Founded September 2013 by the Fearless PaladinJade and White Mage Jade’Ann Byrne (also known as Lavender Herbster), Midgardsormr [Aether]


Introduction: A Feast of Friendship

Nestled in the heart of the Aether Data Center, amidst the vibrant realms of Final Fantasy XIV, lies Sweet n Sour Chocobo NOmsg. More than just a free company, it is a banquet of personalities and stories—a place where the warm glow of campfires rivals the radiance of conjured spells and where every triumph is celebrated with laughter, camaraderie, and a hearty meal. Founded in September 2013 by the multifaceted Jade Ann Byrne—cherished by her peers as both the fearless PaladinJade and the healing light of White Mage Jade’Ann—this band of adventurers has become a beacon of solidarity on Midgardsormr.

Over the years, the Sweet n Sour Chocobo ranks have swelled, welcoming a diverse cast of heroes, crafters, and storytellers. Whether forging grand alliances against looming threats or indulging in the day’s freshest cooking tips, the guild’s ethos remains the same: come as strangers, depart as family. Fittingly, the guild’s name evokes the mix of experiences shared together—sometimes sweet, sometimes sour, but always flavorful and unforgettable.

Below follows an imaginative chronicle of Sweet n Sour Chocobo’s journey through each major expansion and patch cycle, highlighting their daring feats, communal feasts, and the steadfast bonds that have grown stronger with every trial.


A Realm Reborn (2.0) — The Phoenix Rises (2013–2014)

Foundation and Early Adventures
When Final Fantasy XIV was reborn in patch 2.0, Eorzea itself stood on the brink of renewal. Amid the reconstruction efforts following the Calamity, Jade Ann Byrne (then known by many as Lavender Herbster) rallied a group of fledgling adventurers to form Sweet n Sour Chocobo. At the heart of this fledgling free company stood two steadfast pillars:

  1. PaladinJade – A tireless defender whose shield was said to shine brighter than any blade.
  2. White Mage Jade’Ann – A nurturing spirit whose healing incantations mended wounds as swiftly as they lifted hearts.

With the realm’s newfound hope, the company embarked on primal battles—Ifrit, Titan, and Garuda—while forging alliances in the labyrinthine depths of Tam-Tara Deepcroft and the heart-racing corridors of the Praetorium. In between these exploits, the guild’s ā€œGreasy Spoon Supper Clubā€ provided refreshment for body and soul. Rumor has it that Chocobo Drumsticks Ć  la Jade became as iconic to the free company as the Manderville Dance is to a traveling minstrel.

Crystal Tower & Community Expansion
As the patch cycles rolled on (2.1–2.3), the gates to the Crystal Tower opened. The guild’s first large-scale alliance raid tested everyone’s mettle. Despite the imposing presence of the Labyrinth of the Ancients, the group’s synergy shone through, resulting in victory after victory. Back in their cozy housing ward—lavishly decorated with chocobo motifs—Sweet n Sour Chocobo welcomed new companions with celebratory banquets, each dish more sumptuous than the last.

Key Founding Members
From the very beginning, Jade’s personal invitations (often handed out with a bright smile and a chocobo-themed envelope) enriched the roster with a colorful group of characters. Early recruits like Jaolen Skinner and Jamie Dragongirl quickly rose through the ranks, while others—Cerrid Wyn, Clock Spots, and Riley Bear—became indispensable in forging the company’s evolving identity as both a formidable fighting force and a social nexus.


Heavensward (3.0) — The Ascent to Ishgard (2015–2016)

Venturing Into the Frozen North
With Heavensward (3.0), the free company journeyed to the lofty spires of Ishgard. The chill winds of Coerthas did little to cool their spirits. Amid the bitter cold, PaladinJade’s shield was an unwavering bulwark against dragons and zealots alike, while White Mage Jade’Ann provided warmth and healing that made the harshest snows seem like a gentle flurry.

Dravanian Legends & Feast of Dragons
The patch cycles (3.1–3.3) brought formidable trials, including the serpentine skirmishes against Nidhogg’s brood. Undeterred, Sweet n Sour Chocobo soared to new heights—literally. Riding on black chocobos and griffins, they raced through the Sea of Clouds, forging alliances with the Vanu Vanu tribes. Back in Ishgard’s Foundation, the guild’s rowdy feasts became the stuff of legend. Some said even the noble houses would sneak out of their manors to sample Jade’s sweet-and-sour roasts crafted from…well, let us say certain ā€œliberatedā€ chocobo cuts. Only the boldest joked, ā€œThe meat you eat just might be your mount!ā€ā€”though never in earshot of PaladinJade.

Notable Recruitments
During these frozen campaigns, new adventurers sought refuge and purpose with Sweet n Sour Chocobo. Lyzette Roqueforte and Raging Flares brought an eclectic flair to both battles and banquets, while Ravek Darkbreaker introduced specialized ā€œSpc Rnkā€ training regimens that honed novices into seasoned combatants.


Stormblood (4.0) — Liberation on Eastern Winds (2017–2018)

Marching Under Crimson Skies
When the banners of revolution were raised in Ala Mhigo and Doma, Sweet n Sour Chocobo rallied to the cause. Stormblood’s arrival saw PaladinJade defending the oppressed with unwavering fortitude, while White Mage Jade’Ann ventured to the Far East, drawing from ancient healing arts taught by the Domans.

The Kugane Chronicles
The patch cycles (4.1–4.3) ushered the guild to the bustling city of Kugane. Tales of Jade Ann Byrne quieting the storm-tossed seas reached even the revered samurai lords. Meanwhile, rumor had it that PaladinJade bested a legion of Kojin warriors in a wrestling match that shook the underwater Tamamizu settlement. Kugane’s markets bustled with news of Sweet n Sour Chocobo’s lavish feasts—yakiniku-inspired chocobo skewers and fiery ramen that tested even the bravest warrior’s palate.

Family Grows
This era introduced new luminaries:

  • Alittle Snack and Dorian’ll Legend, rumored to partake in more feasting than actual fighting—though they valiantly redeemed themselves in many a primal confrontation.
  • Irilisa Fasun and Maddie Toes, revered for orchestrating jaw-dropping company events that combined battle tournaments with tea ceremonies.

Under Jade’s motherly guidance, these recruits not only found respite but also discovered lifelong friendships.


Shadowbringers (5.0) — The Light in the Dark (2019–2020)

Crossing Over to the First
With Shadowbringers, Eorzea’s champions traversed the rift to the realm of Norvrandt. Here, the sin eater menace threatened to snuff out all hope. Yet the unwavering lights of PaladinJade’s shield and White Mage Jade’Ann’s healing parted the darkness at every turn.

Scions & Sweets
Throughout the patch cycles (5.1–5.3), Sweet n Sour Chocobo cultivated alliances with the Night’s Blessed and the myriad peoples of the First. With each sin eater defeated, the guild rejoiced in raucous gatherings back in Crystarium. Old Eorzean recipes melded with new flavors discovered in Il Mheg, creating feasts of a truly otherworldly caliber. If you’ve heard about the ā€œPixie Dust Pudding with a Chocobo Glaze,ā€ you have Jade’s culinary flair to thank.

The Family That Adventures Together
By now, the free company had grown to an impressive 147 members, each bound by a singular motto: ā€œJoin the family!ā€ Noteworthy additions included:

  • Mignonne Aubergine, a culinarian whose flamboyant plating was matched only by her fierceness in hunts.
  • No-Love, ironically beloved by all for their quick wit and unwavering loyalty.
  • Thuran The’mad, rumored to dabble in voidsent magics—yet always present with a timely raise or a well-placed limit break.

Endwalker (6.0) — Reaching Beyond the Skies (2021–Present)

A Journey to the Moon
With the Endwalker expansion, the stakes soared higher than ever, culminating in a journey to the very moon. Where others saw a bleak lunar expanse, Sweet n Sour Chocobo spied the perfect backdrop for a galactic feast. The Loporrits, entranced by Jade’s cooking, danced merrily under cosmic starlight while the free company regaled them with stories of old Eorzea.

Hope for a New Dawn
As apocalyptic visions loomed, Sweet n Sour Chocobo never wavered. Patch cycles (6.1–6.3) found them championing the cause of Hydaelyn’s chosen, forging alliances with Venat’s echo, and standing firm against the mightiest of Endsinger’s trials. In each confrontation, PaladinJade’s courage shone in the vanguard, while White Mage Jade’Ann’s restorative magic mended hearts as much as wounds.

Continued Growth & Unbreakable Bonds
Throughout these trials, the ranks continued to welcome new adventurers, including:

  • Virtue Absolute, who balanced the artistry of weaving glamours with the deadly precision of a black mage.
  • Yakuza Black, famed for their pragmatic approach to both trade deals and the heat of battle.

From high-born Ishgardians to mysterious travelers from the Far East, all found a seat at Sweet n Sour Chocobo’s table, united by Jade’s steadfast invitation: ā€œReturn home to those who call you family.ā€
