Profile
Edit
On the southern coast of the island of Vylbrand, under the shadow of ancient cliffs worn by the relentless onslaught of the Rhotano Sea, lies the marine city-state of Limsa Lominsa. Said to be blessed by the goddess of navigation, Llymlaen, the city is spread out over countless tiny islands, each connected by sturdy bridges of iron and wood construction, earning her the name the "Navigator's Veil" from traveling bards who have witnessed the city's beauty from afar.
Limsa Lominsa is a traditional thalassocracy, with power lying in the hands of the ruling party and its leader - the Admiral. Its economy is driven by shipbuilding, fishing, and blacksmithing, but the majority of wealth comes from the lucrative shipping industry.
To maintain the safety of its maritime routes, the city employs a formidable navy known as the Knights of the Barracuda. However, even in the waters nearby the city, pirate bands run rampant, raving and pillaging.

LandmarksEdit
MizzenmastEdit
Added by ParaminaMizzenmast castle is built around the remnants of the Galadion, an old legendary battleship, and sits in the middle of the city-state. The bottom level is a fierce citadel, built to fend off invaders in the event of an attack. The middle levels feature a pub and a cozy inn, whilst the uppermost levels serve as offices of the high-ranking thalassocratic officials, including the city-state's leader, the Admiral. Limsa Lominsa's airship landing is also located near the top of the tower.
The OctantEdit
Added by ParaminaThe Octant is a grand outdoor plaza situated just below the Mizzenmast. It is named for its resemblance to the revolutionary nautical instrument invented by marine scientist, "the father of modern navigation", Jovanni Gnonno. The Octant is a popular location during the day, where it is buzzing with visitors and entertainment.
Pharos PolarisEdit
Added by ParaminaPharos Polaris is a tall lighthouse built with the white chalk mined from nearby cliffs, providing safe passage through Galadion Bay. Little is known about the mysterious, pale blue light it emits from its tower.
Hawkers' AlleyEdit
Added by ParaminaMerchants from all over Eorzea and beyond flock to Hawkers' Alley to peddle their tramontane wares.
Guild DistrictsEdit
During the game, the player character must join a guild in order to receive Guildleves decorative cards which each hold a quest for the character to complete. The quests can include anything from hunting a specific monster to item collection or even negotiation with the enemies. The Guildleves can be completed alone or with a party of other players, with everyone being able to reap the benefits of the quest.
The AstaliciaEdit
Added by Paramina- "When choosing a weapon, there are those who would turn their noses up at the axe, believing it too brutish for their delicate sensibilities. Pah! I say to them. I've never known a cloven head to complain."
- —Carvallain de Gorgagne, leader of the Kraken's Arms
The Astalicia is tethered to one of Limsa Limonsa's piers. It is an old warship captained by the lord of the region's underworld, One-eyed Hyllfyr. The ship serves as a gathering place for brigands, cut-throats, assassins and petty thieves. The ship's captain branded her the Marauders' Guild, where many pirate crews look for new recruits.
Fisherman's BottomEdit
Added by Paramina- "O what will it be, served up by the sea
When I cast out the net that my ma made me?
Though the knots that she knit
Are too big for the fish
I'd wager they'd catch me a fine lady!" - —Wawalago Momolago, founder of Wawalago's Pullers
Several independent crews of pullers have united to form small businesses of their own, which can all been found in the Fisherman's Bottom district. The Wawalago's Pullers - one of the largest organizations in the district - have taken the name of Fishermen's Guild, offering instruction to aspiring fishermen and women.
The Drowning WenchEdit
Added by Paramina- "Me da once said, if me ma 'erself was ever t' stand 'twixt 'im and a life o' 'venturin', 'e'd straightways up an' drown th' wench."
- —Baderon Tenfingers, Drowning Wench Proprietor
The Drowning Wench was one a run-down alehouse, before the pub proprietor decided to change the bar and the inn above to the Adventurers' Guild. It is still frequented by many patrons for its old business, but the majority of its custom is now eager adventurers seeking the quickest path to fame and fortune.
Naldiq & Vymelli'sEdit
Added by Paramina- "Live your life in the forges, you're bound to get burned. But let the flames temper your soul, and your will shall become hard as steel"
- —Mimidoa Nanadoa, Adept Blacksmith
Naldiq & Vymelli's was founded by cannonwright Theor Naldiq and shipwright Bryce Vymelli. The establishment's forges usually focus on steel plating and weaponry, but the company has since expanded to basic blades and armor, and to welcome aspiring crafters to their Blacksmith and Armorer's Guild.
Coral TowerEdit
Added by Paramina- "The man who wields a musket is only half the man who wields a blade? Hah! So says the man with a bullet in his belly."
- —Commodore Reyner Hanstred, Knights of the Barracuda
The Coral Tower serves as the official headquarters for the Knight's of the Barracuda. It boasts firing ranges and a fully-equipped barracks, all for officer's training. In an attempt to assist the Thalassocratic Navy's recruitment, and prevent those with promise from being beguiled into joining a pirate crew, the city–state has loosened enlistment regulations and opened the facilities’ doors to almost anyone, using the name Musketeers' Guild to entice willing youths.
The BismarckEdit
Added by Paramina- "Want a place in our cook'ouse, now do ye? Then first prove ye can not only taste with yer yapper, but with yer eyes, yer ears, an' yer 'eart!"
- —Lyngasth Doesfalksyn, Culinarians' Guild Master
The Bismarck is Eorzea's premiere culinary establishment, and welcomes budding chefs to join their guild in order to "climb up gilded steps to gustatory greatness!"
