Barrier alike thing in Mor Dhona

I've been looking around for a while and noticed this "barrier" north of revenant's toll.

I figured it'd be coil but that wouldn't be possible as it's in eastern noscea. Does any of you have a clue what it might be? Is it linked to anything at all?

Isn't that the Dalamud crash site?

Hmm..
Could be possible, noticed the spike that fell out of dalamud right there

Spoiler Ish


There is three crash sites for dalamuds meteor, all are linked which lead to the binding coils of bahamut and its very likely those other two will also be entrances in the future. (my assumption is turn 6-10 at one and turn 11-15 at another).

The other two are in Burning Wall (Thanalan) and Boulder Downs (Coerthas) though which would imply this is something else.

OP I've seen this thing before but not really thought about it. The dome appears to be made of crystal though which suggests it's part of the aether explosion that devastated Mor Dhona (and created the Crystal Tower) after Dalamud's fall. I'd guess they plan to explain it at some point.

I always thought that is was a small leftover part of Dalamud itself. I mean part of the shell that kept Bahamut inside and landed on Mor d'hona. It did happen in mor d'hona after all. So I wouldn't be surprised if there was a very small part of the outer shell that remained intact.

It's that or again, just the impact of the explosion that froze itself like any other impacts suggest.

I think its Dalamud. I mean the spike/sword there that landed there in the battle of Cartanau also as seen in the end of an era video. It stops the battle and Bahamoth comes out and Dalamud crash upon the spike.

There's actually many more impact sites of pieces of Dalamud or crystallised aether scattered around the world, although the Burning Wall (Eastern Thanalan), Boulder Downs (Coerthas) and Agelyss Wise (Eastern La Noscea) are the three most well known, there are some similar yet smaller impact sites, like the Salt Strand near Moraby Bay in Lower La Noscea, the appropriately named Dalamud's Talons in Northern Thanalan, and the obvious chunk of crystal sticking out of the Pharos Sirus on the Isles of Umbra in Western La Noscea.

There are also at least two big chunks of Dalamud seen which haven't seemed to have caused a mass of aether to crystallize into weird shapes - the well known chunk near Fallgourd Float in the North Shroud, and the Frozen Nail near the Observatorium in Coerthas. There's probably other chunks found in other areas too, but these are the ones I'm aware of.

Finally, there are several crater like objects with crystalline elements which can be seen in the distance in some areas, but can't be visited yet - one of these is offshore near Limsa Lominsa (during the beta it was believed the be the location of the PvP arena), and two are in the Black Shroud, one near Camp Tranquil in the South Shroud to the west, and another seen in the distance in the Central Shroud near the Spriggan Dig in the Standing Corses.

What these strange places could be is anyone's guess, but I'd say there's a very strong chance they too were caused by Dalamud's impact and Bahamut's rampage. But I guess we'll see.

Thanks for this, I had no idea just how many impact sites there were. With regards to the Burning Wall and Boulder Downs though these two both have planned entrances already prepared for future coil additions (or potentially some other dungeon).

In the Burning Wall there is an opening in the fragment of Dalamud with a path that runs right into it. The path is even shown on the map despite currently being blocked off by a piece of crystal.

In the Boulder Downs there is a cavern entrance that begins to run down into the rubble but that too is currently blocked off.

I haven't seen anything like this at any of the other impact sites which is why I assume they're the future coil entrances.

Thinking about that dome again though... it's half a sphere of crystallized aether. Louisoix summoned a rather large spehere of aether to attempt to imprison Bahamut again. Could it be the remnants of the failed attempt having crystallized afterwards instead of simply disappearing? It does appear to have landed around the Cartenau area and it wouldn't be Dalamud itself since we saw it completely explode into thousands of pieces.

Out Of Bound PoV for those interested.
