The Roleplay Community between all Realms!
Witchvalve is the Aetheric Association existing between all realms. Our familiars can be summoned for various purposes, to any location and datacenter inside FFXIV to roleplay. We are a community focused on roleplay where actions matter, developing lore through scenarios and our blackboard missions.
We roleplay on demand so keep the Square Enix ToS and our Roleplay Etiquette in mind! Do NOT engage in our community if you and/or your characters are not over 18+ years old! Any content provided or participated in is considered a work of fiction, which does not represent any real events nor intentions.
VENUE OPENINGS - The Witchvalve Manor is a shady potion factory shifting between realms. It mysteriously appears at certain locations, offering its services to anyone and anything stumbling upon it. Every monday evening the community comes together to connect, roleplay and scheme. Else we roleplay whenever we like to anyways.
BLACKBOARD MISSIONS - Do you know what a questboard is? Our blackboard lists many challenging missions meant for dedicated mercenaries to take on. Report the undertaking of a mission to our Envoys to gain coin, advance a client's story and of course change your reputation towards the better or worse.
OUR RP-FINDER - No need to wait for any openings, strange signs or announcements on our Discord. Simply go and roleplay when, about, where and with whoever you desire for as long as you wish. Our RP-Finder allows you to create and filter posts, find roleplayers, plan scenarios and meetings, as well as join already existing groups.
GAME WIDE COMMUNITY - We would like to make roleplaying in FFXIV an accessible and healthy practice, be it for roleplayers, event planners and community leads new and old. That's why we've made the decision to simply bring the content we have to you, instead of generally requiring you to appear at our location.
INFO & QUICKSTART
At Witchvalve, there's always something exciting to do. Summon familiars for immersive roleplay across datacenters and dive into evolving lore with our scenarios and blackboard missions. Join us every Monday at the Witchvalve Manor or use our RP-Finder to discover endless player-created adventures.
Getting started is easy!
Begin your roleplaying journey by joining the Witchvalve Discord to gain access to all available blackboard missions. Pick one and start roleplaying them at any time with whoever you desire to. Should you lack any people, engage in our community and make use of our RP-FInder. For roleplaying you will need roleplayers, obviously!
What can you expect?
We update and optimize our systems and content regularly, while exploring roleplaying in videogames with some experimental ideas. Constructive feedback is always welcomed and will be evaluated to hopefully converge into updates for the better of our community. Please also consider our Roleplay Etiquette.
For Potential Partners & Content Creators
If you're interested in featuring Witchvalve in your content or partnering with us, please open a ticket on our Discord. We'll get back to you as soon as possible. We're always eager for collaborations and partnerships, aiming for seamless connections between each other to maximize efficiency for everyone involved. Thank you!
NEWS & UPDATES
WHISPERWEAVE RELEASE 28/04/2024 ver3.0
With the release of the Whisperweave Expansion we are overhauling the Witchvalve once again, marking its 3.0 Update. It was long overdue to ensure longterm enjoyment of roleplaying, which has fallen short a long while ago. Roleplaying was simply not fun anymore and the constant necessity of having to keep track of events with all their details has made roleplaying more of a tedium than a creative journey. Organizing RP content for players has been fun in the past, so after investigation on why it has become mundane, finally we can focus on an accessible and flexible roleplaying environment without having to sacrifice our mental health. This is only the beginning of a new fundament named CO-RP, so it will be fascinating to see what we can build on top of it. More detailed explanations can be found in the Whisperweave Live Letter by Vilithos.

MANORGHAST Update 7 13/10/2023 ver2.7
This is an update to our rules and guidelines regarding a case where a player roleplayed a 17 year old character at the roleplaying venue, causing concerns in terms of if they are allowed at the venue or not and what they are allowed/prohibited to roleplay in-character there. Nothing explicit has happened otherwise, though from this point on the Witchvalve Team will be much more strict regarding moderating the Discord and Venue in-game.

MANORGHAST Update 5 8/5/2023 ver2.5
The 2.5 Update for the Witchvalve marks the end of the Manorghast Expansion. All changes are meant to finalize what Manorghast tried to achieve, fixing and improving many areas which were still not working as intended or did not give satisfying results, such as our items being engaging enough to be roleplayed with. With this update, not only our venue, but also our Discord have seen changes to set them up for a time where no new updates get released. Witchvalve is now directly connected to "Vilithos" who is the creator and owner of Witchvalve commonly known as "The Piratewitch Viliana" within the FFXIV roleplaying culture. Witchvalve and his own content were two seperate projects in the past, which are now merged to lessen the overall workload of both projects. Supporting Vilithos means supporting the Witchvalve, and supporting the Witchvalve now means supporting Vilithos. At the release of the 2.5 Update there are no new plans for a new Witchvalve Expansion. Thank you for sticking with us and have fun roleplaying at the Witchvalve Manor! - Vilithos

MANORGHAST Update 4 8/11/2022 ver2.4
In this update we are making a service more obvious which has fallen into the shadows for a while. You can now hire characters from the Witchvalve Manor for the services they provide by creating a ticket on our discord. This allows for some Rp scenario planning beforehand, making this whole service much easier to manage. For this update it meant that the current jobs we offered were not fit for this service, which is why the job-system has been overhauled once again. Hopefully our jobs are now a little more attractive to people and eventually brings in new staff which we desperately are in need of. The website has received a structural update to make navigation and reading easier, maintaining our core values. This also applies to the Discord which had sections that were never used. The guide to venues named "Witchvalve Framework" is being discontinued due to being outdated and simply not being very reader friendly. Manorghast ver2.4 is supposed to simplify and strengthens our foundation, giving us room to flexibly add or remove things as we go, as well as widen the entrance to new staff. Our partners also finally have a page where they are being properly presented the way it was intended back in Velvet Worlds. - Vilithos

MANORGHAST Update 3 29/10/2022 ver2.3
For Halloween 2022 I wanted to give the community an event to forge some long lasting memories and expand on the Manorghast lore further. While we didn't have much time for the preperations I was extremely happy to have the Witchvalve community help making the event possible. Without them the "Sootling Summoning" would not have happened! Halloween is an important time for the Witchvalve community given its overall theme, so I am thankful the lore I've written in such a short time was welcomed with open arms and created funny interactions. - Vilithos

MANORGHAST Update 2 11/10/2022 ver2.2
Quite a lot of small changes have been made since 2.1 over time, which are summed up in the 2.2 update to give an overview. With the 2.2 update I am making sure that the time the team and I spend on our content and management is not wasted on things we don't enjoy, putting RP first. After all the roleplay is what most people come for, not for optional side content that gets repetitive easily. As for me "The Witch", now called "Vilithos", my focus has shifted on some of my other interests. I will still be working on Witchvalve content, but in a smaller fashion with less time commitment, which will be quite the challenge to deliver the same quality. Considering the fact that I've spend around 20-30 hours a week for months making the Witchvalve Project what I truly intended it to be, I believe it is only fair to take my time and put it on my other interests as well. That's about it! - Vilithos (The Witch)

MANORGHAST Update 1 08/08/2022 ver2.1
After a break of roughly two months I came back for Witchvalve's 1 year anniversary, in order to celebrate what we have been through so far. The first update for Manorghast includes a few changes to our fundamental systems according to how Witchvalve staff has been running events while I was on my break. Additionally, as a little gift from me to our community, we released the first untested version of "Into the Cauldron"- a tabletop roleplaying system designed for entertainment. While it is still in its earliest stage, I am confident that through playtesting we can optimize it and have some fun roleplaying campaigns inside of FFXIV. Thank you for being part of Witchvalve! - The Witch

MANORGHAST RELEASE 29/06/2022 ver2.0
The 2.0 Update is an expansion to the Witchvalve content named "Manorghast", which stands for the revitalization of our house-related lore. We are updating outdated content according to our and the players needs- and are adding new content to expand on the Witchvalve roleplaying experience. Especially important to us was to refocus on what the Witchvalve was supposed to be in the first place, making changes to clearly communicate our theme without ruining the experience for our already existing crowd. Manorghast is also a step into an unexplored territory, which is about becoming a resource for FFXIV players regarding the creation of player-events, venues and roleplaying in general. We are adding the "Witchvalve Framework" and a "Beginner Roleplaying Guide" which are supposed to give insight on their related topics. Both are still early version so we highly appreciate your feedback regarding them. Due to the consistent growth of players we have added a keyword system inside the Witchvalve Framework to ensure all players an enjoyable experience without the need of complicated explanations. As we are expanding further, I want to thank you for being part of the Witchvalve community. See you in-game! - The Witch

VELVET WORLDS Update 3 05/03/2022 ver1.5
After our two week break we are rolling out with Update 1.5! The jobs we offered at the Witchvalve were much more tedious than fun to do, being either too passive or simply didn't offer much room for fulfilment. I can't stress enough how important it is to me that all staff is enjoying itself as well as our crowd. After all we are playing a game and don't attend to an actual part-time job! This also made it extremely hard to recruit new staff members which we desperately needed to run the Witchvalve. Naturally it took a lot of time to figure out what problems each job had and which are essential. Update 1.5 is the biggest fundamental change yet, aimed to give everyone an even better experience. These changes might seem irrelevant on the surface to especially our crowd, but the core is what is going to influence that surface later on. 1.5 allows to add and remove jobs if needed, without breaking the entire system or burning somebody out. There are already plans for 2.0, but for a while we wilI be testing the stability of 1.5. Thanks for sticking with us and I hope to see you some time in game!

It's been a while! These couple last weeks were full of internal situations we had to solve quickly with precision. Even though the changes seem small, they are just the beginning of several big foundational changes, which are going to happen soon. Honestly it's been tough, but hopefully we regain our energy to do more special events in the future. Hopefully you are looking forward to a little taste of those special events, such as the "Fairydream Festival", we have cooked up for you. Thank you for supporting us thus far. - The Witch

We have been able to test a big portion of our system the past few openings and decided, due to how players move and behave at the Witchvalve we had to do some adjustments. The job of the receptionist is currently in a very passive position with barely any natural interactions. Receptionist will be there for special events, but it will take a while for us to find a way to make this job engaging for everyone. The system required to run the escort service has been remade in order to give players their freedom to Rp anywhere, and still allow escorts to do their job fluently. Due to the introduction of said system a new rule had to be added. Lastly we have noticed that players freely roam around the house, which we cant control for obvious reasons. Thats why all pocket worlds are freely accessable from now on. In the future some rooms could be locked due to changes or special events. Thanks for coming to the Witchalve! - The Witch

After several months of delaying the opening of the House on Twintania, we finally have finished all preperations to show you what we worked on so hard. This venue has already come a long way, so I wanted to offer a unique and polished roleplaying experience that players could look forward to attending. With the "Grand Opening" or "Release" of "Witchvalve Velvet Worlds" or simply the House, we are setting up the foundation for future events and content updates such as new Pocket Worlds.

About Witchvalve
On the 8th of August 2021 the Witchvalve was founded by Vilithos, a creator and story teller who wanted to see what would happen if he would take one of his ideas and ran with it. While it started in an in-game appartment, over the course of several months people started to gather there regularly. After moving to a small plot, some regulars wanted to help Vilithos run the Witchvalve, marking the first wave of staff members. With "Velvet Worlds" a new structure was layed out, for roleplayers and members of the team. As time has gone by the Witchvalve was in a great spot, though its systems were outdated. Through the release of "Manorghast" a new step into telling a story through roleplay and a new internal system was introduced, later optimized over time. Eventually the Witchvalve has become so established on the Light Datacenter of FFXIV, that it was necessary for yet another expansion. With the update titled "Whisperweave" the Witchvalve shifted its focus to it's roots, changed its system to on-demand game-wide roleplay and moved onto creating an active roleplay community instead sticking with the same "tavern style" roleplay. From here on an ongoing, always developing narrative was possible, allowing to deepen its roots of underground themed roleplay, becoming the aetheric assoication between all realms.
OUR Rules
We roleplay on demand so keep the Square Enix ToS in mind, as our staff only moderates the Witchvalve Community Discord and our major RP Events, not the game itself. Do NOT engage in our community if you and/or your characters are not over 18+ years old! Any content provided or participated in is considered a work of fiction, which does not represent any real events nor intentions.Our discord server rules can be read on the discord server.
ETIQUETTE
1. Do not mix OOC and IC relationships!
2. Ask for consent before roleplaying anything containing nudity, violence, psychological or sexual themes.
3. OOC chat is always available to you, make use of it.
2. Clearly indicate text using markers, we commonly use:
Character speaks out loud: "I am a Witch!"
Speaking out of character: (My character is a Witch)
Third-Person Narration: ⋆The Witch said out loud.⋆
Situational text marker: <Do not drink this!>
4. Spamming sounds, visual effects, animations, macros, short-texts, incomprehensible text and especially emote-messages is generally considered obnoxious behavior in public and party chats.
5. The /shout chat is mainly used by staff for announcements. The Looking to Meld Materia icon indicates who is a Witchvalve Household member or staff providing a service and are currently offering it.Requests for in-game moderation belong inside the game, meaning we will only take action if we consider it necessary. Please consider using tools the game provides, such the GM ticket system.IC, acting in-character / OOC, acting out-of-character

Witchvalve History Museum
It all began on the 8th of August 2021...
was founded in an apartment by a mysterious red au'ra who named herself "The Piratewitch" in the Mist of Limsa Lominsa. Not many people dared to visit the place that players could find over the shady Partyfinder ad. Through the course of several months of consistently opening twice a week all by herself and using several new advertisment techniques, soon the Witchvalve has had it's first regulars, who would turn out to become valued members of its staff in the future.
The story "The Red Witch of Limsa" is directly tied to the Piratewitch Viliana due to her backstory leading to the creation of the Witchvalve, a Potion Factory which was in FFXIV terms hosted in an apartment. Many who met the Piratewtich thought her strange but goofy. Salty Oranges were always dear to her, but why, a high treasured secret. Read here
A new chapter was on the horizon, with
the Witchvalve had officially moved to a small plot in the Lavender Beds. However, flattening the velvet carpet unexpectedly heightened expectations of both the crowd and staff. Lots of issues arose which all had to be fixed quick so the Witchvalve could prevail. With Version 1.5 the future was set with stability, ending this chapter.
At the making of Velvet Worlds the biggest topic was that the Witchvalve was finally moving to a plot, a great step up. But due to all the costs and overall lore that had been established, the expectations for this house were enormous. "Rise of the Witchvalve" let us enter the big stage of FFXIV venues by rolling out the velvet carpet in this old mansion. Read here
A Manor's Manners are what many call
When Version 2.0 released, the Manor was still full of strange old relics, it had to be tidied up. When things became more clear, the Manor revealed it's secret: It had a soul, it was not merely a building, no! It was truly alive. Every Update the Witchvalve was optimized, reaching a point were it has gotten unclear for the fabled Piratewitch what could even be done to make it better. Though she realized, it was all fine. This silence was her own peace of mind.
By accident, the Witchvalve discovered that their very own Manor possesed pieces of a Soul. Through further research they were able to put together the Manor's origin story. In "The Great Wooden Serpent" a giant creature revealed itself, slayn by the Moonlit Dragoon, leaving the Serpent's wooden scales open for the Manor's architect's creativity. Read here

THE GREAT WOODEN SERPENT - 2.0 - Manorghast
/// Chapter I, Scales of Wood - In long forgotten times a giant serpent roamed the earth, causing dread wherever it went, draining its seas off their life while bathing its scaly body, only to turn sea into boiling cloud. Its only purpose seemed destruction, the allagans thought, desperately trying to take control of its power. With glorious spears they approached its crimson gaze to pierce its armor by force to reveal its secret. Succeeding at inducing their knowledge into the serpents blood, its dead wooden scales shined white, reviving its true beauty. Howling through its nest enraged, its thick bark exhaled a melting hot mist over those tainted spears. Sprinkling their mettle with a swipe, turning soldiers into mold, the allagans admitted defeat.
Wandering the lands in greed for seas, the serpent hid within the unknown woods searching for more. The rivers lead, flowing- only to be consumed by its shape, whispering of an even greater well. A tree reaching so far up the sky, even a volcano would shiver mad, shadows over our snake. This tree fed off the earth's blood, just as itself. Angered, the wooden serpent stood up tall, as tall as it could, to strangle the tallest of all into bowing for forgiveness. And so the tree and the serpent merged, feeding off of the well beneath, for eternity.
/// Chapter II, Tree of Stars - Once unknown, the woods protected by element alone, become home to a folk of curious. They wondered why mist surrounded their life, every once a while. Scouting what thought their land, the tallest of all poked their sight. A tree reaching so far ‘bove, it must touch the stars. So a new belief was born, the tree of stars, bridge between earth and cloud, they named. As they scraped the holy tree of its imperfection to hallow it, one finds the creature it merged with, thus the wooden serpent, breath of the holy tree, became a Deity. Over time many left their underground home, though who swayed themselves in the serpent's warmth remained still. The deity’s scales would crumble now and then, gifting its sacred wood to its folk to be shapened into symbols of might. One day, the village hidden under the tallest of all, drowned in the great flood of its well, right at its peak of glory. Only a few of this folk survived, spreading what's known around the world. Temples they’ve built with the holy wood they’ve kept, seeking a path to grasp their city once more. But none would follow their advice, their God marked them for death. To calm the angered, its folk shed their blood in hope to never ignite its fury again. Treasures of power you might find, hidden in the sea below the giant tree one said- many came to dive the depths to find not much but rotten wood. A challenge for most who believed in treasure of forgotten folk, who heard the legend of the tallest of all.
/// Chapter III, The Moonlit Dragoon - In a night of true beauty, where moonlight barely reached below, a spear in white wandered through the woods searching for its prey. As he met the tallest of all, crimson eyes gazed from above. Shaking its body off the ancient well, the wooden serpent revealed its form. Once more, hot mist filled the woods, stealing the spear of his sight. In a flash it was over, swallowed whole from behind by its bite, he thought himself dead. Just in time the spear revealed the serpents' hide, from scale to scale, he must break his way to victory. One by one the serpent's wooden scales scattered into the unknown, filling darkness with what thought to be moonlight. Blessed by the eye of the night the spear danced on its shine to behead the wooden serpent of its might with the crescent guillotine of starlight. A bloodshed heard all over the world - the spear who pierced true beauty, who bathed in forgotten blood - the legend of the Moonlit Dragoon emerged. As the forgotten folk heard this tale, they abandoned their temples and minds, leaving nothing but questions behind. But the soul of the great wooden serpent still remains within its scales, who haunt the Witchvalve as their Manorghast, feeding off its well.RISE OF THE WITCHVALVE - 1.0 to 1.5 - Velvet Worlds
Within the Lavender Beds an old house withered away on its own for ages. A green Au Ra woman named Aliandre was given the house as a farewell from a Gridanian Captain for her help on an oceanic journey around the globe. Due to her never having the time to take care of it, Aliandre decided on a peaceful reunion with her sister, Viliana. Aliandre then allowed Viliana to use the house for her business called “Witchvalve”, as long as Viliana didn’t do anything suspicious with it. The house was in a poor state with all kinds of problems, wind and weather made its walls whistle painfully, the garden's dry ground only grew the most monstrous plants and the old fountain seemed to be home to some menacing creature. After space was made and everything needed had been installed, the power plant deep down below made the Witchvalve’s machinery move. Steam pumps from the house's heart through its metal pipes, feeding the house with life. Officially, the Witchvalve is a Bar for all kinds of people to meet up, drink and game, while being a small potion factory on the side. On top of the usual Witchvalve business, their workers offer a wide variety of services many love to count on, attracting sometimes the strangest of customers.THE RED WITCH OF LIMSA - version 0.1+ - Apartment
Someday in Limsa Lominsa, when the winds were warm and the beaches cold, a red-skinned Au Ra appeared in the Mist, selling dubious wares to curious strangers from inside of a rusty factory. Hidden from the Maelstrom of Limsa, the Au Ra spread her word, day and night. Nobody seemed to care; the papers and ads about this “Witchvalve” were looked at… as a mere joke. A Witch as red as blood, selling strange wares who turns people into frogs? Who would believe such a fairy tale? Those who went to find this place, however, would hide their knowledge and even protect that so called “Witchvalve”. Many rumors began to spread about this place- both good and bad- but nobody was really sure what was the truth and what were lies. Eventually the folks of the city started investigating on their own, only to come back with unbelievable stories. When the winter was about to shadow over the Mist, the Maelstrom finally sent their troops. This one skypirate, which troubled the Grand Companies for over 20 years, was right in the palm of their hands… but all they found of her was an ancient golden coin; as if this was a mere joke. They knew she was back, but why? Where did she go? What is the Piratewitch trying to achieve this time?! All that was known is that "The Red Witch of Limsa" is somewhere out there. And Witchvalve was there. That’s the truth.
Bookking D'Booklin
The giant book at our entrance is called Bookking D'Booklin, a minion created by Viliana the Piratewitch to travel between the spaces depicted on its pages. To travel open a page containing the image of the space you would like to enter and tickle its page. Then step through the picture and you will be spit out on the other side, ending up at the right place. You can only travel to spaces that are connected to the so called Booklings, which are placed inside a house room or pocket world. Booklings are the Bookkings underlings, holding only a fraction of the Bookkings ability. Without the Bookking, they can't use their transportation ability. Bookking D'Booklin and its Booklings are silent voidbound creatures able to fly, walk and communicate via magic texts they conjure on an empty page. If they aren't working at the Witchvalve, they probably are relaxing in a library. Booklings come in different shapes and sizes, which make them hard to identify. The transportation theory of these strange minions is the following: The Bookking and its Bookling both open a gate at their current places, to then move both gates very close together. You then simply step through both gates without any harm.The Puppet Maidens
Created from Vilianas own DNA, The Puppet Maidens are organic vessels containing the soul of creatures. While each version looks exactly the same, their personality is that of the corresponding creature. They are named after their version number, which indicates when they were created and how intelligent a puppet maiden can potentially be based on their ingredients. The puppet maidens were created specifically for the Witchvalve to have workers around day and night.
"Onema" - Soul of a white baby coeurl, very playful and the least intelligent of all puppet maidens.
"Dosra" - Soul of a purple koala, very lazy and sleepy, chews on plants all the time.
"Tridetta" - Soul of a magic broom, obsessed with cleaning, can't seem to stand still for a minute.
"Tetrana" - Soul of a cherry bomb, easy to anger, loud and cheerful, obsessed with water and machines.
"Quint" - Soul of a mameshiba, very welcoming, loves to get pet and highly intelligent.
"V'Six" - Soul of a cave morbol, non-organic machine, self-aware, designed to gather data.
"Sight 87" - Fused Soul of a Lunatender and thunder aspected Wyvern, highly intelligent, but extremely schizophrenic.Mef the Gargoyle
For some unknown reason a shadow appeared one day in the upper corner of the abandoned factory home to the Witchvalve. This silent mythical creature would only move if the situation it was staring at was to its own interest. The people named it "Gargoyle" until it someday began to speak and say its name. "Mef the Gargoyle" would watch over everyone in silence so much, that Viliana labelled her as furniture due to Mef's irregular patterns of movement and speech. The gargoyle referring to itself as a "woman" was able to protect Vilianas cauldron multiple times with a little bit of help of The Janitor Nagito from an unknown strange wanderer. To this day Mef the Gargoyle randomly appears and disappears at the exact same spots around the Witchvalve House.
VILINOMICON
Faydream & Fairydream
A Charm Potion able to let people fall in love with the first person in sight. Faydream's effect will wear off after a short period of time. The Fairydream is much more potent, which effect stays for years and can only be dispelled.
