One evening, while Marian was out for a stroll in Ishgard, she happened upon a man of The Brume named Garrett Vinland. He had a great love for Ishgard and wished to see it protected. Sensing the truth in his words, Marian has now found a new comrade in arms.
Just drinks, no bullshit.
A dive bar located in the Brume of Ishgard. All are welcome and drinks are cheap.
The Rusty Mug has a neighborhood bar feel. While it is nothing fancy, it does have seats!
A sanctuary for those who feel more comfortable drinking from dented tin than from a wine glass. A place where the owner and staff will turn a blind eye or ear if they overhear shady business talk.
Open First & Third Thursdays 9PM-1AM EST
The venue is built and things are created, but I’ll need some staff!
Currently looking for:
1 bartender
This venue will not have any hosts!
Preferences for staff:
Ishgardian, Brume born (this isn’t absolutely necessary but it’s a huge plus to have some locals as staff!)
Rough and tumble sorts in general
Carrd: https://rusty-mug.carrd.co/

(This venue is slated to open up in September! But getting the word out now! If you'd like to be considered as staff, get your application in now!)
Started pondering on an AU where Ieeha is much older than his canon 20 something years... in his late 30s/early 40s or so to be specific. In such an AU he both inherited and dissolved House Verral in the span of only a couple years, as well as using the wealth he acquired to further his medical expertise.
His overwhelming emotional side is not gone by any means, but he's had more years to learn how to rein in his more volatile tendencies. Whereas in his youth he would explode with both joy and anger, his older self is sharp as coldest ice.
His fears around death has not diminished, if anything he's only gotten more anxious by it with age. He continues his work as both a doctor and healer like always... in fact, he tends to overwork himself, so as to compensate for the guilt he's been carrying since childhood.
(As Warrior of Light, he grows closer to the Scions much quicker in this AU. However, it takes a while for them to truly get to know him, as he is even more averse to letting people see beneath the surface. He scoffs at the title of 'Warrior of Light', and acts like it's someone else while he retreats to the background for the gruesome work he handles best.)
Having finished my move and fully returned from my hiatus, I now find myself in search of some RP. But I am looking for something fairly specific.
While I have had no problem finding regency-themed and upscale venues and RP communities for Mercer's brother, Sebastian, I am finding it difficult to locate the opposite for Mercer within Ishgard. While I am happy to hear about dive bars and gambling dens outside of Ishgard, I am really looking to find a few corners of the Ishgard RP community that are centered around the experiences of common folk and Brume rats. While I love the upper crust as much as the next guy, Mercer is my main man, and I really want to find him places to be where he isn't viewed as inherently less by the nature of the theming of the group.
With that said, here is a TLDR list of what I am looking for. This list is not all inclusive. If you know of a place that might interest me, please hit me up!

With some reassuring words followed by a few reluctant grumbles, Marian finally convinces Garrett to accompany her to the Jeweled Crozier for some shopping.
