Lore

"I have loved the stars too fondly to be afraid of the night."Standing where the garden gravel meets the marble of the Limsan stairwell, Maeve peered over the residential ward and thought to herself: What is one supposed to do with an estate this size with so much... grief inside of it? The estate she spoke of was a two-story building, overgrown with iridescent blooms and other greenery on the first floor. The basement appeared to be a lounge designed for many to occupy, but the overgrowth shrank the space by a good amount. The second story was inaccessible due to walls crumbling and the staircase not being safe to use. A bittersweet sight, locked away from the public eye to preserve what was left after being vandalized and set ablaze countless times before.Over the course of several months Maeve has made an effort to make the estate livable enough in some areas, but she has struggled to find the time and energy to restore a two-story estate alone. She would often think back to the night that she had first acquired such a space; a note had been left for her by the former company lead, Tesni, that read:_{What we believed this place could be, turned out to be nothing more than a fever dream. The damage is simply too extensive. It's yours, if you so choose. No matter your choice, do not forget the people that reside inside.}Being a solo hunter and traveler for her entire adult life, looking after other people wasn't something that came easily for Maeve. The thought of razing the place to the ground crossed her mind one too many times. However, being a woman of her word and wanting to honor her former comrade's wishes, she decided to take up the mantle of looking after whoever remained in the estate, as well as cultivating what would be the foundation of a budding number in Eorzea.Thus, the Keep's doors were opened for the first time since before the estate was passed down. The Garden of the Stars would serve as a refuge for wanderers in need of respite, as well as a resource for adventurers in need of a place to begin their journey. No debts, no obligation - just a place to bloom.

The garden was created under the premise of not only new beginnings, but celebrating and embracing that journey, no matter your progress. Wanting to aid adventurers of all experience levels, Maeve has labored tirelessly to cultivate and foster a home that anyone could thrive in; whether you are setting out on your first adventure, or you are a seasoned warrior, there is a place for everyone. From extinguishing threats to aiding people across Hydaelyn, adventurers have plenty of opportunities to gain valuable experience while facing new challenges. In the lulls where everyone is off-duty, folks spend their time how they choose to, but taking part in community-driven events and charitable causes will always be highly encouraged.“The sun will shine again.”
