With the leaked Japanese magazine images just a mere day old, the site update was inevitable – and here it is! New background information is revealed about the two other starting city-states – Ul’dah and Gridania.
Ul’dah:
“The bustling commercial hub of Ul’dah sits amid the desolate desert landscape of southern Aldenard. The city is organized strategically around the dome-shaped citadel at its center. Its towering fortifications and protective outer walls are visible for malms in all directions, and serve as a stark deterrent to would-be besiegers.
Visitors from every corner of Eorzea come to Ul’dah to partake of the city’s famed recreation, most notably the fighting arenas and gambling halls. Ul’dahn culture is known for its affluence, and the wealth of the nation comes in large part from its abundant mineral resources and prestigious clothcrafting industry.
Historically, it is the sultan who claims sovereignty over Ul’dah, but true power is wielded by the Syndicate, an elite group of six of the most influential and richest members of society. Nald’thal is the patron deity of the city, and two great halls, devoted to his two aspects, can be found in the eastern and western sections of the city.”
Gridania:
“In the eastern reaches of the Aldenard landmass, home to vast, dense woodlands and coursing rivers, lies the forest nation of Gridania. The cityscape is a mosaic of labyrinthine waterways and great wooden structures, so gracefully constructed they seem a part of the surrounding environment.
The Gridanian emphasis on natural harmony has led to its preeminence among Eorzea’s city-states in trades such as forrestry, agriculture, carpentry, and leatherworking. Gridania is also home to the Wood waileers, a militant band of polearm-wielding sentries charged with the protection of their homeland.
The favored goddess of the citizenry is Nophica, the Matron, but great faith is also placed in the wisdom of the Seedseers – your oracles who guided the nation based on the will of the forest’s elementals.”
So that is the new revealed text, but we are also treated to the Limsa Lominsa seal (shown right) and a detailed world map (below).
Square Enix decided to reveal information about a number of the various Landmarks and Guilds within the confines of Limsa Lominsa – and what better way than to explore the new information than in the wiki – the repository of all that was, is, and will be inside of Eorzea.
