42162688487685600228001159278150181001Barracuda Piers"Under the azure, I gazed down upon warships three, their billowing sails of crimson leaving no doubt as to who truly rules the seas." Such were the merchant's words, and I would see as he saw.These docks provide safe mooring for the Thalassocratic Navy's principal squadrons, also known as the Crimson Fleet. To prevent sabotage, admittance to the area is forbidden to the general citizenry; however, on clear days, one may catch a glimpse of the armada flagship, the <Emphasis>Triumph</Emphasis>, from atop one of Limsa Lominsa's myriad spans.81451True
52162689487685900221800459278150281002The <Emphasis>Astalicia</Emphasis>"A flagon or two o' grog havin' filled me 'ead with big ideas, I eyed that 'ive o' villainy from the pier, feelin' as if I could cut down One-eyed Hyllfyr 'imself. Woke the next mornin' strung up by me ankles. Aye, was lucky to escape with me life." Such were the buccaneer's words, and I would see as he saw.Registered as a trade vessel hailing from foreign waters, this battle-scarred warship captained by the lord of the region's underworld, One-eyed Hyllfyr, serves as a gathering place for brigands, cutthroats, and the purveyors of sundry other breeds of villainy. It is here that the city-state's many pirate crews find new recruits to join their ranks.81451True
6216269048769050058500759308150381003Seasong Grotto"In a dank cavern that's never known the sun, the patter of the rain me only companion, I dropped to one knee and said me farewells to me ill-fated mates. They sing no songs for fishermen, but the sea swallows us all the same." Such were the old mariner's words, and I would see as he saw.“I am the waves that bear, I am the winds that guide. I am the evening stars, I am the morning sky. I am born of the sea, and there shall I die.” Nestled within a shallow cavern situated to the south of Summerford Farms sits an ancient monolith upon which is carved this, the Sailors' Requiem.81451True
721626914876907002212001659308150481004The Skylift"Backbreakin', arse-bustin' work, it is. But seein' me vessels ridin' the winds, soarin' off to far lands where me legs will never carry me─well, at least me sweat and blood ain't been for naught, eh?" Such were the laborer's words, and I would see as he saw.Once an endless expanse of flat, rocky meadows, middle La Noscea is now severed atwain by a sheer cliff known as the Descent. To maintain overland trade routes from the easterly outposts of Aleport and Bronze Lake, Lominsan engineers created the Skylift─a tower of wooden scaffolding outfitted with pulleys, winches, and lighter-than-air balloons.81451True
82162692487691200228001159308150581005La Thagran Eastroad"When the skies turn grey and spirits sag, I climb high and look upon roads blazed long ago. I turn my thoughts to the hardships of my forebears till mine own worries drift away, and I find strength to carry on." Such were the sentry's words, and I would see as she saw.When the <Emphasis>Galadion</Emphasis> fell victim to the Navigator's fury and ran aground on the southern shores of Vylbrand seven hundred years ago, it was her two helmsmen, Jean De Nevelle and Guy La Thagran, who were tasked with exploring the newfound island─the former heading east, the latter, west. To this day, their routes still serve as La Noscea's two main thoroughfares.81451True
92162693487692000221800459318150881008The Salt Strand"Under the watchful gaze of the Wanderer, I cast a line to waters far below. Looking upon those pillars, grotesque and beautiful, my thoughts drift to that fateful day five years ago." Such were the fisher's words, and I would see as she saw.When struck by a fallen shard from Dalamud's outer shell, a massive amount of concentrated aether was released from just below the surface of the Rhotano Sea, immediately fusing with and crystallizing the towering fount of saltwater which was expelled during the impact. City-state-funded exploratory forays into the inner crater have all yet to return...81451True
10216269448769210022500759318150981009Red Rooster Stead"No romance in the farmin' life? Balderdash, I say! Rise at dawn, climb atop the gate, and look upon the dew-kissed fields below─then tell me there's any place in the realm ye'd rather be." Such were the farmer's words, and I would see as he saw.The farmers on the Red Rooster Stead will rarely shy from testing their agricultural acumen on exotic crops or untested growing methods, and take pride in their willingness to sacrifice a harvest if it means a better yield an autumn hence. The plantation's name is said to be taken from the bloody cockfights held after nightfall by the gamekeeps.81451True
11216269548769260022500759338151381013The Brewer's Beacon"When dawn breaks, I quench the flame and pour meself an ale. I step outside, and lose meself in the blue expanse above and below─me hard-earned reward for the ships I've seen to safety, I reckon." Such were the candlekeep's words, and I would see as he saw.This relatively new lighthouse was built soon after the Calamity claimed Swiftperch Tower to ensure safe passage for trade vessels carrying shipments of dark stouts and blonde barleywines out of Aleport. In addition, the candlekeeps also keep watch for increasingly frequent rogue tidal waves caused by the stirrings of the Lord of the Whorl.81451True
1221626964868036002212001659398155281052The Leatherworkers' Guild"Knew it was my calling ever since I was knee-high to a goobbue. When cloudy days sunk my spirits, I'd sneak into the guild, climb as high as my legs could carry me, and watch the tanners and tawers at work below." Such were the craftsman's words, and I would see as he saw.Crafters for the realm-famous Atelier Fen-Yll, the Leatherworkers' Guild boasts the finest tawers and tanners in all Eorzea. In recent years, the workshop has come to be known for its Geva patterns, which outline methods of working and cutting hides, pelts, skins, and furs in a way that honors the elementals within by minimizing waste.81452True
132162697487692800221800459398155381053Apkallu Falls"My favoritest place is where I can see the falling water. There's a secret path that only I know. I snuck out of bed to go there last night. Mum and Dad made me promise I wouldn't climb up there anymore─you won't tell them, will you?" Such were the little boy's words, and I would see as he saw.Named after a failed attempt by an ambitious Gridanian merchant to hatch and breed apkallus in the linn, Apkallu Falls is most remembered for serving as a place of meditation for the late Louisoix Leveilleur, Circle of Knowing Archon and hero of Eorzea.81452True
1421626984877070005012001659548155581055Bentbranch Meadows"Cute little bugger, isn't he? The moogle, that is. Seein' him up there on a clear day, swayin' gently in the wind, it's enough to lull a man to slumber. Me, I settle for a stump and a moment's repose." Such were the stablehand's words, and I would see as he saw.Once Moogle's Gift Mounts was established and its rookery stocked with Ishgard's finest birds, it was not long before an entire settlement had grown up around the stables. The trademark balloon tethered to the main building is actually an Ixali war vessel claimed by chocobokeeps after it became tangled in a nearby tree and was abandoned by its riders.81452True
152162699487707100588001159558156081060The Sanctum of the Twelve"I've never been the pious type, but when the sun strikes those windows and the trees in the gardens glisten, even I find myself mouthing a prayer from time to time." Such were the botanist's words, and I would see as he saw.This sky-scraping ivory cathedral was built following the Age of Endless Frost─a dark period in which the realm was overrun with famine and disease─to serve as a place of refuge and respite for all who sought succor. Soon after, however, it fell into ruin and was all but forgotten...until the advent of the Seventh Umbral Era saw need for its rise once again.81452True
162162700487707200221800459558156181061Little Solace"To know the sylph, you must be the sylph. I may lack for wings, but a short climb will put me in a similar position. Lights dancing in the dark before me, I ponder what mischief I might make─er, were I a sylph, that is." Such were the scholar's words, and I would see as he saw.Little is the solace granted to those sylphs who would voice their opposition to the summoning of the Lord of Levin. Little is the solace bequeathed upon those who would abandon their homes in the Sylphlands and shun their frenzied brethren. Thus, it is only through fraternity that those sylphs may ultimately find solace, however little it may be.81452True
17216270148770730031500759518160181101Royal Promenade"Come morning, when my watch is over, I stand upon the three plates of silver depicting the first three of our kind. Paying reverence to those who came before us, I salute my sworn brothers who stand before me." Such were the Sultansworn's words, and I would see as he saw.In times when the sultan had sole rule over the city-state, the Promenade would serve as an ersatz waiting chamber for those petitioners who sought audience with His Resplendence in the Fragrant Chamber. Now, with power in the hands of the Syndicate, the round is empty, save for the occasional tryst betwixt young nobles.81453True
1821627024877074002212001659518160281102The Gold Court"Even the strings of the tightest purse loosen upon seeing my famed balancing act. From vaulted gardens I leap onto the eastmost streetlamp, then bask as dour, cloudy expressions break into smiles and a shower of gil." Such were the acrobat's words, and I would see as he saw.A large atrium in the heart of Ul'dah, the Gold Court's opulence and scale make it a popular meeting place for the city's elite. The plaza was once reserved for the sultan's private balls, but has since been opened to the public due to a lack of funds to maintain the majestic hanging fountain at her center.81453True
192162703487707700221800459428160381103The Jewel of the Desert"From a vantage point high above Nophica's Wells, I looked out upon Ul'dah in all its glory─truly a jewel in the desert, shining brighter than a sea of stars." Such were the adventurer's words, and I would see as she saw.The commercial hub of Ul'dah is organized strategically around the dome-shaped citadel at its center. Its towering fortifications and protective outer walls bedighted with myriad glass panes and colorful mosaics are visible for malms in all directions, and serve as a stark yet dazzling deterrent to would-be besiegers.81453True
202162704487707800228001159438160681106The Ruins of Sil'dih"The fog was so thick you could cut it with a blade. My foot slipped, and in an eyeblink I was sprawled out on a cliff, the ruins of a buried city before me. Sadly, the stinging pain in my arse detracted somewhat from my enjoyment of the scenery." Such were the adventurer's words, and I would see as he saw.The city-states of Ul'dah and Sil'dih coexisted for generations until four hundred years ago when bad blood festering betwixt the two sultanates culminated in the War of the Sisters─leaving Sil'dih a smoldering pile of rubble to be claimed by the shifting desert sands. The subsequent relocation of Ul'dah placed the city-state nearly directly above her fallen sibling.81453True
212162705487707900917001759448160981109The Lonely Giant"Merciful are the rains that fall, for they give succor to the thirsting land, and comfort the old wounds of one who journeyed too far from home." Such were the botanist's words, and I would see as she saw.Local legend claims the Lonely Giant is everything from the ghost of a Sil'dihn sultan, to the prototype for a new model of Garlean machina. Ul'dahn scholars, however, simply believe him a Coerthan goobbue who lost his bearings during the chaos of the Calamity, and after a long journey through the Black Shroud, died of exhaustion upon reaching Thanalan.81453True
222162706487708100228001159448161081110The Invisible City"As I felled my quarry atop a great stone slab, my eyes drifted up to a city swallowed by the clouds and the mountain itself. I know not who once called it home, nor why it fell, but it was a sight to behold." Such were the adventurer's words, and I would see as he saw.Buried under nearly a malm of solid rock, if not for a gaping rent torn open by the Calamity, these ancient ruins may have gone undiscovered for another thousand summers. Scholars sent to Highbridge to study the site are currently of a mind that the structures are not a city, but in fact the tomb of one Lalafuto IV, famed sultan of Belah'dia.81453True
23216270748770820058500759448161181111Highbridge"En route from Ul'dah to Gridania, I sought lodgings at Highbridge. Setting out at first light, I looked out upon the wise men of old─at least they looked wiser than me─and asked for guidance in my travels." Such were the merchant's words, and I would see as he saw.After the Calamity rent eastern Thanalan asunder, one of the first projects commissioned by the Syndicate was the construction of a bridge to span the newly formed chasm and restore the trade route with lands transpontine. The city which has sprung up along its edges is populated almost solely by scholars investigating the nearby ruins of the Invisible City.81453True
2421627084877083002212001659308150681006Woad Whisper Canyon"Don't tell Baderon, but if ye ask me, ye'll find no better place to down a flagon of ale than where the water dances, keepin' ye cool on even the 'ottest summer's day." Such were the laborer's words, and I would see as he saw.Little more than a shallow valley but five years past, Woad Whisper Canyon was carved into a gaping gorge in a matter of moons after the Calamity drained Bronze Lake and dramatically altered the course of the Nym River. On hot days, laborers from both Summerford Farms and the Skylift will oft take respite in the cool mists of the falls...if not met by bandits.81451False
25216270948770840022500759308150781007Summerford FarmsOverheard at a tavern: "Erstwhile pirates taken to land, drunk on ale and tales of wenches and plunder, climb atop lamps as if they were manning the crow's nest of a great vessel..."When Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn rose to Admiral, one of her first decrees included the clearing of large swaths of land for new Lominsan settlements. Summerford Farms and its expansive orange groves is one of those locations─its name is derived from the man-made crossings required when late spring runoff from Mt. O'Ghomoro causes the Rogue River to swell.81451False
2621627104877085002212001659318151081010The Grey Fleet"I took refuge inside to get away from the rain. To my ill fortune, the beastmen had the same idea. Quickly, I climbed to the roof and plotted a course of escape. Quite a view, though staying alive was a far more pressing concern at the time." Such were the merchant's words, and I would see as he saw.Sitting high atop Widow Cliffs on the southeastern coast of Vylbrand, the Grey Fleet was built to harness the constant southerly winds funneled down through the Strait of Merlthor, and use them to power the many mills which grind the region's wheat and full its wool.81451False
272162711487708700528001159328151181011Hidden Falls"The ogling from the men as they recline burns brighter than the summer sun. I don't mind much, provided they're handsome...and wealthy doesn't hurt either." Such were the young lady's words, and I would see as she saw.Sheltered on three sides by towering cliffs, Hidden Falls can be found several score yalms upstream from where the Agelyss River empties into the Strait of Merlthor. Taken by its beauty, Ul'dahn plutocrat Gegeruju was quick to purchase the land and construct a stage upon which private performances for the magnate's favored clients are held.81451False
282162712487708800221800459328151281012Gullperch Tower"The rains may cloud our view, but they won't stop those who would invade our shores. And so we climb high, scouring the horizon for any sign of danger." Such were the lookout's words, and I would see as he saw.One of three beacons built along the La Noscean coast in the Sixth Astral Era, Gullperch Tower is the easternmost─warning ships navigating the Strait of Merlthor of its deadly shallows, while also serving as a watchtower for pirate and Sahagin raids on Bloodshore.81451False
2921627134877089005817001759338151481014The Navigator"I've no wife, an' no mind to take one─the only child I'll ever know is the ale I brew. And so, as the cargo ships pull out of the harbor, I say a prayer to the watcher of seas, that She'll see me sons safe to someone's belly somewhere." Such were the brewer's words, and I would see as he saw.Carved centuries past by a famous Roegadyn sculptor, this massive stone effigy located in the center of Aleport's lower plaza serves as hallowed ground upon which sailors might offer solemn prayers to the watcher of the seas before embarking on their journeys across the untamed deep. 81451False
302162714487709000221800459338151581015The Ship Graveyard"If yer wise, ye won't look too closely. It's not just flotsam the dark tides drag in, and there are sights what could haunt the bravest of men for life. Aye, ye'll not catch me dead going there─least of all at night." Such were the lighthouse keeper's words, and I would see as he saw.For centuries, ships wrecked off the shores of southern Vylbrand have been carried upon currents to this quiet inlet─a timeless reminder of the deep's boundless wrath. So many are the wooden corpses which populate this watery lichyard, it is said that for every hull visible above the waves, a score more slumber beneath.81451False
312162715487709100228001159338151681016Camp Skull ValleyOverheard at an inn: "There's an outpost with quite a view of the land, but you'll want to steel yourself well if you mean to go there..."Now a strategic outpost for the Maelstrom, Camp Skull Valley was once but a circle of tents occupied by a meager Yellowjacket unit charged with surveilling the area for kobold incursions. Those beastmen foolish enough to venture down from O'Ghomoro were slaughtered and beheaded─their skulls put on display as a warning to others.81451False
3221627164877092002212001659338151781017TidegateOverheard at an alehouse: "When I've misplaced my goods, I climb atop the tents and scour the ground below. Offers a clear view, and you'd be surprised at how sturdy they are..."Taking advantage of the chaos left in the Calamity's wake, a large force of Sahagin rose from the seas and laid claim to Halfstone, a distant Lominsan settlement on the far-western edge of La Noscea. To prevent any further swells of the beastman forces, a massive wall was erected between the enemy-occupied lowlands and the allied Skull Valley.81451False
3321627174877099002217001759348151881018Camp Bronze LakeOverheard at a tavern: "Nothing like feeling the cool breeze on your skin after a hot bath. The view's nothin' to sneeze at, either..."The formation of great underwater fissures during the Calamity saw nearly half of the water comprising Bronze Lake vanish in the span of a single night. The result was the uncovering of ancient Nymian ruins submerged for thousands of years─most notably, the Wanderer's Palace, a temple dedicated to the god Oschon.81451False
3421627184877101002212001659348151981019Thalaos"Under the burning sun, I climbed to the tip of the ancient one and turned my thoughts to the days when it roamed the deep. This was when inspiration struck..." Such were the scholar's words, and I would see as she saw.Though there is no proof to support the claim, rumor has these sun-bleached remains of a long-dead denizen of the deep are those of one of the legendary twin sea serpents believed to have been unleashed by the Navigator, Llymlaen, at the dawn of eras to fill the empty seas (the other being Perykos).81451False
352162719487710300221800459348152081020Jijiroon's Trading PostOverheard at a tavern: "Spent the night on that ledge, I did─anything to escape those shelled monstrosities. Wasn't a bad sight, though I can't say I enjoyed the trip down..."Located on the eastern banks of Bronze Lake, Jijiroon's Trading Post is one of two makeshift markets peddling baubles and trinkets to those brave enough to venture that deep into kobold lands. The other is Memeroon's Trading Post, run by Jijiroon's estranged sibling, to whom the stubborn Qiqirn merchant hasn't spoken in twenty summers.81451False
3621627204877105002218004593508152181021The Floating City of Nym"There were islands floating in the sky, and crystals that shone like terrestrial stars. Even now, I wonder if it was but a dream..." Such were the fledgling adventurer's words, and I would see as she saw.Suspended high above the foothills of Mt. O'Ghomoro is the Floating City of Nym─central hub of a lost civilization which prospered on Vylbrand during the Fifth Astral Era. The accepted theory as to how the city was torn from the realm involves the over-aspecting of corrupted wind crystals─a phenomenon witnessed late in the Sixth Astral Era.81451False
372162721487710600225007593508152281022Camp OverlookOverheard at an inn: "You'll want to keep a wide berth of brigands and beastmen both. There's a crumbling gate, overrun by shrubbery. Makes for good cover, and offers an unobstructed view of the road below─two birds with one stone."Manned by the “meanest shite-kickin' unit in the whole damn Maelstrom,” Camp Overlook serves as the base of operations for the Red Swallows─a privateer levy tasked with the surveillance of kobold activity in outer La Noscea and along the slopes of Mt. O'Ghomoro. 81451False
38216272248771070022120016593508152381023U'Ghamaro Mines"Reeks of sulphur and slumgullion, for sure, but lookin' down from that furnace, I could swear there was somethin' almost beautiful about the place. Either that or the fumes have gotten to me head..." Such were the soldier's words, and I would see as he saw.The brilliant rainbow-colored hues that permeate the otherwise bistre slopes of O'Ghomoro are a result of the endless flow of toxic slumgullion streaming forth from the labyrinthine warrens that make up U'Ghamaro Mines. As more kobolds arrive on the surface each day, there is a scramble to construct new forges to accommodate them.81451False
3921627234877108005018004593508152481024The Hermit's Hovel"Someone actually lives there? I'll believe it when I meet the man. Still, you'll not find me complaining─it's a fine place to sit down and rest your weary legs for a spell." Such were the adventurer's words, and I would see as he saw.While few have ever seen the lord of this humble hideaway which rests precariously on the edge of an unscalable precipice─let alone obtained his permission for entering the premises─that has not stopped travelers from taking full advantage of the respite the location offers, whether it be a dip in the steaming pools, or a few bells' slumber on the soft goosefeather bed.81451False
402162724487711100228001159398155181051The Carline CanopyOverheard about town: "There's nothing quite like standing beside the mighty waterwheel, watching brave men and women as they come and go."Nestled cozily within the inn known as the Roost lies the relaxing Carline Canopy, a haven for those seeking a respite from travel's travails or questing's quandaries. Figaga's Gift, the towering waterwheel found outside the café, powers the saws and lathes of the Carpenters' Guild, and is widely considered Gridania's grandest architectural achievement.81452False
41216272548680370022500759398155481054The Lancers' Guild"In my early days of training, I was told to study the movements of my seniors. Climbing to what I thought the perfect vantage point, I earned no praise, only thorough scolding from my instructor." Such were the guardsman's words, and I would see as he saw.Founded by legendary Wood Wailer captain Mistalle, the Lancers' Guild doubles as a headquarters for those who keep the peace within Gridania, and the greater peace without. It is to these “Wailing Barracks” that people come with matters whose resolution requires a polearm's edge, and justice meted out to those who have wronged the forest or forestborn.81452False
42216272648771120022500759548155681056The Bannock"My subordinates have a knack for disappearing from time to time, but not to worry. Climb high and survey the stump below, and the shirkers in the shadows are soon revealed." Such were the guard captain's words, and I would see as he saw.Built around the stump of a fallen heavenspillar, the Bannock serves as training grounds for Order of the Twin Adder initiates. There are several theories regarding the origin of the area's name, some claiming it is taken from the hard tack issued to Grand Company recruits, others that it is derived from the training stump's resemblance to those selfsame rations.81452False
432162727487711300221800459548155781057Haukke Manor"I fled as fast as my legs could carry me, till I stood atop massive tree roots with nowhere to run. The glow from the windows, so beautiful, yet so terrible..." Such were the madman's words, and I would see as he saw.Long frowned upon by the people of Gridania as a symbol of excess, the Seedseers would finally submit to pressure from the citizenry, selling the deed to the manor to Lady Amandine of House Dartancours. The word “Haukke” is of ancient Padjali origin and means, “to speak without words.”81452False
4421627284877163002212001659548155881058The Guardian Tree"When I feel I have lost my way, I look down upon the ancient arbor under the shining sun. I look down, and I listen." Such were the conjurer's words, and I would see as she saw.Having seen over a thousand summers, the Guardian Tree is purportedly the oldest arbor in all the Black Shroud, and home to the great one─an elder elemental who watches and presides over the forest's denizens. The fruit borne by the tree resembles a plum and is sought after across the Three Great Continents for its curative properties.81452False
4521627294877165002211001359548155981059Rainbow Bridge"Shimmering in the sun and mist, the bridge is a sign that for all the pain we have inflicted on our forest home, the elementals still grace us with their favor." Such were the conjurer's words, and I would see as he saw.When struck by the rare sunbeams which happen to penetrate the thick canopy of the Black Shroud, the veil of fine mist created by one of the East Vein's myriad cataracts projects a brilliant rainbow which appears to connect the river's east and west banks. The grotto hidden behind the veil houses one of the forest's most sacred locations─Lifemend Stump.81452False
462162730487870300221800459558156281062The Seedbed"Flora or fauna, one cannot but marvel at the wonder of birth." Such were the scholar's words, and I would see as he saw.Illuminated in the soft glow of countless moonspores, the Seedbed is an ancient arbor-turned-nursery used by the sylphs to grow and incubate their offspring, also known as podlings.81452False
472162731487873600228001159568156381063Buscarron's Druthers"What was I doin' up there at dawn in the pourin' rain? Hells if I can remember, but it wasn't a bad view." Such were the drunkard's words, and I would see as he saw.The Druthers is run by a disenfranchised ex-sentry-turned-tavernkeep and welcomes all manner of folk, from upstanding to unsavory, so long as they follow Buscarron Strongarm's simple rules of etiquette: sit down, forget your worries, and savor your ale.81452False
482162732487875900228001159568156481064South Shroud LandingOverheard at a tavern: "Bet the people who built that place never thought it would end up used like that."Constructed by Highwind Skyways to serve as a landing for cargo airships, this location was quickly abandoned when the imperial presence in the area became too large to ignore. Now the site is used as a makeshift market where bandits and poachers peddle their ill-gotten wares far from the eyes of the law.81452False
4921627334878763002212001659568156581065Urth's Gift"Shrouded in mist, bathed in ephemeral light. I felt as if I'd left the forest behind and come to another world..." Such were the conjurer's words, and I would see as he saw.Ancient writings tell that in exchange for her lifeblood, Lady Urth was able to seal the Dark Divinity Odin in a crystalline prison beneath a bubbling wellspring. To honor her sacrifice, the land upon which she drew her last breath still bears her name.81452False
50216273448787640022500759568156681066Quarrymill"As I was cleaning out the chimneys, I could not help but be struck by the view below. My village may be a humble one, but there's nowhere else I'd call home." Such were the hunter's words, and I would see as he saw.Once a deal had been struck between the Gelmorrans and the elementals allowing their return to the forest surface, the Elezen began unearthing large quantities of boulders to build the foundations of their new city, Gridania. The waterwheels of Quarrymill were raised to power the hammers which rendered the massive stones into workable blocks.81452False
5121627354878773002212001659578156781067Ixali Logging Grounds"I stood there atop the butchered arbor, my fist trembling in anger. Those who would harm our forest home must be shown no quarter." Such were the sentry's words, and I would see as he saw.The Ixal have never taken well their banishment from the Black Shroud, and to this day continue to fell the hoary sentinels growing on the forest's outskirts. Too heavy to drag back to their settlements in Natalan or faraway Xelphatol, the ill-gotten lumber is tied to balloons buoyed with Ixali airstones and flown to the beast tribe's homeland under the cover of night.81452False
522162736487878400221800459578156881068Fallen Neurolink"I don't like it, I can tell you that. That crescent...whatever it is...protruding into the sky. It doesn't belong there. It doesn't belong nowhere in this world." So were the guard's words, and I would see as he saw.Coined by the learned men of Garlond Ironworks, these massive rings were used to dampen spiritual energies, preventing the focusing of power required to wield magicks. No less than five, each measuring hundreds of yalms across, were required to keep Bahamut silent for three full eras...but even then they proved insufficient.81452False
532162737487879000228001159578156981069Alder Springs"So there I was, starin' out over those naked tree limbs. Was feelin' brave, so I thought I'd see just how far I could go. As it turns out? Pretty far." Such were the mountaineer's words, and I would see as he saw.Once a vast grove of giant alders, the flames of the Calamity reduced the area to a charred graveyard, leaving nothing of the ancient holt but its name.81452False
5421627384879319002217001759428160481104Castrum Marinum"Say what you will about our foe, you can't deny that the architecture of their outposts has a certain ghastly charm. I would have enjoyed the sunset a while longer, but the cohort doesn't take kindly to tourists." Such were the scout's words, and I would see as he saw.Situated atop the roiling Rhotano Sea between Aldenard and the eastern coast of Vylbrand, Castrum Marinum serves as the southernmost outpost for the Garlean Empire's XIVth Legion. The cohort stationed on this man-made floating island is primarily tasked with the resupplying of imperial army cohorts deployed in the La Noscea and Thanalan theaters. 81453False
5521627394879321002712001659428160581105Vesper BayOverheard in a tavern: "Go where the wealthy go and do what they do, and sooner or later their good fortune will rub off on you. That said, the merchant wasn't too happy when I climbed atop his estate for a better view..."A bustling port city strategically situated on the western coast of Thanalan and maintained using funds generously provided by Syndicate chairman Lolorito, Vesper Bay serves as a gateway in and out of sultanate-controlled lands. The colossal bronze statue in the main plaza is said to be an exact likeness of said chairman (when viewed from afar).81453False
562162740487961100221800459438160781107Black Brush Station"A modern marvel she may be, but a right bitch to keep runnin'. I couldn't tell you how many hours I've spent surveyin' from all directions and altitudes. You can have the view, just give me a good night's sleep!" Such were the railroad man's words, and I would see as he saw.A marvel of modern innovation, the steam engine has transformed the mining industry, increasing efficiency and profits thrice over. It has also led to the transformation of what was once a thinly manned aetheryte outpost into a thriving crossroads of labor and commerce─a new pillar to support the thriving Ul'dahn economy.81453False
5721627414879612005212001659438160881108Gate of NaldOverheard on the streets: "Lost me job, me family─and any coin I could spend to drown me sorrows. And so I stood atop the canvas, looking out over the wasteland of me life."One of three main portals accessible by the general populace, the Gate of Nald is wide enough for two fully burdened chocobo carriages to enter abreast and still leave room for the flanking gateguards. Her Royal Majesty Nanamo Ul Namo has commanded that the portcullis remain open night and day, so as to welcome all who would partake of Ul'dah's wonders.81453False
5821627424879625002212001659448161281112The Burning WallOverheard in an alehouse: "Standing atop the crystal affords you the best view of the place, if you're brave enough to make the climb..."Once an unscalable precipice severing eastern Thanalan from the Grand Wake, the Burning Wall earned its name for the deep-red glow it would emit each evening as the sun set. Toppled by the Calamity, that cliff no longer exists─in its place a queer forest of crystalline sentinels and malformed creatures shunned by nature itself.81453False
592162743487962600228001159448161381113The Golden Bazaar"A ghost town? Hah! Mark my words, I'll make my fortune there. When the sun is high, I climb atop the fencing and survey the land for untapped veins of ore." Such were the miner's words, and I would see as he saw.Once a waypoint for traders making the journey between Gridania and Ul'dah, the rise of settlements such as Camp Drybone and Highbridge have all but rendered the once prospering hamlet a ghost town. Rumors of mythril deposits in the nearby mountains and treasure in the ruins of the Invisible City, however, may work to rekindle this dying ember.81453False
602162744487962700581800459448161481114Thal's Respite"Those who do not pay proper obeisance will find their fortunes all too fleeting. Those who do will feel the tears of mercy washing over them like the pouring rains." Such were the initiate's words, and I would see as he saw.Overseer of wealth in the afterlife, proper obeisance to the Trader, Thal, is required for those who wish to take belongings accumulated in this world to the hereafter. Thal's Respite is oft used by stout devotees of the Order of Nald'thal as a place of fasting and prayer, but its distance from Ul'dah prevents all but the most affluent from making the journey.81453False
61216274548796280058500759458161581115Nald's Reflection"Those who do not pay proper obeisance will find fortune ever elusive. Those who do will see the fog lifted, and know the joys of abundance." Such were the initiate's words, and I would see as he saw.Overseer of wealth and commerce upon the corporeal plane, it is believed that through fervent worship of the Trader Nald, one will reap immeasurable fortune in one's living years. Prince and pauper alike once made pilgrimages to this remote place of prayer in search of prosperity...until, that is, Milvaneth Sacrarium opened a new (toll-based) temple within Ul'dah.81453False
62216274648796290022500759458161681116Zahar'ak"Some call the sight bleak, but to me it's a thing of beauty. The winds pound away at the hills, but strong we stand─our gaze locked on our foe." Such were the sentry's words, and I would see what he saw.Loosely translated as “land of perseverance,” Zahar'ak is a forward stronghold for the Amalj'aa host based in Zanr'ak. The beast tribe believes the scorched plains of Thanalan to be hallowed ground blessed by the cleansing flames of their primal deity, Ifrit, and as such are intent on driving from the land all whom they deem invaders.81453False
6321627474879630002212001659458161781117The Sagolii Desert"After a fortnight of wandering, I found myself under the searing sun, looking out upon the ruins of Allag. It was then I swore to myself: I will not succumb─not this day." Such were the wayfarer's words, and I would see what he saw.According to the Sons of Saint Coinach, the Sagolii Desert was once a verdant sea of lush plains capable of sustaining great civilizations, as is evidenced by the ruins recently discovered in the area. How such a place devolved into a lifeless desert remains a mystery, but recent disaster tells us an ancient calamity is the likely culprit.81453False
6421627484879631002212001659458161881118The Sunken Temple of QarnOverheard in a tavern: "...Ah, a fellow antiquarian! There's a slanted stone slab that affords you the best vantage point of the ruins."Most scholars of ancient Belah'dian civilization claim this twisting labyrinth of complex chambers to be a place of worship dedicated to the sun goddess, Azeyma. Recent diggings, however, have uncovered older chambers buried beneath the new containing relics not of the Sixth Astral Era, suggesting that the temple may have been built by a different people.81453False
65216274948796320030500759458161981119Minotaur Malm"Beads of sweat flying from their broad shoulders, massive muscles tightening and loosening─no, I've not seen a finer sight in all the realm." Such were the warrioress's words, and I would see what she saw.Local legend has that long ago, a young goatherd leading his pack to water at Forgotten Springs was set upon and chased a full malm through these caves by a minotaur. There has yet to be a second sighting of the creature, but the stories are enough to frighten away most who would consider passage through this trading post used by the Seventy-Seven Caravans.81453False
66216275048796330031500759468162081120East Watchtower"On the watch, slumber's siren call is your greatest foe. When I feel myself drifting off at my post, I envision my commander standing before me, and put the fear of the gods in myself." Such were the sentry's words, and I would see what he saw.To power their legions of warmachina, the Garleans require a steady supply of the aether-based fuel known as ceruleum. Bluefog housing the largest deposit in Eorzea, the Empire has begun their own mining operation but a stone's throw from the Allied refineries, heightening tensions in the area and prompting the construction of two watchtowers.81453False
672162751487963400221800459468162181121Ceruleum Pipeline"My duties include keeping the portcullis well oiled. A right fine view on a clear day, but don't lose your balance─it's a long way down." Such were the soldier's words, and I would see what he saw.Even before airships and engines were commonplace in Eorzea, Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern recognized the potential value of ceruleum and laid claim to nearly all of the untapped deposits in northern Thanalan. In an ironic twist, for many years before the Garlean invasion, the Concern's biggest customer was, in fact, the imperial army.81453False
6821627524879635002212001659468162281122Bluefog"Fog ain't supposed to be blue, least not where I come from─gives me the creeps. On such rare occasions as it clears up, I look upon the valley from on high. Simple pleasure, but it keeps me from losin' my bloody mind." Such were the laborer's words, and I would see what he saw.Though abundant on the northern continent of Ilsabard, only a handful of ceruleum deposits have ever been discovered on Aldenard, the largest being buried under the Sea of Spires in northern Thanalan. Ceruleum is a highly unstable substance and will begin to evaporate when in contact with air, resulting in the bluish haze from which this area earns its name.81453False
692162753487963600228001159468162381123Raubahn's Push"Even in the wind and swirling snow, the talons are unmistakable, clutching toward the skies. Don't ask what compelled me to climb to the very tip of one, but I can tell you the sight was something to behold." Such were the sentry's words, and I would see what he saw.In the final days of the Sixth Astral Era, the ceruleum fields of northern Thanalan proved to be one of the most hotly contested areas in all Eorzea, with the Empire amassing a giant host outside of Bluefog to seize control of the local fuel refineries. Though outnumbered three to one, Raubahn and his army succeeded in “pushing” back the enemy.81453False
702162754487963700221800459468162481124Abandoned Amajina Mythril Mine"I didn't know what those madmen were going to do with me, and I wasn't about to find out. When the fog descended, I snuck out across a collapsed pillar. Lucky to be alive, though I do wish I'd had the luxury to enjoy the view." Such were the adventurer's words, and I would see what he saw.The discovery of mythril in a small copper mine in Bluefog triggered the Great Rush which saw would-be prospectors flock to the Sea of Spires in search of quick and easy fortune. The veins that ran through the mountains, however, were not deep, and it was but ten summers before the mines ceased to yield the precious metal, forcing many to abandon their claims. 81453False
7121627554879638002217001759638165181151The Nail"I suppose the view is impressive, yes, but it's rare that I have a moment to appreciate it. Too much work to be done before the sun goes down." Such were the draughtsman's words, and I would see what he saw.As is described in the <Emphasis>Enchiridion</Emphasis>, to ensure the realm of man did not drift apart from the firmament, Halone struck the Nail through both, ever binding the two. And though assailed on all sides by great metal shards fallen from the lesser moon Dalamud's crust, the ancient peak remained standing, a testament to the land's life force.81454False
722162756487963900221800459638165281152The ObservatoriumOverheard at a tavern: "It wasn't what you could call me finest hour. I slipped and fell, and snagged me garments on something-or-another. I was enjoying the sight─till I realized how damned ridiculous I'd look if anyone came upon me. Dusted meself off and went on me way."Three hundred years ago, Ishgardian astrologian Adaunel the Younger convinced the Holy See that he could predict the comings and goings of the Dravanian Horde by studying the movements of the heavens, and thus secured funding for the construction of the First Dicasterial Observatorium of Aetherial and Astrological Phenomena and its grand astroscope.81454False
732162757487964000228001159638165381153The Frozen Fang"From on high, I looked down upon the dread carcass. Ah, to have been the hero who pierced the wyrm's heart with a ballista that day! The mere thought stirred my blood on the coldest of days." Such were the knight's words, and I would see what he saw.In years past, the hot alpine summers would have seen this fallen Dravanian outflyer blown with maggots and reduced to bones in a matter of days. Now, in the endless winter wrought by the Calamity, the carcass rests in the permafrost under a thick blanket of snow, perfectly preserved since the day he was pierced through the heart by a ballista.81454False
74216275848796410022500759638165481154The Holy See of Ishgard"I look upon my homeland, its proud spires soaring in the azure, and swear a silent oath. My spear shall not leave my hand until the last dread wyrm has fallen." Such were the knight's words, and I would see what he saw.For the past thousand years, Ishgard has waged a bloody war with the dragons of Dravania. To fend off the enemy horde, a complex web of defenses, magical and corporeal, has been added piecemeal to the city proper's outer walls, transforming her into an impenetrable bastion, while at the same time, isolating her and her people from the outside world.81454False
7521627594879642002217001759638165581155Boulder Downs"In the shadow of those unholy rocks, the mightiest giant will look as a dwarf. Yet from the right vantage point, even one of humble stature can look upon them all." Such were the knight's words, and I would see as he saw.Before the Calamity, Boulder Downs was a vast sloped lea littered with moraine deposited by realm-swallowing glaciers long receded. The rain of debris that accompanied the fall of Dalamud, however, transformed the landscape into a frozen wasteland pocked with gaping impact craters and peculiar dark matter formations.81454False
762162760487964300221800459638165681156The Fury's Gaze"Dragons, heretics─I've stared into the eye of many a foe. Stone has no eyes, yet no other gaze can pierce me to the very depths of my soul." Such were the knight's words, and I would see as he saw.A place holy to all Ishgardians, it is believed that when a man stands within this hidden grotto, the Fury Herself will reach deep into the darkest recesses of his soul and lay out his sins before him, allowing the man to repent those failings. Monument Tower was built nearby to protect this hallowed ground from the taint of dragons and heretics.81454False
772162761487964400228001159638165781157Snowcloak"As I stood there, my thoughts turned to those left behind in the west. The sun shone strong, yet it could not keep my tears from turning to ice on my cheeks." Such were the researcher's words, and I would see as she saw.The bitter cold which swept over the Coerthas highlands following the Calamity did not only blanket the region in snow and ice, but transformed the water of Twinpools and the Swiftrun into a mountainous flow of ice─a flow which has slowly crept through the western Coerthas highlands and now has completely engulfed Gargoyle Crossing, preventing passage.81454False
7821627624879645002212001659638165881158Camp Dragonhead"Clearing the parapets after a snowfall is arduous work, but gazing out over the hoar-kissed peaks, a man might forget his aches and pains for a while." So were the knight's words, and I would see as he saw.Its name taken from a rocky outcropping said to be the head of a Dravanian king turned to stone by the almighty hand of Halone, this outpost acts as the Coerthas central highlands' southernmost line of defense for the Holy See, tasked with fending off Ixali raids from Natalan, skirmishes by heretic factions, and the occasional yeti scare.81454False
79216276348796460022500759638165981159The Steel VigilOverheard in a tavern: "...Bollocks, I say! Ye haven't truly seen the Vigil until ye've seen it from that very spot. Ye'll be wantin' to tread carefully, mind ye."One of four citadel watchtowers built along the Sea of Clouds, the Steel Vigil warned the Holy See of aerial attacks for centuries before being razed and gutted by the Dravanian Horde and their vile commander, Svara. Now, only the outer walls remain, leaving a bitter reminder of the dragons' destructive power.81454False
8021627644879647002212001659678170181201Castrum Centri"It's unnatural, is what it is─roads and towers made of metal─and yet I couldn't avert my eyes. Then I heard the great steel beast rousing in the distance, and thought I'd best be on my way." Such were the scout's words, and I would see as he saw.Castrum Centri was erected with material salvaged from the ruins of Castrum Novum─the Garlean Empire's first major outpost in Eorzea, constructed in the final year of the Sixth Astral Era by VIIth Legion legatus Nael van Darnus. It houses several ceruleum mining pits, a magitek manufactory, and the Phantom Train, used to transport ordnance to outlying castra.81455False
812162765487964800221800459678170281202The Crystal Tower"It was a scene not of this world: a forest of crystal, and in the distance a spire that stretched so high it could have touched the heavens..." Such were the adventurer's words, and I would see as she saw.As if somehow beckoned forth from its hypogeal prison by the events of the Calamity, this sky-scraping spire now commands the Mor Dhonan horizon. Through their research, the Sons of Saint Coinach have determined that the monolith, also known as Syrcus Tower, was constructed to collect and store the endless energies of the sun.81455False
8221627664879649002212001659678170381203Rathefrost"In fields of crystal, I stood tall atop one of the stones and took in the view in all its shimmering desolation." Such were the adventurer's words, and I would see what he saw.The fall of the <Emphasis>Agrius</Emphasis> into Silvertear Falls not only drained the magnificent multi-tiered lake, but instantly crystallized the majority of the region's flora─a result of mass quantities of ceruleum fuel reacting with aether released upon Midgardsormr's death. What remains is a brilliant, yet dead landscape akin to a twisted garden pocked with blooming geodes.81455False
8321627674879650005217001759678170481204The Keeper of the LakeOverheard in a tavern: "I was an adventurer meself, aye. Till that day when, from atop a tree, I saw that ungodly thing─that twisted mass of metal and scale. Ran from the lake as fast as my legs could carry me. Reckoned I'd be safer livin' the rest of my days out of a bottle."Maintaining a silent vigil over Silvertear Lake, the Keeper is wrought from the wreckage of the imperial flagship, the <Emphasis>Agrius</Emphasis>, and the entangled remains of Midgardsormr. For many religious and mythological enthusiasts, it stands as proof of the existence of the gods. For most people, however, it serves as a grim reminder of the horrific power of Garlemald.81455False
84216276859275585050220008175181251Falcon's NestFrom high atop the western highlands of Coerthas, I looked out upon the realm in all her glory.There I saw a sight that will be sung of for as long as songs are sung.From its humble origins as a lonely cluster of barracks nestled in the mountains of western Coerthas, the village of Falcon's Nest grew and prospered until the Calamity came and the icy winter took its deathly toll. Its name derives from the falconers who reside there with their snow white charges, defending their mountain home from the Dravanian threat.81454False
85216276959275595050220008175281252Camp RiversmeetFrom high atop the western highlands of Coerthas, I looked out upon the realm in all her glory.There I saw a sight that will be sung of for as long as songs are sung.Once a key military outpost for the Ishgardian forces, this strategic location where the waters of the Swiftrun and the Coerthas flow together is home to a lone aetheryte shard, which has stood abandoned in the years since the Calamity.81454False
86216277059275605050220008175381253The Dreaming DragonFrom high atop the western highlands of Coerthas, I looked out upon the realm in all her glory.There I saw a sight that will be sung of for as long as songs are sung.What appears to be an island floating amidst the icy waters of Ashpool is said to have once been a living, breathing dragon─magicked into slumber by the Holy See until ash enveloped its body and its limbs turned nigh unto stone.81454False
87216277159275615050220008175481254The Dusk VigilFrom high atop the western highlands of Coerthas, I looked out upon the realm in all her glory.There I saw a sight that will be sung of for as long as songs are sung.The Calamity was not kind to this once-proud watchtower, from which Ser Yuhelmeric and the brave knights of House Durendaire once stood watch against the encroaching Horde. Since the walls fell and the chill took hold, it has come to be inhabited by all manner of fell beasts, and gods only know what else.81454False
88216277259275625050220008175581255Gorgagne MillsFrom high atop the western highlands of Coerthas, I looked out upon the realm in all her glory.There I saw a sight that will be sung of for as long as songs are sung.Ser Gorgagne was a proud knight and bannerman of House Durendaire, until the fateful day when the heir of that house vanished from sight while under his care, never to be seen again. Devastated by the loss of the boy and his own failing, he put aside his blade and built this farm, where he quietly lived out the rest of his days.81454False
89216277359599335050220008175681256HemlockFrom high atop the western highlands of Coerthas, I looked out upon the realm in all her glory.There I saw a sight that will be sung of for as long as songs are sung.Once a bustling village and home to the woodcutters who plied their trade in the western highlands of Coerthas, this settlement─named for the large evergreens unique to the area─was abandoned when the chill came, and remains a ghost town to this day.81454False
90216277459599365050220008175781257The Bed of BonesFrom high atop the western highlands of Coerthas, I looked out upon the realm in all her glory.There I saw a sight that will be sung of for as long as songs are sung.It remains to be confirmed whether, as the tales say, yetis prefer to slumber atop makeshift bedding fashioned from the remains of their victims─in large part because prominent naturalists have been reluctant to do the fieldwork necessary to corroborate this claim. 81454False
91216277559275635050220008180181301Loth ast GnathFrom high atop the Dravanian forelands, I looked out upon the realm in all her glory.There I saw a sight that will be sung of for as long as songs are sung.Built from a highly viscous blend of Dravanian clay and saliva, the nests of the Gnath are surprisingly stable, able to withstand the harsh elements of the Dravanian forelands.
