About Us

The Tempest Court is a Free Company that blends strategic brilliance with passionate camaraderie, where intellect and leadership converge. The Court represents a balance of individual strength and collective harmony—where each member’s voice matters, and every effort contributes to our greater success. Much like a tempest shaped by the sovereign will of its leaders, we rise together, always striving for excellence, creativity, and fun.
Our Free Company runs the Midnight Horizon, a luxurious venue designed to provide both an intellectual and energetic environment. With coastal elegance and an invigorating atmosphere, it’s a place where our members can come together to strategize for raids, engage in immersive roleplay, or simply unwind and bond over shared experiences. The venue reflects the core values of The Tempest Court—a union of strength, creativity, and ambition, where all members are welcome and valued.
Whether you're a strategist, a storyteller, or someone looking to form new friendships, The Tempest Court offers a dynamic environment where you can thrive and contribute to something greater than yourself.The FC is composed of adults and we understand that real life is a priority, so we focus on having a good time whenever we're all online, and we're also pretty active in our Discord gaming server.
We've got people from all over the world, from young adults to retro veterans, with different objectives in-game but having in common the desire to be a part of a friendly community, inside and outside of the game. There's usually someone always online, and we use VC often, if you're into that.
We try to hold events whenever possible and we're all very helpful and dedicated including everyone to have a good time.
Since we are adults sometimes it gets a little too busy irl and people take breaks. Sometimes members will play something else for a while. And that's perfectly fine by us. Most of us are on daily, and even though sometimes we are simple worded, we are here to help.

Our Lore

In the vibrant & ever-changing world of Eorzea, amidst the chaos of war and the whispers of ancient magics, there emerged a group of like-minded adventurers who would soon become known as The Tempest Court. Bound not only by their skills and ambitions, but by their shared desire to shape the world around them, these brave souls brought together intellect, creativity, and unwavering unity. Each member, skilled in their craft—whether strategist, storyteller, fighter, or mage—came from different walks of life, united by a singular purpose: to leave a lasting mark on the world.
The Court’s origins trace back to a handful of gifted individuals who first gathered at the borders of the Sea of Clouds, high in the peaks of the Dravanian Forelands, where storm clouds churned and thunder cracked the skies. Their first meeting took place amidst a ferocious storm, a symbol of the force they would one day become. It was in this moment that The Tempest Court was born—a gathering of minds and talents, each striving for greatness in their own way, but committed to the same goal: to break past the limits of what was thought possible.The Tempest Court became known for their unparalleled courage and strength, specializing in the impossible. Whether conquering the toughest raids or facing down the might of Primal Enemies, they were innovators and strategists, constantly pushing the boundaries of what could be done. Their motto, We Rise as One Spark, encapsulates their philosophy. The Court’s greatest power lies not only in the might of their warriors but in their collective bond, their shared will to rise above every challenge. It is this unity that allows them to perform feats that defy reality, their strength amplified when they stand together.Each member of The Tempest Court carries a Sea-fared crystal, a symbol of their commitment to the Free Company and to one another. When they assemble, their combined strength can shatter the barriers of reality, unleashing devastating power that becomes the stuff of legend. Their headquarters, a place of wonder and wisdom, is adorned with trophies and relics from their daring exploits. The walls are etched with stories of their greatest Limit Breaks—moments when they defied the very limits of their abilities to turn the tide of battle.At its core, The Tempest Court was built not on brute force, but on unity, knowledge, and the pursuit of understanding the great forces that shape the world. The storm cloud that serves as their symbol reflects both their power and their conviction—unpredictable yet under the command of those wise enough to harness it. With each passing day, they continue to rise, shaping their destiny and the world of Eorzea with every challenge they face.
