Sharlayan Being Attacked

[SirEdeonX]

So, I was exploring Mor Dhona when I arrived at Camp Brittlebark. When I talked to the NPC Thomas, he said:

"The city of Sharlayan is no more. The lakebeds are drying up, the skies are cleaved by flying monstrosities of steel... The end is nigh, friend."

So, what do you think it means?
Do you think it means the empire is actually beginning his assault on Sharlayan?
Or do you think it has something to do with the opening? The reason why the dragons were defending the land agains the dreadnought?

The place where the battle in the CG intro is most definitely Mor Dhona, what with all the crystals/aetheryte scattered across the land, as well as the fact that in the middle of the lake is The Keeper(which is Bahamut) twisted around the airship that he took down in the battle(which took place from 10-15 years prior). The land in Mor Dhona is currently ruined due to the final "breath" of Bahamut, from which the physical manifestations of the other primals were brought forth.

The only city attacked by the Garlean Empire that we know of thus far is Ala Mhigo, which was the strongest of the Eorzean city-states. For reasons unknown(most likely due to their fleet's defeat at the hands of the dragons), the Garleans halted their assault after securing Silvertear Falls, which is apparently a valuable crystal vein, and have been doing nothing but spying on and spreading propaganda throughout Eorzea with their airships that you see flying around every so often.

Sharlayan is on the far west side of Adlenard near Dravania, the Farreach, and Abalathia's Spine. Chances are that there may have been conflict between them and the dragons, however the way Y'Shtola speaks about it in the Limsa plotline, it seems like there was more to the destruction of Sharlayan. As far as we know, the Garleans haven't made it that far yet.


Anyway there's a whole thread on all this stuff, so look it up if you want more plot clarification.

Would you happen to have a link to that thread by any chance?

Right here.

People have mentioned a lot about it.

You're the first person in this thread to spell the name right. I know it's hard to read that damn Eorzean font, but it in in fact Dravania, not Dravonia.

Sorry for being anal about it, but the Grammar Nazi in me came out and I thought I'd step in and set it straight, haha.

Sharlayan is a city on the opposite side of the continent from Ala Mihgo, in the region of Dravonia.

We don't really have any information on it..

maybe ishard tech. Maybe the start of the intro was around that city and the guy got flown to mor dhon. There is a image of a dragon over that location. And dravonia kinda sounds like a dragon location.
