this year and clear out the crickets & cobwebs from both our Tumblr & Discord.
If I don't keep up my promise, hunt me down and slap me.
Peace and love,
Yesunova Hotgo and many, many alts

DecembHyur 2023 Day III: Home
On a windswept isle in the southwestern corner of the realm, amidst the roiling waves of the Rhotano Sea, lies the maritime city-state of Limsa Lominsa. To this haven for bandits and brigands, cutthroats and curs, seekers of both freedom and fortune, comes a lone adventurer.
*deep breath* aaaaaahh... this ought to cover a few entries from the prompt, I hope. If any of these gifs got a laugh out of you then please tell me!

Once a humble coffee shop nestled in the heart of a great free company, The Fireside was the go-to place for members of Firelight Trading Company looking for a bite to eat after a long mission. Realizing its potential as both a meeting place and a means of capital, its proprietor expanded the business throughout the various city-states of Eorzea until The Fireside became synonymous with coffee, company and great food; sourly needed after the anguish of The Final Days. Now, patrons old and new can gather to enjoy the hospitality and cozy atmosphere these avenues provide.

Reason resigned Dark seasons' design
Spring's promise of sun is honored When winter's weighed down on us
Visions in white Raw fury in flight
Clear as diamond, yet fragile as ice My heart is racing
- Return to Oblivion (Shiva Eden's Refulgence Theme) Shadowbringer goes Rock
An edit of a clip I made a while back of an Au Ra I've wanted to make for a while, now. Details below the cut!
So, I realized that the first version of this I shared had the mouse cursor pop in for a few frames, and I got annoyed, so I went back to edit that out...and ended up having a hard time fixing it since there's audio, and I can't just remove those frames at the point at which the mouse came on screen! That said, I ended up making a better version of what I was trying to do the first time! (Microsoft Clip Champ is actually really good - especially considering how shit most Microsoft stuff is. I've found I don't even feel tempted by their premium plan, either, with how much good stuff is free.)

FFXIV LFRP
Full name: A'vaanoh Tia
Race: Miqo'te; Seeker of the Sun
Gender: M
Sexuality: Heterosexual...maybe?
Marital Status: Single
Age: Early/mid thirties
Profession: Lawyer, retired gladiator
Hobbies: Bounty/monster hunter, romance novelist
Tumblr media
Profession(s) and Interests
A'vaanoh is a former gladiator of some renown. After winning big about a decade ago, he took all his winnings and savings... and got out, seeking an education in criminal law.
A'vaanoh couldn't exactly just set aside the fighting life, so he has a hobby of monster/bounty hunting. That hobby got him into a spot of trouble with a voidsent that he now shares his body and mind with, but... any more information on that will require roleplay!
He's also a romance novelist, and writes for any and all pairings the readers might care to see portrayed! It's another side-hobby that's earned him some small acclaim. The people need an escape - and who is he to deny them their cheesy, smutty romance-adventure-time?
He is likewise heavily involved with chocobo racing! Investing in the breeding and training of as much - like any rich guy with too much money on his hands, why not invest in thoroughbreds? He can be found at the Gold Saucer rather frequently! Pretty 'birds,' after all, aren't always found at the races.
Tumblr media
Hair: Pale blond
Eyes: Amber
Height: 5'9"
Build: Muscular
Distinguishing Marks: Lots of battle scars - notably, an x-shaped one over his nose/between his eyes
RP Hooks
Tumblr media
If you're looking for an RP hook, literally anything on this page suffices!
The voidsent he harbors, alone, could lead to a myriad of reasons to interact.
Maybe you're at the Gold Saucer frequently, like he is - or maybe not, and you just run into him there by chance! You could be a chocobo jockey he's sponsoring! Or a chocobo breeder he works with.
Maybe you read his romance novels and you're a fan! Maybe you want to pitch an idea for a romance pairing/setting/etc to an author you like.
Maybe you want to end up on a bounty together/have worked with him in the past! He's often on bounties out in the Coerthas area, as well - since bounties are all over the place, there's no end of ways one could run into him, or have a reason to. Maybe you're hiring, or picked up the same bounty, etc.
He's a criminal defense lawyer - there's another hook that could go several ways.
He lives in Ul'dah - another reason to run into him.
He effectively counts as a (an unorthodox) reaper, with the voidsent he's made a pact with, a scholar because of the magic he uses/it seemed to make sense with his law studies, and a gunbreaker since he likes guns AND magic, and that's more fun on a bounty than whipping out a tome and doing some math.
Maybe you fought him several years ago in the arena.
Maybe you need a wealthy investor. Or someone to sponsor you in the Arena.
He's an incorrigible flirt, heartbreaker, and consummate bachelor. There's plenty to work with there, too - I'm open to past connections of all kinds.
He's a pretty affable guy, at that! While he takes his work seriously... he believes in: work hard, play harder! He's a lush, and enjoys alcohol, sex, and luxury as much as most of the wealthy elite around the Jewel of the Desert.
The OOC
Writer is 30+, and I prefer RP partners to be 21+ - I do prefer darker, more mature RP, but that's not all I'm capable of! I just like morally grey explorations - and questions like 'what really drives a person?'
Late nights aren't really something I can do anymore, past 11-12pm my writing isn't any good, though my schedule is open enough to allow earlier starting times. Also I'm CST, and prefer in-game RP (Balmung). I simply can't stay in character when RP isn't moving in real time, and tend to just forget to respond to out of game stuff, or not feel well enough to write some days, and it ends up taking so long that I can't stay in character. Thus, scheduling in-game scenes ahead of time will always be what works best.
No canon characters please, it just really breaks my immersion/my character wouldn't have any reason to interact with canon characters really! Unfortunately, this means WoL OCs as well - their power level is just so intense that I can't really justify my OCs interacting with the WoL: time-traveling slayer of gods at the edges of the universe. (And no shade to canon RPers of any kind - it's just not my cup of tea, is all. Embrace your fun, my friends!)
I prefer plots, and RP with a purpose - contact solely focused on ERP is not welcome. ERP as part of an on-going story doesn't bother me, however.
Don't bring IC into OOC, or vice verse!
Communicate! If the RP isn't working for you, just tell me! I prefer 'organic RP,' but if you want to steer a story (RP) in a certain direction or don't want it steering in a direction, let me know! I much prefer having that conversation, rather than allowing an RP partner to be silently upset or uncomfortable!Follows come from @ooc-miqojak , and my other blogs are @miqojak and @vulpes-ferus !

Tonight! 1/31/2024 Story Hall will be open! 8-11 pm US EST, Balmung, Empyreum, Ward 2, Plot 39
Hello friends! Our announcement flyers got eaten by Thorne's phurbles this morning but we WILL be open tonight! Come join us for stories, friendship, cocoa, treats and more!
(Story telling - poetry - songs/bards - slice of life friendship/acquaintances chatting roleplay - necessary ooc below the cut - roleplayers of all kinds/skill levels are welcome here!)
Please be aware: The Afterlight is a light roleplay time vortex much like the Twilight Zone of Ishgard. As such we allow: Wild character concepts, NPC players (including multiples of the same NPC), NPC shippers, Beast Tribe members, Ascians/ancients, Dragons, or whatever other wild concept you want to play that makes you happy. We do not tolerate anyone RP policing or judging in our space, if you are not comfortable with us allowing these things please do not attend, this event is FOR those people who can't roleplay in 'normal' venues. In the case of there being multiples of an NPC we will treat it like they are from different AU/timelines (which can be hilarious). This is an event made for fun, laughter, relaxing, and learning to roleplay and write in a safe environment. Please attend with this in mind.
We allow you to tell stories from the MSQ quest line up to but NOT INCLUDING the current patch. Sprouts, please be aware this is not a spoiler free event.
Story Hall is meant to be a combination between a warm, friendly cafe, a hall where friends meet and catch up, and a venue to give writers a voice to tell their character's stories in a safe and welcoming environment. We strive to be a safe place for writers of all skill types, and roleplayers of all skill types. This is an event MEANT for learning and not being judged if you're not perfect or don't know what you're doing! Everyone starts somewhere!
While Thorne and Inxli will tell one story each if it's needed to fill the time this venue was created for YOU the writers and roleplayers of FFXIV to come practice writing, practice roleplaying, share your character stories, meet new people, and hang out with friends to catch up. We are trying to give you the feel of having a welcoming friendly FC whether you have one or not, and are geared toward those who don't want to join an FC but still want to have nice friends to chill with.
Stories do not have to be professional! They do not have to be in any sort of story format! Your character can just come in and ramble IN CHARACTER however they would share their story. THAT is the point.
Please keep stories free of excessive violence, gore, harm to young people/children/babies, and overly detailed sexual references. If you are telling a story written by someone else (or paraphrasing a fairytale/author/poem etc) please be sure to reference them out of character before or after your story!
Warning: We do not tolerate cruel, mean, rude, or otherwise obnoxious players or characters. If you can't be nice and civil in our space you will be asked to leave and reported. Thank you for respecting our venue.
(If you'd like to read more OOC thoughts on the purpose behind Story Hall please check out this post)

I finally made the decision to move Mercer’s safehouse to Empyreum. And with that move came a brand new build. The old one hadn’t been updated in two years. It was time.  So, today I introduce you to Mercer’s safehouse, a heavily warded attic overtop a rowdy dive in the Brume. 
Feel free to drop by and give it a look! Always happy to have visitors.  Balmung. Empyreum. Ward 24. Subdivision. Apartment 18.
