Rules

Rule #1 - WE ARE AN IC ESTABLISHMENT.

Please do not speak OOCly outside of (brackets) and if possible, keep OOC chatter to a minimum in /say. We also ask that people limit their standard emotes or avoid using them so as to help with the already fast chat scroll. We also ask that minions get put away unless they are ICly with you.

Rule #2 - WE SUBSCRIBE TO THE IDEA THAT AN IC VENUE DOESN'T NEED OOC PROTECTION FROM IC CHAOS (WITHIN REASON).

We are a hub for criminals and their ilk. That means we OOCly expect some level of trouble and chaos. We won't OOCly kick you for being ICly being rude, or ICly starting a fight, etc. But please note that these things still have IC consequences. You might get thrown out of the venue ICly for the night, but you're welcome back next week or to try and barter with our security to even let you back in tonight! IC chaos gets IC reactions. We expect the same of our patrons.

Rule #3 - THERE IS A COLOR-CODED WARNING SYSTEM IN PLACE FOR EXPECTATIONS/TRIGGER TOPICS. PLEASE READ BELOW.
THIS IS IMPORTANT.

Green - We're a crime-themed venue. That means you should understand some topics/situations may arise within our walls that don't require any sort of warning or permission. Things that we consider GREEN are allowed anytime. This includes things like offering narcotics, IC threats/fights, pickpocketing, breaking/throwing things, drawing a weapon, shooting a weapon of magical spell, etc. (You might get ICly thrown out if you disrupt the venue too much, but OOCly you're in zero trouble!)

Yellow - There are some things that should inherently require asking OOC consent from the roleplayer before doing. We consider these to be YELLOW topics, and ask that you request permission from the other involved parties OOCly first. Things like poisoning someone's drink, or doing something that might cause someone more than basic harm. YELLOW topics also include things that may disrupt the whole venue, like blowing something up or a pre-planned murder. Please reach out to venue management first to get approval for major venue-wide events.

Red - These are not allowed at our venue, period. We don't pay your sub-- but we do have a responsibility to our patrons to make them feel comfortable and welcome. These are liable to get you OOCly banned from our venue. Please use your common sense: Underage characters, noncon, not respecting OOC requests to please leave someone alone, overly racist/hate language (Hate Au Ra? Hate Duskies? Go for it. Don't make it too real-world please. You're intelligent-- you know the line.), Etc.

Rule #4 - WE ARE NOT-FOR-PROFIT, AND WE DON'T REQUIRE REAL GIL.

We do not deal with real gil at the Reliquary. All gil transactions are IC, and we do not offer any private services. Our staff love tips though, so feel free!

Rule #5 - WE ARE AN 18+, NO OOC HATE/HARASSMENT VENUE.

You MUST be 18+ both IC and OOC to enter the venue and be on the discord. Do not harass other members for any reason. Hate speech will not be accepted and is a one way ticket to the blacklist.

Rule #6 - DO NOT SPAM EMOTES / LIMIT EMOTES.

Please do not spam the /say chat in game. /yell and /shout are for staff ONLY with the exception of any major situation occurring in which your character would have reason to ICly /yell for security or staff. We ask that you try to limit your standard emotes and not spam them. Please also remember you can turn off standard emotes in your chat settings if you want to minimize chat scroll.

The Obsidian Index

Welcome to the Occult section of the Obsidian Reliquary. Here you will find occult or enchanted items for sale or rent, and a list of what we keep in the Vault. The Vault's items are neither for sale nor rent - they are merely items that are too dangerous to allow out into the general public. It has been said however that those who are active in the Reliquary's missions, may, indeed have the right to get their hands on the items in the Vault...

Contained within the following menus for the Occult is the Index: which contains items for sale, rent, and unobtainable items in the Vault.All active patrons and staff of the Reliquary are welcome to borrow from the Vault's lower tiers, but beware! If you don't return them within a few weeks, we will put out a bounty on your head ICly!OOCly, you acknowledge that your character will be hunted, if they do not return rented items to the Index within 1 month of borrowing them.Please note that you must have been on at least one mission to rent from the Index, or an active, consistent patron of the Reliquary. Exceptions may be made for those who are vouched for by a staff member or VIP on a case by case basis.

The Index Rating system is as follows:

For Sale

--Enchanted Flask--

This flask is created using enchantments. This flask requires only a single drop of the desired alcohol, and then close the cap and swish. It will fill up to full from the single drop of alcohol. To empty it out, turn it upside down fully, and let all the alcohol/potion/water/tea, etc. drain from it. As long as the flask is fully upside down, it will not produce anymore of the item within it.Emptying it completely, you may turn it right side up once more, and place a drop of something different in it. It can recreate potions, concoctions, etc.All flasks were created by Silucia Luncionno. To find her for future enchantments, etc. please speak to Hale Vhalyn.

--Boozer's Tankard--

This tankard will remove the alcoholic contents of any liquid poured into it. While this is unappealing for most, this tankard could be particularly useful for recovering alcoholics, pranking your friends, or feigning drunk.

--Soap Stone--

This small stone will clean clothes and surfaces as if it were watery soap, though it produces no moisture or suds. It requires a charge of aether to work.

Items For Rent

These items have been deemed to be suitable for rent. To rent an item, you MUST speak to the person manning the Occult Counter at the Reliquary during open hours. No other time will suffice.

The Fang of the Wyrm (A)

This item turns everything it touches into ice.... as long as you're standing in shadow. The moment you move out into the sun - or someone moves you there - you'll defrost. Don't worry about it!

The Mirror From Within (A)

This handheld mirror has the words, "Mirror, mirror...." Inscribed on the back of it. When one looks into it, everything that is ugly inside of that person, is displayed outwardly on the surface.

Theodore Ignis (A)

Within this children's stuffed bear sleeps a second-rung voidsent. Rumors say it was a gift from a once-famous Mhachi mage to his young daughter.Feeding the bear one's aether will awaken the voidsent within, causing the bear to grow into a 7-fulm, 300 ponz bear monstrosity for about 30 seconds, during which it will go on an indiscriminate rampage, hostile to all but they who's aether it feasted on. It will then go back into a slumber, and cannot be awakened again for at least 3 hours.

Nebilim (A)

There is a third-rung voidsent trapped within this dagger, so continued use could cause possession to the untrained wielder.This dagger boasts the ability to seal wounds after they've been created (though the internal damage is not reversed). The mouth of the blade also licks up the blood after a wound is inflicted.

Discriminatory Compass (A)

A compass blessed by an Ishgardian Inquisitor before being given to a foreign adventurer as a gift. To Elezen, it will always point back to Ishgard. To all other races, it will point in the direction of the nearest and greatest danger.

Ring of Mimicry (A)

Saps a large amount of the wearer’s aether to trigger the essence of the mimic trapped within, causing the wearer to take on the appearance of an inanimate object which will allow them to blend into their surroundings.

All-Or-Nothing (A)

** Useable during all Obsidian Reliquary Missions**A decorative coin which on one side depicts an angelic scene, while the other depicts one gruesome and hellish. These etched images change to suit the wishes of the holder. When flipped, if heads (1), the user will secure a critical success (nat d20), if tails (2), the user will succumb to critical failure (nat d1)(( OOC Instructions: You may use this item during all OR jobs, events, and during OR open nights. To use this coin, emote BEFORE your roll that you are flipping it (incite the name of the item so we know what you're doing), then do a '/dice 2'. If you roll a 1, it will give you the highest number for your roll (20 or 1000) and if you roll a 2, it will give you a roll of 0. ))(( As these are critical successes and critical failures, emotes should reflect just how epic or pathetic the turnout is. ))

The Corpse Mask (B)

This mask lets you take on the appearance of someone you have seen die, while wearing the mask. The glamour lasts for one hour, with a twenty-four hour recharge. Can store up to 3 faces.

Chains of Asmodeus (B)

A pair of metal manacles with a three-foot chain between them. Only a key (borrowable with the manacles) can open them so they can be put on/taken off. When one person wears them, they have no effect. When two people each wear one manacle, they feel one another's emotions completely. There is no method in which to block your emotions from transmitting. Each person will also be able to hear the thoughts at the forefront of each other's minds. Call it a 'get-along-shirt' that's not as easy to take off.

The Golden Needle of Whim (B)

A delicate golden needle, in the hands of a master weaver, this item can be a boon.... or quite deadly. Used to weave blessings into cloth - or curses - it can only be used by a master weaver. Otherwise, it functions like a normal needle.

The Golden Shoes of Loloto (B)

Bounce, bounce, jump! Everything the bottom of these shoes touch, it turns to gold. REAL SOLID GOLD! .....just don't kick anyone with them.

The Mask of a Thousand Faces (B)

Wish to become someone else? Need to hide your aether? With this mask you can transform into something else for that heist you may be going on. The properties of this mask also help conceal aether. It will, however, show the aether signature of the last person wearing it.

Pot of the Parallel (B)

A beautifully elegant pot sits before you. On its surface depicted is an odd picture of a peacock amidst bamboo. As one turns the pot the scene changes: The bird changing and growing, splitting, and on the final panel - two peacocks with their necks intertwined. Golden lettering is written beneath it. Where once there was one, now there are two. The lettering seems to just barely shimmer and shine.Anything placed into this pot will be replicated to perfection. If a broken neckless is place within, it's replica can be retrieved whole. Living things cannot be placed within, and if an item made whole is bigger than the pot, you will have to break the pot to remove it. Items that are plants are fine to duplicate, as long as it's not attached to the vine. I.E. - Herbs, tomatoes, popotoes, etc.Breaking the pot will earn you a bounty on your head. No matter the reason.

Sapphire Crystal Ball (B)

This ancient looking sapphire orb has a variety of runes carved into it. Seated in an elaborate silver stand it allows one to scry a creature by gazing into the orb with the target in mind.

Twin Bifrosts (B)

A pair of staves which glow like rainbows, made up of indestructible diamond and decorated with an ornamental medium shaped like a star. Where one is, the other shall go. Those who wield one staff may teleport to the location of the other, though in doing so, leave behind a potent aetheric footprint. The staves take one full week to recharge.

The Depthless Steps (B)

A pair of soft sole shoes that when worn allow the wearer to step into a two dimensional surface and become two dimensional themselves. They will appear as a life-like painting of themselves, fit to size, upon whichever surface the traverse.The wearer is able to move freely about the two dimensional plane, though doing so rapidly drains their aether. If there is no aether left, or if the wearer ceases feeding their aether to the shoes, the wearer will burst out of the second dimension and back into the third.

Air Striders (B)

Leather boots of an uninspired fashion. On their sole and bottom heel, ancient amdapori runes which allow the wearer to jump ONCE while mid-air.

Coil Staff (B)

Incite the staff with the spoken word "Soil" while wielding it, and the tip will turn into a snake and lunge at the target in an attempt to coil around them.

The Everchanging Atlas (C)

A large, detailed, geographically accurate map that shows a glowing dot where the reader is currently located. The glowing point changes as the reader moves.It covers the realms of Eorzea, Othard, Illsabard, and the South Seas.

The Hagstone of Revealing (C)

Created by the use of blood magics, this stone allows one to see things in the world for what they really are. So if someone or something is hiding... yes... we see you. (This includes spirits, demons, voidsent, etc.)

Boots of C'kadi (C)

Boots once worn by the infamous thief, C’kadi Tia. Those who wear them will find that their footsteps are completely silent.

Peace Pipe (C)

A brass pipe, which generates a small amount of water vapor within it’s chamber. When inhaled, the vapor releases a spell to weaken tensions within the user.

The Mask of Memories (C)

While wearing the mask, the mask will record all that it sees and hears at the expense of the wearers aether for up to four hours, at which point it will begin to rewrite the recording from the beginning unless removed.If worn in a dark room, devoid of all light, the mask will instead play back the memories stored within it.

Chests of the Star-Crossed Lovers(C)

A beautiful small set of what looks to be drawers meant for jewelry, each small chest is a beautiful shade of lacquered onyx.On the faces are painted a scene of two people overlooking a moonlit ocean. The woman is in elegant robes almost entirely pristine. Her Kimono utterly immaculate.Whereas the man on the other chest is in rags. Both wistfully seem to be staring at the glow of a village in the distance over the water. Both with longing on their face.A line of almost twinkling stars leading the way across almost in the shape of a path. On the inside of the boxes there are matching inscriptions.Inside the first box: 'Though we are oceans apart....'Inside the second chest: '....It's almost like you're right here beside me.'This box is 1 foot deep, and 12x12 (w x L). Only non-living items, and non-food items can be used. What is put in one box and closed, will appear in the second box when opened.

The Vault

The following items are hidden in a secret vault in an undisclosed location. They exist for potential plot points for events run by the Reliquary, and although there may be a rare exception made for S rank items to be borrowed, it will never be as easy as just asking or coming up to the counter.

The Eyes of the Maiden (SS)

This item is now whole, wrapped between two entwining statues, however, it is only the statue of Nhaama that the eyes rest in. Enthralling those that touch it into the service of Nhaama, its real abilities are even more sinister. Two glowing pearl eyes that shed tears when someone steps near - the description card reads: *The first tear for truth, the second a wish, the third - best be ready, for it's death's last kiss. *

Peekaboo (SS)

This mirror is absolutely deadly. Touch its surface and you'll be replaced - by a doppleganger that's wearing your face! The inscription reads, "Peekaboo, I see you! Now you are me.... and I am you."

The Amulet of Hexus (SS)

The Amulet of Hexus contains the soul of Hexus Darnaxii. The Darnaxii Family is said to have been cursed by a powerful mage. All of the family disappeared. Hexus is said to have been the brother of the family patriarch. This Amulet exudes umbral aether.

Regalia of the Undying Lord (SS)

An antique crown that contains the soul of an ancient lord. Though the crown offers no innate power, the whispers of the lord offer advice on guidance to those who wear it as they endeavor to achieve their goals and fulfill their ambitions. Unbeknownst to the user, however, the soul within the crown is incredibly parasitic and will rather quickly become attached to the host, and sometime after, begin to take over the host entirely.

Aetherical Peacock Robes (S)

These robes are embroidered with specialized thread capable of storing aether for prolonged periods of time. The amount of aether stored is thrice that of what an average magic user's personal aether stores, which means at full charge, this garment is unstable. If damaged, it can explode, releasing all the ambient stored aether. It takes a week to fully charge. When used, the threads unravel and it must be re-embroidered with more magical thread before it may be used again.(This is a combat-use item, or a casting boost. When used, roll a /random. If you roll below 50, the garment becomes unstable and explodes, and you are knocked unconscious. )

The Contract of Veiled Ink (S)

This parchment has two portions to it. The top portion is a normal piece of parchment-- one may write any sort of contract or agreement upon it. In the center-- two lines for a signature from both parties. But beneath the signatures is what looks to the unknowing like just an extra bit of parchment-- nothing suspicious, it's cut long all the time. But anything written beneath the signature lines in ink will become invisible. Anyone who signs the contract will be magically beholden to the invisible terms. To break them is to suffer pain unimaginable until the terms are met.(Note, get OOC permission before using this on anyone! The invisible inked part of the parchment has enough space for up to 2 sentences, and the wording matter. Loopholes are welcome to be found with poor writing.)

Bracelet of the Bold Brawler (S)

A cursed bracelet, that, when worn, compels the wearer to near-immediately assault the person or thing they perceive to be the strongest in an attempt to conquer them/it. Should they succeed, the curse will lift, but should they fail, the curse will remain and tear them apart with overwhelming feelings of inadequacy and failure.

Tome of Deadly Sins (S)

This tome was brought out of the Void by a voidsent who's since returned to the darkness behind the veil. The words within the book look like swirling ink until one focuses their aether into it, at which point they form words-- a spell. The spell is different for every person and is created based on the individual's aether signature. A low-rung voidsent will be summoned by the book. This voidsent will be one focused around the sin (Out of the seven deadly sins) that the summoner is most guilty of. The outside of the book seems to be made of nightkin flesh, and anyone with aethersense can tell that the tome is starving.(Note: When you use this book to summon, roll a /random. If you roll under 100, you fail your summon and instead the book drains almost all of your aether. If you roll above 900, you summon a higher tiered voidsent-- and should probably run or pray.)

Reliquary Missions (DM'd)

--What is the Mission Board and where do I find it?--

The Reliquary runs missions on off-hours when the venue is not open. These missions are run both by management, staff, and patrons interested in DMing. We also allow patrons to request a mission be put out, and will provide DMs as needed if said patron doesn't want to DM their own mission. The Mission Board is available at the Mission Counter inside the Obsidian Reliquary as well as a Discord channel where missions are posted and patrons/staff can sign up to attend. Please join our discord to check out the currently available missions, and please note that there may be times no missions are available, but we will come out with new ones as often as DM interest allows.

--What do I have to do to sign up for a mission?--

You can approach the Mission Counter during open venue nights to see what missions are available or to request a new mission be created if you want to DM one or want us to DM one for a topic/plot you have. However, you'll need to join our discord regardless in order to sign up for the mission itself. React to the mission to be counted as interested. Missions have a max # of participants. Some will take people on a first-come, first-serve basis and some will choose through a lottery system of all that mark interest. See the description of the mission for details. We always try to take new people when we can, but can not guarantee a mission slot.

--What if I want to DM my own mission and add it to the Mission Board?--

We would love to have you DM! Please, by all means, chat to Stefan OOCly or visit the Mission Counter during venue nights for details if you want to submit a mission you're looking to DM. We always have need of more missions, and a plethora of people are interested in participating. We are working on a benefit system for DMs where they can earn points toward prizes and unique RP experiences. Stay tuned, but join us as a DM now! You can DM your own created missions or offer to DM missions others come up with or request. See the links at the bottom of this page to sign up as a DM.

--What if I have a mission I need done, but I don't want to DM it myself?--

We got you covered! We have a list of DMs willing to take on the task of seeing your mission completed. Need a particular item recovered? Want a bounty taken care of? Or maybe you have a personal plot that requires you hiring a team of adventurers to help out? Stop by the Mission Counter during open venue nights or submit the form below! Keep in mind that this is NOT us offering to NPC for you to go on your own mission. This is you putting in an IC request to put a mission up on the board for others to join in on. You are welcome to help NPC your own mission, but you may not participate in it as a PC. The idea is you're literally hiring a crew. Feel free to ask on discord if you have any questions!

--Important Mission/DM links!--

- In order to see currently available missions, check out the missions channel by joining our discord.- To be a DM for the Obsidian Reliquary (Willing to DM missions others request a DM for), fill out this sheet.- To submit a mission of your own that you want to DM yourself that's open to our patrons/staff, fill out this sheet.- If you have a mission for the board but do NOT want to DM yourself, fill out this sheet.
