Upstairs Dojo

The Mettle System

The upstairs fighting mat uses The Mettle System originally created by Nenshalaar Khatayin for the Nomad's Mettle venue and used with permission.While using this system we ask that you use the code of conduct as described further below for all matches.We currently do not allow betting. Bouts are for personal sparring only at this time.

Basement Eatery

The Shambles Cafe

The menu is still a work in progress (pardon our dust) and changes often, check the event info for seasonal items!All food and transactions are "theater of the mind" only. No actual currency or items are exchanged during active roleplay scenes.You are free to give the proprietors and any player staff tips for their work, but it is not required.

General house rulings

The Sidhe's Shambles is open on the 4th Friday of every month, from 7pm to 10pm PST (UTC-8/UTC-7 during DST). You can stay up to date on last-minute changes to the schedule, as well as other events under the Midnight Rose Trading Company banner, by joining our Discord.Players are also free to use the space outside of official event nights for RP, gpose shots, OoC hangouts, etc. If you would like to reserve a time slot for a specific RP scene, to make sure you are not interrupted, you can always contact the owner on discord, either in the server above or in DMs (username: tickyhead)

Roleplay with partial NPC staff

This venue uses NPCs for notable staff characters but will always have at least one PC staff member when "open." You are free to dictate basic NPC interactions without PC staff input and are encouraged to use the descriptions given on this website to help you write for them as needed.We request that this be the only time you dictate another character's actions, and that you keep the NPC interactions at least somewhat accurate to the descriptions given.If PC staff find that you are abusing this house rule or letting it bleed into PC interactions you may be reprimanded, advised to leave the premises, or banned from future events.

Venue Code of Conduct

  • Keep RP to a PG-13 rating - We do not allow public ERP under any circumstances and ask that you respect the limits of other patrons should they request that you tone down graphic descriptions of violence, vulgarity, et cetera. When in doubt we will err on the side of the one offended, not the one offending.

  • Weapons for non-combatants are assumed to be checked with the Maitre D' upon entry - This rule is enforced unilaterally and you will not be allowed to draw or use a weapon in character at any time outside of the ring. Forgetting to toggle weapon view or accidentally pressing "Z" is an understandable error; one you are expected to fix when noted. Should you draw steel in a scene you will be disarmed and, depending on severity, removed from the venue. This is not up for debate and does not follow the Mettle system rules for conflict.

  • Respect Your Fellow Players - The world of Eorzea is not perfect, nor are its people. IC racism and bigotry is a norm. We do not tolerate OOC bigotry or harassment of any kind, however, including but not limited to: homophobia, transphobia, racism, misogyny, stalking, threatening of OOC harm. Incidents will be dealt with swiftly and harshly. If you feel a patron has violated this rule please notify staff immediately.

Fighting Ring Additional Rules

  • Familiarize yourself with the venue's rolling system - As stated above, the Sidhe's Shambles' fighting ring uses The Mettle System as a tribute to Nenshalaar Khatayin and the original venue that became a staple for the owners' PvP RP. Make sure you understand the system and how to use it.

  • Match fighters must join the party with the host/referee(s) and use the proper channels for IC/OOC - All OOC comments, questions, as well as match rolls take place within party chat. remember to only use /dice 12 within party chat during battles, not /random. Fight emotes take place in /yell to not be drowned out by /say and /em from other venue patrons.

  • Respect the rolls and the rules system - the rolling system was designed to keep things fair and respectful. Sometimes people have bad nights and roll poorly, it happens. Take the loss with dignity. Failure to respect the rolls and their outcomes may result in negation of points or disqualification.

  • Keep your battles within the bounds of the Final Fantasy XIV setting and good RP etiquette - Godmoding is never allowed under any circumstance. You control your character, and only your character. You can describe your attacks and intent, but the defending player gets to describe how it affects them; similarly, allow your character to be hurt if/when an attack hits. We (usually) have healers present that can assist if someone is wounded or injured. Ultimately the other patrons are here for a spectacle, so don't be afraid to keep the fight interesting!

  • Forfeiture, no-shows, and early exits are acceptable...to a point. - We understand that real life always comes first, and circumstances can easily change. Needing to end a fight early or miss the match due to conflicting issues will (normally) not result in any OOC repercussions, however if it becomes an excessive pattern then staff may deny future participation in fights. You are still free to attend as a spectator regardless.

  • Fights are allowed at all staffed events, not just fight nights! - So long as at least one staff member is there to enforce the rules, the ring is open for anyone who wants to settle a score or just have a good spar! Make sure it is clear both IC and OoC that you want to use the ring—fighting anywhere else in the venue is strictly prohibited.
