Places of interest[]

Treespeak Stables[]

A chocobo ranch located just outside the Yellow Serpent Gate.

Gelmorra Ruins[]

Finder's Bluff[]

A mining camp set up in the hills southwest of Fallgourd Float.

The Fallen Neurolink[]

This colossal Allagan device fell from Dalamud when it broke apart as Bahamut broke free of his bindings. Measuring hundreds of yalms across, this was one of five such restraints used on the Elder Primal, and now remains permanently embedded in the Black Shroud's landscape.

Ixali Logging Grounds[]

Situated on the shore of Lake Tahtotl, the Ixal continually take lumber from the outskirts of the Black Shroud (and certainly without permission). The lumber is eventually transported via balloncraft to their homeland in the mountains.

Activities[]

Duties[]

The Second Coil of Bahamut - Turn 1.

second coil turn 1
Raid
Level 50
Item level 90
Fallgourd Float (x20 y27)

Your foray into the caverns beneath Castrum Occidens has led you to an unexpected revelation: the incomplete form of Bahamut, harbinger of the Calamity, slumbers deep within earth. Though seemingly a prisoner, the elder primal is gradually being regenerated by the massive, Ragnarok-class internment hulks that surround the unmoving entity. Alisaie reasons that if Bahamut's full restoration is to be prevented, then all three coils sustaining and repairing the dreadful being must be deactivated. Filled with new determination, you assemble a group of courageous comrades and set your sights on the fragment of Dalamud found in the North Shroud.
The Second Coil of Bahamut - Turn 2.

Raid
Level 50

Fallgourd Float (x20 y27)

After battling your way through to the base of the colossal fragment that impales the ground in Alder Springs, your party enters the structure through an opening in its outer shell. The sight that greets you is of an endless procession of azure-lit passages, within which can be glimpsed the grotesque silhouettes of chimerical monstrosities.
The Second Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3.

Your party activates the coil's lift-like mechanism, and, at a depth of 3,256 yalms, arrives within the interior of the internment hulk proper. The great cavern where the elder primal Bahamut dreams is yet many thousands of yalms distant. Explore the labyrinthine passages of the Ragnarok-class starship, and secure a route into the lowest levels of the hulk.
The Second Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4.

Raid
Level 50
