Endwalker has been incredible for quality of life changes, but would it be possible to please extend the free loot drop at the end of Leveling Dungeons to all old dungeon content (50/60/70/80...

hi there! you can find lore on Gridanian poaching and forestry laws in this post under the "elemental law" section: Elemental Lore

there's not a ton to go on, but I believe the quote you're...

bit late to this one, but I have a lore dump on the Garlond Ironworks in this post:

Why not.

Hi, I'm Sounsyy, probably one of the lesser known loremongers and archivists here that runs the lore index on MirkeMenagerie. Been on the forums since close to the beginning, but nowadays...

This post is in need of some updates, but the short answer is that yes, each of the Spoken races has (or has had in the past) it's own unique language. Some of those languages are never used anymore...

The "Source" Lakeland NPCs are referring to is the First's equivalent body of water to our Silvertear Lake. It gets mentioned in a few places, but here's the only text I found about why it has that...

A bit late to the party, but I've compiled all of the lore I've found on the Near East (including a few references to Corvos) into this post!
Hope this helps, OP!

Compiling lore on the Twelve has actually been a long-term project for me! But I usually only put together posts when there's a demand for them. So far I've done 10 out of the 12, with Halone and...

Late to the party, and there have been a few really great responses in the thread already, but I have a few dedicated posts to the topic that you might find helpful:

Magical & Non-magical Healing...

Ala Mhigo wasn't founded until 1135 6AE. Before Anshelm Cotter unified Gyr Abania, the region was home to various tribes and peoples that warred with one another back and forth since the Flood.
...

Raise does exist in lore and gets brought up. I think the hangup is assuming that per gameplay mechanics, allies whose HP hits 0 are "dead" when (as ObsidianFire mentioned) lore on teleportation...

Game and lore book make it clear that Valnain is a Dalmascan city though, not Nagxian.

There's more talk about this over in this thread~


Capital Y's and V's are very similar in Eorzean, but if you look closely at V's, the downward stroke connects at the very bottom point of...

The Eorzean city-states are... well... city-states. So the name of the city is the name of the state, even if the region or island the state is located on goes by other geographical names. Most of...

Considering Y'shtola is an archon of exegesis (interpretation of ancient texts and languages, most notably scripture) I would personally hope that SE would make a way bigger deal out of Y'shtola's...

While I can't find anything that narrows down Lea Monde's location beyond Greylic's Bend/Golmore Jungle region, we can at least scratch that Valnain isn't the country. It is described as a port city.

As others have said, blindness exists (along with an absolute slew of other injuries, maladies, diseases, and incurable afflictions) with two of the most notable examples of blind characters being...

Lea Monde is somewhere to the southeast of Rabanastre, in "Dalmasca Inferior," which is made up of Greylic's Bend and the Golmore Jungle regions. "Dalmasca Superior" is made up of the Dalmascan...

Dalmasca should say Rabanastre, I'll agree. Though there's likely some mapmaker confusion similar to the Ruby Tide/Sea at play here that I'm sure we'll find out about.

That said, the Valnard Sea...

Something that one of my tumblr followers recently pointed out to me that I had missed:

Antediluvian means pre-Flood or before the flood, usually used in reference to the Biblical flood. So...

That one weird Raen quote from the first lore book about dialects I think is just worded poorly. The second lore book clarifies that while most modern languages are descended from an ancient Allagan...

You can talk to the Wandering Dramaturge at various points in the questline to get this info and more, especially after finishing the follow-up wine quests.

There's a little bit more info on the...

The assumption is that people are named immediately upon their birth or very shortly thereafter. Otherwise the IRL-inspired phrases "naked as your nameday" or "nameday suit" make absolutely no sense....

Whereas the term "birthday" is only used in a singular quest in all of FFXIV (Welcome to the Family), the term "nameday" shows up at least five or six dozen times and as far as I can tell, is used in...

The second lore book goes into a lot more detail on languages and makes it pretty clear that Eorzean and Hingan are completely separate languages. But, it also clarifies that when western traders...
