    • Each previous Astral Era has ended with a Calamity corresponding toone of the six elements─fire, ice, earth, lightning, water, and wind.
    • In Eorzea, length and distance are measured in ilms, fulms, yalms, and malms. There are 12 ilms in a fulm, 3 fulms in a yalm, and 1760 yalms in a malm.
    • It is believed the Miqo'te first came to Eorzea during the Fifth Umbral Era, fleeing their ravaged homeland on the southern continent of Meracydia.
    • The shortest Lalafells are roughly two feet ten inches (34 ilms) tall. By contrast, Roegadyn can grow to almost three times that height (90 ilms).
    • In Eorzea, weight is measured in onzes, ponzes, and tonzes.There are 16 onzes in a ponze and 2000 ponzes in a tonze.
    • Coerthas, once a verdant highland region, is now pounded byrelentless snowstorms─an unforeseen side-effect of the Calamity.
    • Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn came to power after emerging victorious in the Trident─a multi-pronged race used to determine Limsa Lominsa's Admiral.
    • Eorzea is located on Aldenard, one of the Three Great Continents. The other two─Ilsabard and Othard─lie to the north and northeast, respectively.
    • Plainsfolk males─notable Syndicate member Teledji Adeledji included─usually go by their entire full name, rather than first or last name alone.
    • Throughout history, the Lalafell passed their histories down through song,which is why even now many use heavy alliteration in their speech.
    • Peistes, gigantoads, antlings, and vultures are known to lunch on Lalafells,but any rumors involving ravenous Roegadyn are dubious at best.
    • In addition to weather such as rain, snow, and sandstorms, certain areas in Eorzea will experience an umbrally charged fog known as “gloom.”
    • The aitches in certain Miqo'te names represent a slight hissing sound. Since other races cannot make this sound, the aitches become silent.
    • The Great Goobbue Wall of Ul'dah, referenced in “He Who Waited Behind,” was real! It was created by adventurers on the eve of the Calamity.
    • Some Eorzeans believe that after death, souls must endure the trials of six hells before passing into the eternal damnation of the seventh.
    • Beastmen refer to the five races with a variety of colorful titles including 'smoothskin,' 'overdweller,' 'uplander,' and 'spoken ones.'
    • The Keepers of the Moon have a matriarchal society, with surnames passed down from mother to child—some since the First Astral Era.
    • Determining a goblin's gender is as easy as looking at the last two letters of their name: “~ix” for males and “~ox” for females.
    • Inspector extraordinaire Hildebrand's monocle is merely for vanity purposes, and does not actually contain a functional lens.
    • The Syndicate, Ul'dah's ruling body, has six members─six members who also happen to be the six richest citizens in all the sultanate.

    Not too many new info that we already knew, but still a nice condensed version

    It's a shame its not (yet) added in the game.
