Unexplored Locations (6.1 to 7.0 Thread) *Spoilers throughout 6.0 as well"

[MikkoAkure]

I like to mention if there is like little bits of land lore I missed let me know, and I'll add onto it.

Not sure if it's worth mentioning, but Abalathia's Spine is the main mountain range of Aldenard and is populated by the Hellguard Roegadyn as well as poor villages of Midlander Hyur. Don't think there's much of a reason for us to go there though since Edda and Avere left there to become adventurers elsewhere and the Hyur settlements never get mentioned again. The Sea of Clouds is in part of it but we just visited it because floating islands are interesting and the devs wanted to show off zones with 3 dimensions and flying.

We're still missing other sections of Aldenard like West Shroud, both sections of Coerthas Lowlands that we got a glimpse of while fighting Gilgamesh, and Coerthas Northern Highlands (where Estinien is from if memory serves). Paglth'an and Xelphatol feel like they got cheap cop outs for squeezing in gigantic swathes of land on the game's home continent with dungeons that quickly become obsolete.

Speaking of dungeons, 2 future possibilities for dungeons inside Eorzea are the missing city-states from the 5th Astral Era. I believe we were told there were 6 but we only know of Mhach, Amdapor, Nym, and Skalla. The Nanawa Mines were a dungeon in 1.0, but now are just zone lines and the whole thing is skipped when you zone between Central Thanalan and Northern Thanalan


In Ilsabard there's some more places that got mentioned like Zetina's Grace and Martrvje in Bozja. Martrvje itself would probably be the de facto capital of Bozja due to Bozja Citadel itself being melted. It is said to be a port city and home to 200,000 people and other than Landis is the unseen city I most want to see.

Mons Falconis is a town in Landis large enough for its own gazette. Mannatheihwo is a city in Landis that used to have an order of Mage Knights. Arnsbeirgs is another settlement in Landis where the Gabranths and Lyon are from and could be the capital.


For Othard, Revenia is a settlement in Dalmasca large enough to have street urchins. Neimrahava and Sal Ghidos are other settlements in Dalmasca that got a passing mention.

And there is a lot of unexplored Doma. The mountains have Raen petty-kingdoms that get alluded to in the NIN questline.

I think the expansion is going to do Corvos (mentioned numerous times in 6.0) and move east towards Rabanastre (because Erenville implied a homecoming and this is a local city to that location) and fill in everything in between.

I'm also going to throw out there that these locations will be in the most chaos because of the collapse of Garlemald and The Final Days.

And assuming that Golbez/Zeromus doesn't end cleanly (an army of voidsent gets out?) (Y'shotla's plan backfires and light from the 1st resurrects Baron with knowledge of shard hoping?), then that swath of land could be in the most hot water.

About to add your things (sorry for the late response), I'll look into the remaining city states of that era, maybe there is a hint somewhere.

RE: lost city states

Half wild guess, but I think Razma said Ivalice was or was built upon antediluvian places, namely Goug (which became the lighthouse) and Lesalia (which became Rabanastre).

There isn’t much information beyond that, unfortunately.

I half guess they might have been their own thing because they are so different- one being extremely mechanical, but it is speculation. I don’t have the encyclopedias/depth of knowledge on the subject, but maybe this points in some direction.

*is summoned by Ivalice talk*

The EE2 section on Dalmasca mentions that Academics haven't yet studied the Royal City of Lesalia (but they wait "for calm to prevail in Dalmasca that they might attempt a more accurate appraisal", which... Ivalice Part 3, please?) but the ruins are indeed ancient (lowercase a). It doesn't mention Goug, oddly, but does mention that the Lighthouse is south of Valnain, and its light reaches Valnain's ports (so, uh, Gougians + Lea Monde? Please?).
