*Potential Spoilers* Ironworks Expeditions

[AlenyaElizabelle]

Ironworks Expeditions function similar to Eureka and Bozjan zones, but the difference ends is that you can use all classes - both War classes and Land classes.

In Eorzea, there are places where we haven't explored, for example what lies beyond Southern Thanalan, or what lies on the other side of Mor Dhona. We all know there's a railway line in the game, in Central Thanalan when leaving Ul'dah and going towards Northern Thanlan. We also get told the Garleans use the railway during Operation Archon during the ARR section of the game.

What if Cid and the Ironworks Engineers put this railway to good use? Air travel is limited, as there aren't good places to land outside of major cities, Boat travel is limited to the shores. But the railway can be a form of mass transit.

Behold... Novus Locomotive MkLVI (Mark 56).
This is the train that will be sending you on these Ironworks Expeditions, but there will be some starting quests. Like testing if Cid's latest creation actually works.

The first expedition quest to a new zone will be called "A Train to Nowhere" as it is an entirely new zone, and you report back to Cid and set up a base of operations in that zone similar to how Eureka / Bozjan is setup. Lets say, there are 5 Zones total, there can be unique monsters to hunt down during FATEs that appear nowhere else in Eorzea, and the quest chain could help for future settlement building where we get more player houses in preparation for the future.

Though one of the quests will be called "A Train to Nowhere", potential quest names could be:

"Scorching Sands, Tumbling Train" where we explore beyond Southern Thanalan.
"Perfect Paradise, Wild Whirlpools" where we explore a picture perfect paradise located between Thanalan and the Shroud.
"Bitter Blizzards, Cooling Coals" where we explore a restoration project to Garlemald to help them get into good graces with us.

And what in the future, Cid and the Ironworks decide to make a railway in Hingashi sometime afterwards? Be good for business.
