Warrior Lore (Is it a thing?)

[Anonymoose]

This is the first I heard of a southern kingdom being the source of the Galadion.

It's very old data. Thankfully, data preserved on the wiki, so I can cite my sources.

You hear the legend of how this city was born? Well, years ago, there was this mighty kingdom far to the south—so far, they say that it would take a man half his life to sail to her shores—and it had an invincible armada of twenty score times ten unsinkable battleships. They conquered nigh on every city for a thousand leagues, and were the unchallenged master of the sea...until, that is, an armada just as invincible as their own invaded their waters.

Both sides fought with the courage of lions and the ferocity of sharks, but the kingdom's fighters, so used to doing the attacking themselves, were unsure how to defend against onslaughts of a similar nature. And so their fleet was nearly destroyed and their cities were completely razed. Only a small fleet of their fastest dromonds was able to escape the carnage under cover of nightfall. It pained the crews to abandon their lands, of course, but they knew flight was the only way to ensure their people lived on.

And so they sailed and they sailed, until one day a terrible storm--some say sent by Llymlaen herself--picked up the few remaining ships and tossed them down upon the rocks of La Noscea. The ships were too badly damaged to be rebuilt, though by this time the men were weary from their journey, and no longer wished to run. And so they salvaged the remnants of their ships and built a tiny settlement on the rocks. Over time that settlement grew...and transformed into the city you see here today.

Open World NPC (Version 1)

Funny enough, he leaves out the specific name of the Galadion, so lets pull in some less specific stories that make it clear that they're (probably) the same. (Assuming the legend, as told, is true.)

That the city of Limsa Lominsa was built from the wreckage of the mighty Galadion, which ran aground on the rocks of this very bay some seven hundred years past.This tower we stand in now─the Mizzenmast─is called such because it was built by hollowing out the Galadion's actual mizzenmast. That should give ye a good idea of jus' how massive the original ship was.

The Ink Thief (Version 1)

Seven hundred summers and seven hundred winters have we chronicled since our forefathers first arrived in this fertile bay, guided by the good grace of the Mother of Oceans.In that time, the world has looked on in awe as Limsa Lominsa grew from humble fishing village to uncontested ruler of the five seas and beyond. From the Pearl in the East to the Isles of Umber in the West. From the Farreach in the North to the Cieldales in the South. And where the thalassocracy does not command respect, it instills fear. We, friends, are a mighty galleon─the realm our sea to sail.

An Officer and a Wise Man (Version 1)

Opening with a comparison of our city-state to the Galadion that founded it, she went on to petition unity among all citizens in this period of turmoil.
