Ishgard Reconstruction [lore]

[Nalien]

Where do we suppose the new zone for this will be?

There's that good old gate next to Durendaire Manor that's totally not for Ishgard Housing. Though the Pillars weren't really damaged at all during the war, from what I can tell... Probably more likely that "No entry" area Hilda stands in front of will see some use? Or any such area in the Brume I suppose... Would certainly be nice to actually explore the Brume in more depth, since the MSQ in Heavensward kind of... Completely brushed over it? Handful of quests, but for the most part I think we spent most of our time in the Pillars...

Would be a nice touch if completion of the Moogle Daily quests brings in some Mogmenders to help out. Come to think of it, I wonder if any Dravanians will kick around the new area? I'd actually love to see some Dragoon lore fleshed out post-Dragonsong War, see them evolve from Dragon Killers, to working together with them...

Still not-so-secretly hoping Dawn Vigil comes into play with all this at some point too. Only Vigil from 1.0 we've not seen return, I imagine it would make for a perfect housing ward location if housing really is the reward for completing the restoration... Could always just rename it to the Firmament and have it be what we're restoring as well, but then that doesn't really feel like an Ishgard Restoration... Now that I think about it though, sending us down into the Brume and calling the area the Firmament? That's kinda... Odd... With a name like that I'm more incline to think it'll be on some floating island (something something Diadem), though again that's not really an Ishgard Restoration, that's building Ishgard a new Hamlet...
