Order of the Twin Adders

[elderseedseer]

	The Order of the Twin Adder
	"Eorzea's children are as trees in a grove - bending to the wind like the willow, or bearing it like the oak. Yet live how we might, the wind shall blow." The Order of the Twin Adder, one of the three Grand Companies of Eorzea located within the Adders' Nest in Gridania, establishes a medium from which the Seedseers can return from their wanderings deep within the Black Shroud and directly oversee not only the safety of Gridania's citizens, but the workings of the local guard. Both the Gods' Quiver, who defend the forest from external threats, and the Wood Wailers, who protect it from internal strife, have expressed their support of this temporary measure. There are, however, those within Gridania who would question the ability of the Seedseers, whose duties until now have been limited to various ritualistic proceedings, and doubt whether or not they are fit to lead a nation into war.

The purpose of the Twin Adders is unique in the context of Gridania. Where the God's Quiver and Wood Wailers work within the forest and city to see to the common defense, the Twin Adders was reformed under the Elder Seedseer Kan-E-Senna to directly answer the Garlemald threat. Its purpose is twofold, first to prevent ongoing incursions into the Aldenard continent by the Imperials, and to prevent the culmination of their Meteor Project. This is a bold and unprecedented mission for the otherwise peaceful people. Even more rare is that the elementals have given their blessing for the reforming of the Grand Company, for in their wisdom they have come to see that should Gridania fall, so too will they, for the people see to their protection.

Work within the Grand Companies is not limited to those with fighting experience. Indeed, the Twin Adders could not flourish without the tireless contributions of those who provision the soldiers. Armorers, cooks, apothecaries, botanists, blacksmiths, all of these provide vital services and supplies for the growing army. So too are emissaries and strategists needed, as well as those who excel in communications and intelligence. There is a place and purpose for any who would align themselves with the Twin Adders for the well-being and protection of Gridania, and the world as a whole.

Ranks and promotions are determined by the hard work and contributions of the individual participants. As this is a fully volunteer organization, pay is provided in Serpent Seals, exchangeable for any number of supplies, from medicines to weaponry. Seals can be earned from participation in missions as well as meeting provisioning and supply needs.

Company Seals

Company seals are the main currency used within the Grand Companies. These are used to purchase key items, medicines, weapons, and armor, some of which are unique to each company, as well as to advance in company ranks. Initially, players can hold a max of 10,000 seals, but as they progress in ranks, they can hold a maximum of 50,000 seals.
There are multiple ways to acquire Grand Company seals:

• Company-exclusive Guildleves grant seals as completion rewards.
• Caravan Security grant seals upon completion, based on the group performance and monsters slain, up to 1,000 seals per run in the high-level caravans.
• Provisioning and Supply missions - Every week, the companies will ask for specific items (generally high level crafting and gathering items) and offer seals per item traded. Each item has a server cap and can only be traded until said cap is reached.
• Company-related sidequests reward seals upon completion, however these cannot be repeated.
• Exchanging armor and weapons obtained from Dzemael Darkhold, The Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak, Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill It and some roaming Notorious Monsters will net you company seals.
