I did wonder who the sildihns were when i read about it in the localization section on fawks lalafell names stuff. Now i know =D

It's interesting you bring up Sil'dih. I ran across an NPC in the conjurer's guild that spoke of a city beneath Gridania too. It was not Sil'dih that was referred to, but it seems they share a common trait.

Both appear to be ruins beneath these current cities.
Maybe there is something more to these?
I now wonder if anyone in Limsa speaks of a city buried under Limsa Lominsa.

The only thing I can think of is that, if I recall correctly, the Mizzenmast Inn (along with much of Limsa) is the remains of an incredibly large ship that landed there. I don't remember what became of the ship or why it eventually became part of the city though.

Given that Limsa is the remains of the largest ship ever that crashed into the shore, Probably not, unless you count perchance part of the ship underwater or something like that. Though I do wonder what they;er going to do about our big sea monster friend in the Limsa opening Cinematic,,

The ship didn't become part of the city, the ship is the city.

Legend holds that Limsa Lominsa was founded shortly after the remnants of a giant armada fled from its homeland following a crushing defeat. Llymlaen is said to have taken pity on the plight of these brave sailors, and guided them to the shallows of a rocky bay where their ships were grounded upon the sharp rocks. With no home to return to, the sailors chose to settle in this newly-found land, and use the remnants of their vessels to begin construction of a city.

However, the sailors never forget their nautical backgrounds, and once a new fleet was in order, they would take to the waters again. It was only a matter of time before their influence spread and they ruled the five seas of Eorzea. Thus, the Limsan thalassocracy was born.

Remnants of this legend live on even today in the nation's ruling party, whose members still address their leader as Admiral.

It's been mentioned a few times, you actually got to visit a part of the Sil'dih aqueducts in one of the Umbral Era events a while back.

The Monk quests has some information on the lore of Sil'dih also.

I am hoping in 2.0 or later with an expansion they unearth it as a dungeon, the story is that the King of Sil'dah turned his subjects into zombies and undead to win the war against Ul'dah which subsequently failed, so it could certainly make for an interesting dungeon.

I think that was sort of their original plan with the whole "echo" thing, but I'm not sure if they're sticking with that or not.

Yoshi confirmed a while back that Echo will be making a come back in 2.0 as will the companions.
