{Hello!}
My name is Stormageddon Oath, founder and co-leader of Final Dawn alongside Bresha Ruincaster (aka the Brynhildr FATE lady) and Hellina Handbasket. I’d just like to outline for you why Final Dawn is a good choice for your FC consideration (and also why it may not be, depending on what you’re looking for).
First off, we're a solid 5 year FC—meaning we've consistently stood for that long fulfilling a consistent set of goals. We have built processes in place to maintain a certain atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable and welcome. That being said; a lot of people suspect we’re a large FC and that a newcomer can’t contribute, but that’s not the case, and several have joined with that thought only to be happily proven wrong.
At FD we don’t give rank to people specifically for their loyalty or because they’re close friends. Privileges and ranks in FD exist for people who will use them to the benefit the FC, they are not a cool kids club. Also, we work to maintain a level of activity where we’re not so busy that people are easily overlooked, but one where we’re busy enough that you’ll have someone around to talk to, so if we get too busy then we’ll close recruitment if necessary. We consider ourselves a newbie-oriented FC and our decisions and processes are made with that in mind.
Never hesitate to ask a “dumb” question if you’re genuinely curious about something. Our one big rule is that everyone should feel welcome to participate.
We have all the big stuff; A large house in Mist, all crafting tables, 2 FC buffs active at all times (heat of battle II, and the other is member’s choice), regular FATE parties organized by Bresha, Treasure hunts organized by her husband, an optional Discord channel, and we recently moved to Guilded due to its great mobile app and discord compatibility.
I encourage anyone curious about us to ask questions here, through private messages, or in game, we’re an open book and don’t want to take people who we can’t cater to, so don’t hesitate. Otherwise, if you’re interested then join up on our Guilded: https://www.guilded.gg/Final-Dawn
