Thread: 8.0 and World

It could also give some focus on Duskwight which are rarely referenced in the game.

Could also be connected to the abyss seen across the lands. In the Lancer quests, the npc Foulques falls into the North Shroud's abyss, and can be later seen as a random undead encounter in the Palace of the Dead.

I agree that the Black Shroud has been getting way too little attention, and that the devs could easily make an expansion out if it if they really wanted to.
Reconnecting with Eorzea should be on the agenda someday anyway imo.

6.X has the beginnings of how to resolve that issue without requiring a rejoining.
