Open World RP Initiative

The Open World RP Initiative is a roleplayer's one-stop shop carrd for XIV roleplaying resources, open world discord servers & general XIV resources.

New resource documents will be added to this carrd as they are found. If you have a document -or- open world discord server that you would like added, and it's not here already, please contact Ry'lah Dinhe

Note: I am not responsible for the accuracy of these documents. Everything is fan-made, and dependent on available lore to the RP community. Some lore will contradict others - and that is fine. Do not contact me for the removal of a lore document that doesn't agree with your headcanon.

All guides are owned by their respective writers.
