Drachenhome

A center for the Veterans of the Dragonsong (and other) Wars

About Us

Founded by a pair of Ishgard's Knights Dragoon and named for the famous trials required to achieve the accolade of that order, Drachenhome is intended as a refuge for veterans of all Eorzean wars. We began as a small, informal social group, but quickly realized the need to fill a niche in the wake of the war's end.As units in the field found needed camaraderie among their brothers and sisters during the war, we aim to help our fellows find the support and succor needed to meet the trials of the Republic of Ishgard's new and bright future in the Eorzean Alliance.Thanks to a special fundraiser by a member of Ishgard's High Houses, we are able to operate in perpetuity and independently, which gives us the needed autonomy to assist where we are needed.We welcome all active and retired members of the Temple Knights, citizen's militias and affiliated support personell, as well as veterans of Eorzea's Grand Companies from all Eorzean conflicts.We also aim to provide support for the families of servicepersons both living and among the glorious fallen.OOC: Please feel free to use this open RP space. The only thing we ask is that you remain respectful of other players (in character and out) as well as the space itself.Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
