What do we know about Ishgard? ( Possible Expansion name?)

[Zumi]

Some kind of half human half dragon race who knows thats the vibe I was getting out of it.

[Chitsune]

Some kind of holy knight protecting archbishop? why this remind me of Templars. lol

They did intend to add in a new race, this would be a rather easy way to do it too I suppose.

I do like the ostentatious nature of this sort of story-line.

High-profile religions, corrupted royalty/families, old traditions over new traditions.


S'gon be good.

Not sure if making a Dragon race palayable would be lore friendly, considering they might be partying with Dragoons, or some may want to be Dragoons themselves. They won't even let Dragoons have a wyvern for this reason. But I do think it's a good setting for an expansion.

Personally, i'd hate a dragon race. I'd be okay with some sort of wolf/lion, a canine/feline-esque beastmen race maybe along the lines of the ronso tribe style, that'd be easier to work in I think.

As with all the races in Eorzea, almost all of them 'came to Eorzea' at one point or another, so it's not completley unthinkable to add in a new race that has never set foot in Eorzea before.

But I completely agree, a dragon race wouldn't be lore friendly, unless there was some massive turn of events with the Calamity and even then it'd seem a little odd.

So if a Dragoon rides a Dragon, would he be...destined to kill his own ride? O3o

I agree! The more I read about the Lore of Ishgard the more I can't wait for this expansion to drop! It is as you said going to be really good!

Also, whatever I find in Ishgardian lore I will update the OP to keep it up to date. If there's any lore I haven't mentioned yet let me know!

I HATE how holier-than-thou and and arrogant and blindly zealous all the Ishgardians act. Makes me hate the Elezens when I don't want to :P The part of the main story in Coerthas doing all these chores for the Ishgardian houses was my least favorite part of the game.

I hope we get to rebel against the Holy See and claim Ishgard as a principality shared by Gridania, Ul'Dah, and Limsa Lominsa in the expansion! Let's reveal their religion for the fraud it is! :B

[ErikMynhier]

My gil is on us getting a stealth assassin class/job from Ishgard, from their Faces of Mercy, assassins loyal to his holiness, as in the same way the Sultansworn (Paladins) work for the Sultan in Ul'dah. There will be no dragon race as all the lore points to it most likely being predominately Midlanders and Wildwoods there.

TL;DR.... DRAGOONS PROTECT IT (CAPZ)!!??? yea?
