Why we're here


Our mission is to enrich each other through collaboration, organization, support, empowerment, the games we play, and the lives we live apart.Moderators enlist to support you when called upon. They're tasked to help maintain a welcoming & unintrusive environment, to encourage positivity & non-toxic behavior.Together we all follow simple codes of conduct to guide each other.







Codes of Conduct

Respect is Granted, not Earned.
While there is no expectation for everyone to like each other, there is an expectation that we respect each other and find a way co-exist in peace.
Hate Speech, Slurs & Triggers
We recognize the nuance of intent and unintentional harm. Consider this before sharing any content or speech that could conceivably fall under these categories.
Political & Controversial Topics
In the preservation of free speech and peaceful cohabitation, please confine these topics to the opt-in channel on the discord server: #currentevents.
Honoring Requests to Change Topics
If you do not like a topic being discussed in any venue, respectfully ask your fellow to change the subject. All members are expected to honor this request at all times.
If a rule is broken, do not break it again!
Retaliation is weighed equally. Do not escalate a conflict. If you are unable to resolve an issue, contact a moderator for assistance.
Potential Actions Taken:
moderators will review transgressions on a case by case basis, issue warnings where appropriate, and (in extreme cases) may remove your content accompanied by a request to either repost with appropriate tags, or relocate to related opt-in channels.

there are no firm limits to warnings before an ejection from the community is considered by the admin team.

Ejections are indeed rare and done so following in-depth coaching and deliberation.

Sterne Evans
@roboSTERNE

A long time FFX|V veteran, hailing from version 1.0α. An end-game aficionado with experience co-running raid groups and free companies. He is an egalitarian who brings with him a passion for the game, a kind heart, open ears, a level head and a penchant for helping others feel welcome.

Melchar Asbrand
@zensandgarden

Is a veteran of the good ol’ bad ol’ days of FFXIV 1.0. He has played MMOs since he was a tender fifth grader starting with Ultima Online. A lover of lore and setting, Eorzea has kept him enchanted ever since the game’s first announcement. An affable fellow, he enjoys making new friends and connections whether in video games or in the industry where he works and plays on a daily basis.

Milo
@milo_v2b

He's been playing games as his main hobby since his parents got him Wipeout for the PS1 way back in 1996, and has been an addict ever since. He enjoys anime, superhero movies, and fantasy novels, and if he asks you to play Smite with him, back away slowly or you'll never hear the end of it.

Sadrith Mora
@bporter

Sadrith has been playing FFXIV since the 1.0 alpha/beta. She has been playing video games ever since PC point-and-click adventures of the early/mid 90's. She got sucked into MMO's starting with FFXI in 2003, and dragged her mom along with her in 2006. The two have been playing MMO's together ever since. Her gaming backlog is rivaled in size by the Eiffel Tower, but that won't stop her from trying that new thing that just came out

A Brief History of S|R


We started as a Linkshell in 2009 (i.e. Free Company or a Guild) in the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV known as "Sanctus Refero".That is still the game the connects the majority of us, but today that camaraderie extends beyond this MMO to a plethora of hobbies, passions, and games we play, together.We changed in 2013 to "The Salts of Rhotano", more aptly named for the many minerals that are we, floating together in a fantastical sea.In other words, a blending of folks who are carving out a space for themselves on the internet.Here you'll find Writers, Builders, Creators, Challengers and Champions with Controllers.



The Free Company

We cater to players of any style.
Membership ranges from Legacy to Sprout.
Company resources are made available to everyone.

We look for players who show some passion for what they do, who love this game and spread that joy to others simply by being themselves.
We get a thrill when finding new players who may need our help, or players who may just need a home.
