Foxglove Sanctum
Criminal | Dark | Mature
This story is about the hungry.
A story of a varied cast of criminals that have come together to carve their own foothold in a dark world most don't even know about, let alone experience first hand.Headed by Doctor Graves, it is an attempt to collect the displaced. The ones that don't quite fit in with the usual debauchery, focused on growing and expanding a fledgling organization.For those that join, some of the things that await them:
Serious criminal RP beneath a wrapper of light-hearted comedy
DMed events mixed with social downtime, both to grow and explore characters as well as the group as a whole
Organically growing an organization, one hard-fought step at a time
A streamlined combat system to help encounters go smoothly and efficiently
The hungrier the beast,
the more it will be willing to do to satisfy that hunger.
What are you willing to do?

Activities
Wondering what sorts of things we do?
The focus of Foxglove Sanctum is on organic growth. This is for both characters as well as the organization itself. Everything is earned- there is no hand waving.Here are just a few of the events that are offered:
Territory Expansion
What started as a small group in the Mist has grown into a rising force within La Noscea. Every new foothold we gain is backed by contracts, events, and missions that further our reach.Active Job Board
We maintain an internal job board with a variety of tasks, ranging from daily operations and restocking supplies to special contract work. These can include everything from crafting designer drugs to assassinations, with flexible timelines and scopes.Social Meetups
Whether it’s a fishing trip or a drink at our basement bar, we aim to create a balance of work and downtime, fostering camaraderie among our members.Turf Wars
Expansion isn’t without resistance. Other groups may try to take our turf, or enemies we’ve displaced might attempt to reclaim what’s theirs.Monthly IC Meetings
These meetings keep members informed about ongoing developments, plans, and plots, as well as introducing newcomers to the group.Office Appointments and One on One Sessions
Prefer smaller, more intimate RP? You can easily schedule a one-on-one with officers for quieter scenes, making connections and helping guide you in your character’s journey.
Hooks
If you're thinking about joining us, below are a few hooks to lead to the FC. If you don't feel like any quite fit your character or situation, let us know so we can discuss specialized ones.
The Lambs of Dalamud have taken a keen interest in the Sanctum. If you're familiar with the cult or have your own reasons for wanting to destroy them, you'll find like-minded individuals here.
There’s been rising interest in the new leadership controlling the Drydocks and Lower La Noscea. If you’re looking to work with them, get in touch with the Foxglove Sanctum.
Whispers of a voidsent pulling strings across La Noscea have spread through the shadows. Some scared Spoken have started to hunt down void-touched individuals, regardless of their alignment. If you’re looking for a safe haven, the Sanctum can provide refuge-but you’ll have to earn your keep.
Graves, the 'owner' of the flower shop, is a sawbones known for his low-cost work on those with criminal ties. Whether you’re a past patient, black market client, or simply in need of a “special” procedure, he’s always looking for more business.
With a few connections in the underworld, the Sanctum has put out word that they're looking for people who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. Warm bodies are preferred, though "warmth" is negotiable- they're not picky.
Current Story Arc
Following their work in Lower La Noscea, the Foxglove Sanctum took on a favor for Azurne, the enigmatic owner of a hidden casino near Costa del Sol. What began as a search for a missing shipment spiraled into a deeper web of void mysteries, strange gasses, and unsettling discoveries.Their journey led them to the Crystalline Haven, an exclusive hot springs resort now owned by a viera couple. Beneath its veneer of luxury, the Sanctum uncovered the signs of another threat hidden in the darkness- the Lambs of Dalamud.Though they’ve weathered treachery, kidnappings, and danger, the Sanctum is far from finished. As they recover and regroup, the shadows deepen, and the next move is theirs to make.

Recruitment Status as of
3/24/2025:
OPEN
Thank you for your interest in the Foxglove Sanctum!Currently, we run weekly events, along with pop-up social RP and jobs from our internal job board. Foxglove Sanctum is based on Mateus but we do not require members to be on Mateus or join the in-game FC. At this time, our group has around 10 active members, and we use both Discord and a crossworld linkshell.Before applying, please take a moment to read our rules. We conduct an in-character interview with all newcomers to ensure they understand what the Sanctum is about and are ready to jump into any upcoming events.
⚠ We cannot stress enough that this is not an ERP / hookup centric group!!! ⚠
While the occasional sex jokes, spiciness, or characters romancing each other is fine, this group exists to explore stories while having characters bond and grow. It isn't for hookups or quick ERP. We apologize if that is what you're looking for but you will not find that here.
Please be aware: We are not heroes, adventurers, or mercenaries—we’re a group of criminals. But that doesn’t mean your character has to be ruthless, immoral, or engage in every aspect of our illicit activities. The fun lies in exploring how far your character will go for money or power and what lines they’re willing—or unwilling—to cross.
The Sanctum works in trades and activities that are mentioned in the game itself, such as:
| Smuggling | Black market trading |
| Piracy | Assassination |
| Contract killing | Kidnapping for torture or ransom |
| Illegal gambling | Extortion and protection rackets |
| Drug creation and trade | Thievery and banditry |
| Espionage | Information brokering |
| Illegal poaching | Slave trade (strictly for test subjects, labor, and selling; NEVER FOR ERP) |
Players and characters that join are not required or forced to participate in anything they are uncomfortable with. Our primary goal is for everyone to have fun.
If you are interested in joining, please fill out the application below.Handles of players that will reach out about your application:

Foxglove Sanctum Rules
These rules are here to make sure everyone feels safe and has fun in our space.
If you have questions or concerns, leadership is always open to feedback.
General Rules
Age Requirement: All members must be 21+.
Inclusivity: This is an LGBTQ+ friendly space.
Discussion Boundaries: No political or religious discussions.
ERP Policy: Keep ERP private. Light spicy talk is fine, but this isn’t a hookup group.
NSFW Mods: Please disable NSFW mods or ensure characters are fully covered while RPing with the Sanctum. Accidental wardrobe malfunctions can make others uncomfortable or cause issues in public or shared spaces (e.g., at work or around others). While we’re a 21+ group, not everyone wants to see such things. Repeated incidents will result in being paused in the syncshell, and severe cases may lead to further consequences. Please note, this does not mean characters can't be nude for in-character reasons, such as performing rituals or stripping after a battle for treatment. As long as the character is visually covered and it’s contextually appropriate, that’s fine. Always check with fellow RPers in the scene for comfort levels.
Respect: Assume good intent in message tone, but report malicious behavior to leadership if there is an issue.
IC vs. OOC: In-character conflict is fine, but it must stay in-character. Communicate with your partners about limits.
Activity: RL comes first, but we aim for active RP. We may check in with inactive members or remove them as needed. Let us know if you need an extended break.
RP Rules
Character Age: All characters must be 18+.
Character Limit: One main and one alt per player. This may change later, but for now, we aim to develop active, frequent participants and that's hard with more than two characters per player.
No Canon NPCs: MSQ characters like Estinien don’t belong in our RP.
No Ascians/WoLs: High-power RP is fine within reason, but Ascians and WoLs complicate power levels and lore.
Void & Similar Themes: Void-tainted, cursed, reapers, and void-themed characters are okay, but no full voidsent or sin eaters due to power balance and lore complications.
Lore Guidelines: Lore-bending is welcome, but don’t outright break it. Use lore as a framework, and ask if you’re unsure.
No Metagaming: Don’t use OOC info ICly—it ruins immersion and plots.
Joining Scenes: Always ask before joining an active scene. Public spaces should always be open for people to join but it's still good to ask for permission.
Exiting Scenes: Try to give an IC reason when leaving a scene early, unless it’s an emergency.
Timeline: We follow the general rule that each expansion equals one year. To avoid spoilers, we keep ourselves one patch behind live servers to give people time to complete new content. (e.g., Current RP aligns with Dawntrail 7.0; no 7.1 events.)
