The Sacred Oak Foundation is a nonprofit organization that strives to improve quality of life in orphanages across Eorzea and beyond, providing funding for care and health, education, necessities, and activities. To plant the seeds for brighter futures, and helping to nurture growth with a steady foundation. Our branches extend across Eorzea, Kugane, and Tuliyollal, with the hope of further and future expansion. Sacred Oaks' fundraising efforts include, but are not limited to, hosting interactive community events.

For Trick-or-Treat, Sacred Oak will be accepting donations of clothing, learning tools, and toys, to be organized and distributed as needed based on the specific needs of each orphanage. We will also accept monetary donations, to which the East Aldenard Trading Company has agreed to match. Drop-offs can be made with Doku and Naja. See map.

A garlean with a knack for seeing. His partner may well be lurking in the background (canon character).OOC info: As a fun little bonus, I have a book specifically about using the canon cards for divination and reference that in my RP tarot. I haven't RPed him much outside of a 1-on-1 setting but I'm very interested in using him for tarot. It's happened organically in a venue once before!

The First ⋯ Word

Run by High Priest Osk A.
Attended by lambs of the Eighth Star Church
Arriving around 6:45pm PST

Osk Asterius, Leader of the Eighth Star, is said to walk with the whispers of the Seven at their side. Through dreams, visions, and sudden utterances, Osk has delivered oracles that strike with uncanny precision. Whether these revelations are divine gift or unsettling instinct, the accuracy of their words has left many in awe — and others uneasy.
