Watch The Commune change with the seasons and join in on random room tours!There are certainly no dark secrets or bodies 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, encouraging elitism or discrimination, or constant negativity will be strictly moderated. We don't care if you're an initiate or a leader here - if you're bringing drama to our doorstep or bringing down the vibe, you're out. Please behave like an adult.
Activity
Members of The Sect are encouraged to get involved, play an active role in our community, and be welcoming and helpful toward other members. Inactivity removal occurs 90 days after your last game login or 365 days for those with a decorated room in The Commune or the Fanatic rank on Discord. We understand that life happens, so members removed for inactivity are welcome back at any time.
Vibes
We're an inclusive group with both LGBTQ and POC members and leaders from around the world, from all different walks of life, and with differing points of view. Needless to say, an inability to play nice will not be tolerated. 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 all here to play a game and have a good time.
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. We also have cool role icons, a bot with the humour of a teenage boy, and a lot of fun ways to express yourself!
Dismissal
The Sect believes that when a group is a perfect fit for everyone, it's the perfect fit for no one. We give everyone a fair shake, but sometimes it's not a good personality fit, one way or another. 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. If you leave The Sect without notice, you will not be welcome back.
The Seventh Sect
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.
Zealot
A Zealot is a trusted member who has earned a higher rank in The Sect by showing that they are willing to hide a body trustworthy and capable. Zealots are community leaders and event hosts. See them here.
Fanatic
Fanatic is a special Discord-only role for those who server boost our Discord server. In addition to a shiny colour and role icon, Fanatics enjoy an increased 365 days before inactivity removal occurs.
Blessed
Blessed is a temporary role. This role's access changes based on circumstance and it's usually used to grant temporary permissions for someone to manage something or help with cult business.
Heretic
A Heretic has been with the Sect for long enough to be considered one of us. They drank the kool-aid and survived. Heretics have access to drawers 1-4 of the company chest, the 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.
Initiate
An Initiate has been with The Sect for fewer than 30 days and may take part in FC events and feel us out while they decide if The Sect is the right fit for them. During this time, Initiates should be involved with the community to show that they'll be an active contributor and that their vibe passes the check.

Our Leaders
The Seventh Sect's leadership team is committed to creating a fun, chill, and inclusive environment.We carefully vet our team and try to promote leaders who have excellent communication skills, a mind for equality and inclusion, and the skills to help, teach, and learn.

Name Redacted
Sup. I'm your resident evil cult leader prophet guy. Both charmed and charming. I'm a crafter main and achievement nerd who spends too much time in the diadem and never takes off his headphones.
Ark Teck
Hey there! I'm Ark. I make sure everyone looks their best for the weekly Fashion Report. I also like giving out food, so if you're ever hungry, come find and pet me. :3
Digressio Digorno
Heyo, call me Pizza. I lead the Blue Mage band and run a bit of everything from PvP to Savages and Extremes. Hit me up if you need anything or want to start collecting orchestrion rolls (just a few more, I swear).
Luxord Omega
Howdy, I'm Lux. I host the Treasure Treks events. I run most types of content in the game, and I'm always down to help anyone in need. Drag me to the depths of deep dungeons, please. (I like going deep.)
Orion Chaiya

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!

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.
The Seventh Sect
Welcome to The Commune
Our Estate
The Commune / Primal, Lamia · Shirogane · Ward 24 · Plot 38
The Commune is very much alive and lively, changing with the seasons and as we clear new duties together that drop cool, rare, or hard-to-obtain furnishings. Our mannequins change clothes from time to time, and our members have some incredibly creative, cozy, eerie, scary, fun, goofy, and downright designer-grade beautiful rooms. We encourage you to stop by and see for yourself!
The Commune was newly redesigned in January 2025, thanks to the following members who donated their items, gil, and time:
| Alice Moonlight | Ark Teck | Cerris Doves | Elisa Balfmire | Freyja H'vanfrost |
| Harpoon Hannah | Joyful Raccoon | Liana Faye | Luxord Omega | Maxxir Rayne |
| Reso Hyper | Rex Powerman | Sellador Beoulve | Yu Senpai | Zeus Imus |

We keep a stocked and organized Company Chest for all our members' needs, ensuring items are valuable and useful. Members are encouraged to contribute items worth over 1,000 gil on the MB or non-MB obtainable items to ensure the best use of our space.
Drawer 1 is accessible to Initiates and holds our customary cult robes and kool-aid, along with useful items such as cordials, ghysal greens, and glamour prisms. This is also where we dump our (worthwhile) minions and emotes for anyone to claim.Drawer 2 is used for orchestrion rolls and the free Fashion Report outfits we provide each week. Here, members can dump their faded orchestrion rolls and we'll craft them and return the crafted rolls. The Fashion Report is changed out as it becomes available weekly.Drawer 3 is all about glam. It holds rare dyes, glams, and random other things like mounts, weapons, or high-end materia.Drawer 4 is for furniture and is often used by members who have just purchased a new room with us. We also store fruits for dying your chocobo here, which can be used by anyone and are restocked randomly.Drawer 5 is used by Zealots only, and mostly stores things like the ink to craft orchestrion rolls, brooms to clean the stables, and items we plan to give away during events and giveaways! We also keep a fully stocked crystals drawer to help our crafters on their journey.
Did we mention free fashion reports? Every week, leadership of The Sect goes out and curates and dyes multiple fashion report fits and provides them to our members free of charge to earn you that sweet MGP with zero effort.
Our Discord has a curated wealth of resources and information, from Island Sanctuary recommendations to calculators, crafting macros, where to spend currencies, gear calculators, rotation checkers, how to dye your chocobo, where and how to gain mounts, minions, glams, pro tips, quick and dirty guides, and hundreds more.
Chocobos trained and treated right! We have several members who passively train the chocobos in our stables, and leadership is sure to keep them in tip-top shape so your chocobos always look their best. Drop your beloved bird off at The Commune and trust that it will be fed, trained, and cared for in your absence. While there's no guarantee your chocobo will be trained on any schedule, since this is a free volunteer service, we've never had a complaint! We also offer unlimited thavnarian onions to our members whose chocobos are at their threshold, so long as your chocobo is stabled - just send a request to one of our leaders and get onion'd!

Giving Back To The Sect
Giving back to The Sect in any way is entirely optional and never expected from any of our members for any reason. However, many have expressed a desire to do small (or large) favours to show their appreciation and keep things running. Leadership works hard to run things like Discord, this website, events, the FC chest, The Commune, giveaways, and more, and any help is incredibly appreciated.Here are a few optional ways you can give back, for those who have the resources and would like to do so:
Become a Leader
By far the most appreciated way to help The Sect is by becoming a leader yourself. The Sect currently is looking for two motivated and active leaders to help with things like keeping the FC chat active, doing small dailies like refreshing the buffs or sending our subs on ventures, and posting events in Discord. It's a small amount of work, but helps a lot! If this interests you, reach out to arisuxo on Discord or in a /tell! We'd love to have you.
Host an Event
Want to do something easy, fun, and social? Host an event! The Sect is in need of outgoing leaders to help host our existing events. Because these events are already planned, you're set up for success. If you choose to take over, we will change the date and time to one that works for you, within a reasonable range. Just reach out to arisuxo on Discord or in a /tell!
Contribute Gil
It may seem small, but it adds up! Dump some gil in the FC chest, a lot or a little. We'll use it for things like giveaways, event prizes, and getting gear and supplies for culties in need.
Contribute Items
The game is always throwing you minions, faded orchestrion rolls, dyes, emotes, and furniture - instead of selling them, consider sharing them! There are designated spots in the company chest for these. With regards to all but faded rolls, just be sure donated items are worth 1,000 gil or more and it's guaranteed someone else will need and claim it!
Rear Chocobos
Did you know that you can train members' chocobos? All you need is Krakka Root (free stack kept in Drawer 1 of the Company Chest). Check that the chocobo's rank is not orange (this means it cannot be trained), then click the chocobo's name and 'Reward'. It's that simple! This can be done every hour and other members really appreciate it!
Hunt Resources
There are some items that supply our members and keep things running by fueling our submarines for ventures or being turned into aetherial buffs. We've listed only items we can never have too many of, so if it's listed - we need it! And anything helps. If you'd like to contribute items, please send mail to a leader or place it in the Company Chest, Drawer 4!
