Gridania Vs. Ishagard. Who won?

[Holy_Dragoon]

Azurymber, I'm going to speculate a bit based on what I do know. I believe that Gridania currently keeps Ishgard at bay. However this isn't entirely Gridania's doing, it is more the Elementals and the Wood itself keeping the peace. From what I understand, Ishgard has angered the Elementals on previous occasions, and felt their wrath. This could be the tragedy you speak of. Without knowing the archer line myself, I can't give you more to go on.

I've talked to almost every single NPC in the game, if not all of them. The only NPCs I know I missed are a couple here and there in some of the class quests while I was recording (for time issues) and the starting city quests for each nation.

With that being said, I have completed all the Archer Quests and must have missed the one NPC that spoke of the Gridanians and the Ishgardians having problems between one another in the past, considering how noble and law abiding both nations are compared to the other city states.

Dragonfall I might have heard of once before, but I know little to nothing of it. It sounds like Dragonfall is/was either a camp or a landmark in Eorzea, or even a description of what the battle consisted of.

Ishgardians and Gridanians both believe that one should not take a life of another, unless given just reasoning behind an offensive action against another individual. They both are friendly to one another to this day and welcome one another into each others region and city hamlets whenever.

I'll have to check out some stuff and see what the whole story is about, but from the content we have in the game so far... I 100% doubt there is anything that will completely describe what this event is all about and anything else into details.

It is a bit of a standstill because Ishguard is full of QQers with guns and heavy machinery while Grid is full of kick*** mages and lancers that like to "and suddenly" from trees, but they can't do much when the trees are being burned by the awesome power of Apollo, the controller of all evil fire elementals.

Gridania or Ishagard... Really?... it was the Subligans from Subligania that won the war.

We are like ninja's we fight in the shadow to get the job done... except we love showing off our naked muscular bodies in tight subligars in our daily lives...

Forgiven.
Every single one of us went through that stage.

Oh really then im the odd one out clearly! ^_^

Unfortunately Azurymber I think you've come to the wrong place for your answers. Most people here are only interested in bitching and moaning about the game which many of don't even bother to play any more. Most of those who do remain are more interested in being able to jump than they are in the lore of the game.

I'm glad you're still enjoying it and hope you continue to untainted by those attempting to bring other down to their level of misery.

I hope you can find the answers you're looking for ingame as you continue to explore the world of Eorzea.

you are awesome! no really you should come to our server ^_^

BUT i agree with what Holy Dragoon said.

Considering that both nations still exist rather unscathed I would assume they met some terrible tragedy in this battle where both sides took massive losses. Perhaps the name Dragonfall would hint at both sides being attacked by dragons and decimated.

Hell Ishguard is still fighting the dragons off to this day.

This would explain and account for the majority of the events surround the Conjurer missions.

This is the only MMORPG that im actually interested in the story! Im curious what the lore is behind Ishgard and everywhere else, I hope they release an expansion soon that dives into it all.
