Tempest - Hyperion

Greetings everyone! We here at Tempest would like to extend the olive branch to fellow Hyperions and Newcomers, who would like to seek out a new home amongst the new and old frontiers of Eorzea, and stalwart ourselves in order to subdue the oncoming threat of the Garlean Empire. I won't lie the life of the adventurer is rife with danger, but rewards and risks come hand-in-hand and in order for us to defeat our oppressors, we must stand united under a single banner just like the Grand Companies of old, in order to stand a chance.

"While a droplet of water can turn into a mighty wave, many can be an unrelenting Tempest the likes of which the Hydaelyn has never seen!"

About Us

Tempest is an Endgame based Free Company that prides itself on it's skillful players and loyal friends. Though we focus on having fun participating in endgame content, we hold ourselves at our best when it comes to completing content to enable us to both maximize and reap the spoils of our victories.

History
Tempest is an Endgame Linkshell that was established on September 22, 2010 on Trabia, then relocated when Trabia and Kashun were merged together into Hyperion, where we still remain there till this day. As one of the founding Linkshells for our server, we've built a strong community that extends well beyond that of normal Linkshells. As such, Tempest is going to continue to grow by evolving into an organized Free Company and continue our progress towards conquering the challenges that await us in A Realm Reborn.

Does that mean were always focused on the endgame grind? Quite frankly, no! We have plenty of opportunities to goof around and enjoy ourselves by either seeing the sights, hitting a random dungeon for fun, busting each others chops, or randomly running around Coerthas or Limsa areas engaging in naked exploration.

What if I'm new or an early 1.0 player returning? While we would like to hit the ground running within the first week or two of the launch, we realize a lot has changed and will still be subject to change, so in a sense we're all starting out fresh to a degree. In light of that we're not against returning or new players who are willing to commit themselves to Tempest's cause and in turn we will return the favor by helping out where we can. Our shell has a vast wealth of skilled and knowledgeable players, crafters, and gatherers willing to help each other accomplish individual and community goals.

What do we expect from you in return?
In short we expect only a handful of things in return from our members.
1. Loyalty- We're not against members hanging out or participating in content with other Free Companies, but during event times we would have you prioritize and join us during events that you can participate in. However, we do allow members to have time to themselves.
2. Come Prepared- If at all possible please come with your A game forward; in skill, gear, and necessary items in all content. Please take time to research content before events and feel free to ask any experienced members about content for information or if you have questions.
3. Avoid Unnecessary Conflict- We try to promote a fun and enjoyable environment for our members, and we realize that times may arise when members don't see eye to eye with either members of our own flock or members of other groups. In the event problems arise, by all means bring your concerns to a member of our council, and explicitly do not instigate drama within our group or with other Free Companies or Linkshells.
4. Teamspeak- We utilize Teamspeak as a means to communicate with one another and to offer quick instructions to other members without the need to type. While having a mic is optional (although preferred) utilizing Teamspeak during event times is mandatory, so we can minimize downtime and let everyone know what's going on at a moments notice.

With that in mind, we're always happy to have new friends and members in our ranks and look forward to conquering the Garleans with you soon!
