Okay, #FFXIV peeps, it's almost Halloween (or All Saints' Wake), and I am in the mood for seeing some seasonal housing builds!

If you play on any NA server/datacenter and have a spooky housing build, drop the address below, and I'll come see it on stream!

Why, you ask?

A little bit of FFXIV character lore for today.

Janyd LOVES cooking and eating meat. It provides her a sense of comfort and nostalgia going back to her younger days, since hunting game for food was how she learned to wield a sword.

That said, never get between Janyd and her pre-Hunt feast.
