Celestia Free Company Charter

The Seven Heavens of Absolute Lawful Good

We are a casual Free Company on the Hyperion server that caters to all player types.

Celestia has been around since the dawn of FFXI. It was a high end raid linkshell then and has always catered to all players in the game. Be it hardcore or social players. We keep that notion alive today with Celestia, breathing new life into the soul of the Free Company in FFXIV.

If you wish to delve into discussions regarding Mods, share links, or explore this subject further, we encourage you to do so through private direct messages or by opening a dedicated voice channel for these conversations. It is essential, however, that these discussions do not take place openly in the Discord or in-game chats.

Anyone suspected of using a Bot application will be investigated and if the investigation results in a confirmation of the original assessment, they will be removed from the FC without further warning.
