About The Sect
Welcome to Lamia's least suspicious free company!The Seventh Sect is an active rank 30 FC with a focus on community. We're catered to players of any level who want to get lured into a cult find an active, drama-free group of friends to explore Eorzea with! With a designer estate in a prime Shirogane location and members at every level from end-game raiders to returning players making their way through the story, to those brand new to the fold learning the ropes, we'd love to meet you.While The Sect no longer focuses on active recruitment, we sometimes reel in a lucky new sacrifice or two to join the fray.The Sect offers:
a 24/7 buff schedule
a cozy and unsuspicious estate
map runs and mount farms
casual hangouts & events
goofy banter always
. . . and much more!
The rumors about bodies in the basement are unsubstantiated. We swear.Drink the kool-aid. Join us!
Group Events
We're an active group with weekly events for map runs and mount farms. We have lowkey Discord hangouts, weekly jumbo cactpot consolation parties with live barding, and some wacky, initiate-sacrificing good times!We're all about community and building bonds together.
A Unique Estate
By joining the cult, you get to live in one of the most unique and unsuspicious communes in Eorzea! You can make use of our vendors and free snacks, or create your own room within our hallowed halls. Watch The Commune change with the seasons and join in on random room tours to get to know us!There are certainly no dark secrets hidden in the basement.
Our Community
Too often, free companies are so big that their members feel like a number, or so small that they fizzle out and go dormant. Worse still are the cliques. In The Sect, we dodge these pitfalls by curating a uniquely inclusive group of welcoming goofballs that feel like family. Join us and see for yourself.We ask only for the sacrifice of your soul in return.
The Seventh Sect
So it is written, so it shall be
Our Tenets
The Seventh Sect has only a few expectations aside from the generous sacrifice of your mortal soul.
18+
We require members to be 18+ for the safety and comfort of all. Many of us are simply too old to want to hang around teenagers, and we prefer to curate a space for those players past the age of adulthood.
Maturity
We expect our members to self-regulate, maintain social awareness, and remain inclusive and kind. Toxic behaviour such as forming cliques, perpetuating drama, elitism,discrimination, or constant negativity will be strictly moderated. We don't care if you're an initiate or a leader here - please be chill and kind.
Activity
Members of The Sect are encouraged to get involved and be welcoming and helpful toward other members, but inactivity removal is rare. Usually around 365 days for those who have been with us awhile. We understand that life happens, so members removed for inactivity are welcome back at any time.
Vibes
We're an inclusive group with members from around the world, from all different walks of life, and with differing points of view. We avoid talk of politics, religion, identity politics, elitism, and negativity in our spaces. Please keep the vibes light and the tone chill. We're just here to play a game together.
Discord
Joining the Discord is optional, but strongly encouraged. It's the only way to participate in FC events, join in on our giveaways and contests, and connect with the community in a deeper way.
Dismissal
We give everyone a fair shake, but sometimes it's not a good personality fit, and The Sect takes the enjoyment and comfort of our members seriously. If you part ways with The Sect for any reason other than inactivity, whether you leave or are dismissed, we will not reach out to bother you.

Hierarchy Within the Sect
Our Ranks
Prophet
Prophet is an exclusive role reserved for the guy who started the whole thing. The Prophet is The Sect's evil fiend trusted leader, and you will have to kill him to earn this role. Good luck in your endeavor.
The Counsel
The Counsel is our leadership circle of leaders who can help with your cult needs. See them here.
Bloodscribe
A Bloodscribe has been with the Sect for long enough to be considered one of us. They drank the kool-aid and survived. Bloodscribe have full access to the company chest, training at our chocobo stables, and they are considered full-fledged members of The Sect. They can ask to run their own events, be involved in shaping The Sect's lore and community, and can build a room in The Commune.
Sacrifice
A Sacrifice is a new member of The Sect. They can take part in FC events and feel us out while they decide if The Sect is the right fit for them. During this time, Sacrifices should be involved with the community to show that they're an active contributor and that their vibe passes the check.
Vessel
Vessel is a flexible role used to grant temporary permissions for someone to manage cult business.

Our Lore
Our lore is vast because our leader is a nerd, but participating with the lore is entirely optional. While some of our members do roleplay, The Sect is not a RP FC, so please ask our members if they RP or engage with this backstory before assuming so!Our lore is constantly evolving. Members both past and present have shaped this story, and continue to contribute as it shifts and changes. Much like the FC itself, it could not exist today if it were not for them. If you would like, please see how to contribute below!

The Story So Far . . .

PRESENT DAY
Presently, The Sect exists in limbo: driven forward toward a goal known to those who pursue it, dissented and judged by outsiders.If you ask most if its members, they'll tell you they're not really a cult - that the namesake was simply passed down to them. Those who disavow the group would have that the use of one's soul, even for benevolent research purposes, is inherent to the stigma. While it's true that souls - defined as the flows of aether into ones body from any external source - must be sacrificed to power the massive stores of aether used in The Sect's research, the sacrifice is only willingly given, never taken by force from its members.It's this which sets The Sect apart from the namesake 'cult'. Its leaders are transparent with members that the sacrifice of souls lead their research, and that giving up ones soul - ones very aether - is optional, a shared burden. There are other ways to contribute, after all, as The Sect is ever in need of protection, research, brave adventurers, and recruiters. Soul sacrifice is only one way of many.What is it that The Sect researches, exactly? What is that elusive goal? To explain that requires a little history.

THE RESEARCHERS
Coming soon...
In the beginning, there were three.Early in the Sixth Astral Era, near the end of the recovery from the Great Flood by the Elementals, three researchers were brought together by the leaders of their prospective - what would one day be known as - city states. These three were considered the sharpest and most prolific from their regions. Their goal was simple at the time: to further research aetheryte technology and aetheric flow to best serve Eorzea, should another Umbral Era befall it.From The Shroud, an Elezen woman with gray hair and kind eyes whose name is lost to time.From Thanalan, a talented Thaumaturge Miqo'te man named Q'mhan Konyo with dark eyes and hair as black as night.And finally, from La Noscea, and the settlement that would one day be known as Limsa Lominsa, an elderly Hyur with frazzled gray hair, unkempt facial hair, and a tight-knit brow. He is known today in the way he signed his research documents: Bacchus.

THE END
How does my character fit into the lore?
Recruits
Most members incorporate into the Sect by recruitment. They have been scouted due to their sharp minds, knowledge of aether, prowess in research, ability with the blade or magicks for protection against dissenters, or their quickness of wit and sharpness of tongue to expand recruitment power. The Sect holds many rare writings on the power of aether for teleportation and time-travel, and many join and stay in hopes of helping uncover its secrets.
Original Members
In addition to our leader, there were six members there when The Sixth became The Seventh (read more), who have chosen to stay out of loyalty, fear of the Voidsent, or because they have nowhere else to go. Further, some members of The Darklights returned in due time.
Rogue Agents
Some members are rogue to The Sect, pretending to be loyal members in the interest of stealing The Sect's valuable research. Others still are simply using the Sect for free room and board, or to line their pockets as a means to their next journey. We welcome these, too.
Choose Your Own
Several characters have landed ties with the Sect through other means. For example, a mysterious Miqo'te who sold The Sect illicit substances for experimentation in the back streets of Ul'dah. A quiet Au'ra who simply showed up at The Commune one day - no one quite knows where she came from or why. A bubbly Hrothgar who herself traveled far to spend time in one of Eorzea's most prolific cults for her own research on group-think. There are no limits to how you can end up in the Sect, and no two stories are the same.
How can I contribute to the lore?
Do you want your character's backstory to be added to our lore? Perhaps they're making scientific breakthroughs on our aetheric studies, holding dissenters hostage in the interest of The Sect, or trying to take The Sect down from the bottom up. Could it be that they have knowledge, skills, or information that could change the course of history? Mention this to the Prophet if you're so inclined.Our story is your story, and yours is ours.

We encourage you to stop by and see for yourself!As of August, 2025, these pictures are outdated - come see the new design for yourself!
