In the spirit of the season, the brothers of The Order of Saint Gabineaux have dipped into their personal stores and collections in order to offer up unique items to any possessed of both gil and an invitation. Each item is offered as is and neither High Priest nor Brother will take responsibility (either social or financial) for any damages that may result from purchasing any of the following items.In order to bid, please speak to Rook (Cyrille Archambeau) during our October open. Should someone outbid you, the high priest will be sure to notify you discreetly to give you the opportunity to increase your contribution to The Order.Bidding will begin at 9:30 PM EST and will end at 12 AM EST. Winners will be announced at that time and items will be handed out.Any found incapable of payment at the end of the night will be personally handled by the High Priest. One can assume that punishments will be creative and entirely at his discretion. Patrons are only encouraged to bid if they can afford to pay.Both gil and items in this exchange are RP only. We will not accept actual gil nor will we provide you with actual in-game items.
. AN ENTIRELY UNREMARKABLE JEWELRY BOX .
Perhaps this particular piece was owned by someone of significant rank or wealth? A Countess, perhaps? Or a Saint of some renown? There must be some reason for such an ordinary jewelry box to be on offer in an auction of otherwise dangerous and esoteric artifacts. Though, at first glance, there is simply nothing obviously unique about it. The metalwork is passable and the rubies set in the lid shimmer brightly, but something like this could be found in the window of any silversmith in town.Anyone who seeks to view this item before bidding will be thoroughly warned to avoid opening it. The Order of Saint Gabineaux will not be responsible for any injuries that may be sustained in the act of ignoring such sound advice.Should anyone attempt to open the box they will quickly discover that it is a rather diminutive mimic and not a jewelry box at all. It would make a lovely gift for the weird little guy in your life. Or, for your favorite frenemy.. STARTING BID .
70,000 gil
. SECRET KEEPER .
Supposedly designed by one of Halone's most devout, this gilded journal is intended to convey each confession inked onto its pages to a priest who will then absolve the writer without the need for a trip to an in-person confessional.There can be no promise of absolution, of course. No one in The Order would presume to speak for the Fury herself, but every word penned in this journal seems to vanish into thin air, either to be stored for later use or to be delivered to whatever member of the clergy responsible for receiving such confessions.Even if the story of the journal were to be false and it was simply a vault for storing one's deepest and darkest secrets, it would still be quite the invaluable tool, for surely it has all sorts of secrets stored in its pages? How many deeply troubled men have owned this in the past? If you could crack the enchantments wide open what might you learn?. STARTING BID .
80,000 gil
. TIMMY .
Timmy is a terribly adorable stuffed penguin. At first glance he doesn't appear to be anything more than a child's toy, but the Brothers insist that he is quite unique. They are not certain if Timmy is haunted or simply enchanted, but plush bird is fond of hide and seek. Do not take your eyes off of him, for the moment you do, he will vanish into thin air. Who knows where you will find him next?Timmy is the perfect gift for collectors of haunted items or children in need of a playmate. He is sure to be endless fun for anyone he goes home with. Assuming the Brothers can find him, that is.. STARTING BID .
25,000 gil
. THE FINAL REFLECTION .
Arguably the most morbid of The Order's offerings this eve, a small mirror has been set into a ring of aged finger bones. No one is certain who those bones belonged to, but the High Priest seems to prefer the theory that they belonged to a long forgotten Saint who was known to have had the power of the Sight.Gazing into the mirror will show the bearer exactly how they will die. It will spare no detail meaning that it is not intended for the faint of heart.The mirror itself will remain covered until it has been formally sold. There will be no exceptions made. This sort of knowledge and power must be paid for.. STARTING BID .
250,000 gil
. KRAKEN'S BLOOD .
Listed as both a collectors item and a unique alchemical reagent, this pint of Kraken's Blood has been properly treated to prevent coagulation and has been stored at the proper temperature to prevent spoilage.Buyers are not advised to open the crystal decanter in which it has been stored, as the scent is truly foul, but any who are well versed in the blood of these beasts would know that is to be expected.. STARTING BID .
45,000 gil
. A LOVELY TOURMALINE BROACH .
The cut, color, and setting of this particular piece would be enough to warrant the steep starting price. It is a piece fit for only the highest of the nobility. And yet, its presence in this particular auction suggests that there is more to it than what meets the eye.While it is unclear which brother pulled this particular piece from his collection, he claims it is known to be haunted. Details on the spirit tethered to the shining stone at the center of the broach are hazy at best, those with an interest in death, the afterlife, and those who never truly depart will find this particular bit of jewelry to be the perfect addition to their collection.The High Priest will not give any guarantee that the broach is, in fact, haunted, but one can take the bone-deep chill that radiates from it as evidence.. STARTING BID .
80,000 gil
. SILENCE .
The Brothers cannot be certain that this ring was always referred to as 'Silence', but that is what it has always been called since it first entered the vaults of The Order of Saint Gabineaux.At first glance it looks to be a well-crafted men's wedding band. The those with a goldsmith's eye it is easy to determine that it was crafted not with pure gold, but rather with an alloy likely intended to conduct aether. The runic engravings on the inside of the band seem to explain why. Though they are quite esoteric, The Order believes that they are intended to suppress the wearer's ability to wield aether both internal and external, effectively silencing the wearer's ability to cast.Potential buyers will not be allowed to try on this particular piece given that the enchantment also makes it difficult to remove once on. Anyone who tries it on against advice commits to spending at least thrice the starting bid as it is now theirs.. STARTING BID .
175,000 gil
. EYE OF THE HYDRA .
Another rare alchemical reagent from The Order's private stores. This particular eye is quite large, and is rumored to have been harvested from the center head of a large beast who inspired terror in all who set eyes upon it.The High Priest will happily confirm that staring into the eye for overly long will lead to an intense feeling of fear and dread. As the proud owner of the second eye, he performed the appropriate tests personally and found the effect to be both fascinating and overwhelming. A must have for any collector of monster memorabilia.. STARTING BID .

Rumors of the reclusive Order of Saint Gabineaux have circulated throughout Ishgard for what seems like centuries. Some claim it to be fictitious, while others swear that they have had family among its ranks. While many of the whispers are different, one thing remains the same: the mages and mystics of the order are powerful, well-connected, and lack scruples. It matters not if you wish to hex your enemy or have a curse broken, there is surely a brother of the order who can assist. Assuming you are willing to make deals with devils.The Order of Saint Gabineaux opens its door once a moon to outsiders. Invitations arrive without a return address, delivered to those who have caught the interest of the High Priest. Masks are required for entry and aliases are encouraged. Come to gawp, find answers to all of your burning questions, or to seek out the brother's esoteric skills. It matters not what brings you to The Order's door, for when you leave you will not be able to find it again. Until next moon.
The Order of Saint Gabineaux is both an RP community and a heavy RP venue focused on an ancient fraternal order of mages within Ishgard. The Order blends the use of powerful magics that the church might find heretical with the worship of the Fury. They believe that such skills are gifts sent from Halone, and said gifts are meant to be nurtured rather than stifled. After all, they are the most pious and the most devout. How could they be heretical?Brothers of the order are chosen for their unique and esoteric magical skills, their devotion to the Fury, and their positions in society. Not all members have hailed from the nobility, however. The Order includes those from all walks of life, and in recent years, even the occasional outsider, assuming they revere Halone.Those who are interested in membership should strive to attract the attention of a brother so that he may vouch before the High Priest. More information can be found in our Discord.
. FAQ: .Are The Order's events invitation only?
ICly, yes. OOCly, no. If you want to come then your character has been invited. The invitation simply showed up in their path looking mysterious and ominous.Is there a dress code?
Yes. All order events are masked for as much anonymity as that can provide. Cocktail attire is also suggested, but not at all required. The crowd is likely to be quite eclectic. So, beyond masks all we ask is that your character is clothed.Who is Saint Gabineaux?
Ask a brother and see what he says.Is The Order a criminal organization?
Not exactly. Most members of The Order are, at the very least, morally grey. Some might participate in criminal behaviors where others do not. It depends on the brother in question. The venue itself is not criminally aligned, but is largely morally grey and members will tend to turn a blind eye to criminal activities discussed by guests.Is The Order manor hidden?
Yes. An invitation allows the character (and any guests they bring with them) to locate the manor on the night of the event. Frequent visitors will note that it never seems to be in the same location and if they attempt to go back after they won't be able to find it. Either they will get lost or it just won't be there. That said, OOCly, the venue is always in the same place.
