City of Nym [Anonymoose]

[CyrilCade]

Thanks to both of you.

That's about as much information I expected to get, but I was hoping there'd be more. Given that Ul'dah and Gridania both had an ancient city or ruined city nearby (Sil'dih and Gelmorra), I was expecting there to be one near Limsa Lominsa, but I wasn't able to find any obvious references. With what you supplied, Nym on Vylbrand fits as the LL analogue.

With Nym being a civilization that prospered during the Fifth Astra Era, what dates do we have related to the establishment of Ul'dah, Gridania, and Limsa Lominsa? What about the establishment/abandonment of Gelmorra and the establishment/destruction of Sil'dih? Do we have enough information to piece together a rough timeline of existences? Nym seems to be the first one described as ancient, with Sil'dih seemingly more recent (due to the co-existance with Ul'dah, though I'm obviously not certain when Ul'dah was established). Where would the rise and fall of Gelmorra be?

Based on the available text and my limited knowledge, it looks like Nym will exist as an ancient city, Gelmorra as an abandoned city, and Sil'dih as a destroyed city. The lack of any references to Nym in the "original" game (references are contained to an End of an Era NPC and the Relic Leve) make it appear as though Nym may not have originally been part of 1.0's lore, which makes me feel like we'll be hearing more about it in the future (compared to Sil'dih, which was mentioned during the Miner quests and Gelmorra, that had a location on the map).

At least, maybe the knowledge of it will extend outside of an NPC that doesn't exist an a Relic Leve!

This the only clue we currently have, but I'm willing to bet my pet mammet that there will be more in ARR.

Fun Fact: We just translated a quest last week which touches upon the Gridanian standard and the TRUE meaning behind the twin snakes. It actually originated fiv-- Uh... The loremaster's giving me the evil eye... I think I'll stop right here...

Sorry I can't divulge any further, but rest assured, more info is coming.
