FFXIV Lore: Ishgard

hasty-touch:

BEHOLD: a 118-page compilation of (almost) every scrap of lore about Ishgard I could find – its social organization, history, religious beliefs, and culture.

Every piece of lore is sourced with a footnote in order to make it easy to look up – and to tell canon from my informed inferences and wild speculations. This makes the doc a little heavy and slow to load; my apologies! To look up a topic of interest, I recommend giving it a second to load, then using Ctrl+F to search.

Don’t feel shy about getting in touch with comments and corrections! If you have a question about Ishgard that isn’t answered in the doc…… I probably don’t know the answer, since I’ve put everything I know in there, but I’m always happy to theorize!

It’s here!!! Thank you so much for putting so much time into this!!!

FFXIV Lore: Ishgard

rpmusings-galore:


                          two shattered souls

                     both have been through hell

        in the mirror, they each see only something 

                          broken beyond loving… 

               something too scarred to be worthy

                                   but, when they look at each other? 

                                     all they can see is something precious 

                                   a beauty, unmarred by the toil they’ve felt 

                               a golden heart, pure and deserving of so much 

                     more than this world that dragged them in and spat them out

                                                      still   s h i n i n g

A young soldier born and raised during the imperial occupation of Ala Mhigo, Fordola was promised the world─education, training, citizenship─in exchange for service. Scorned as traitors by their people and savages by their Garlean masters, she and others like her struggle to forge their own path in an unforgiving world.
