01
DHALMEL
Scholars believe that after several millennia of seclusion on the Sea of Clouds, the necks and legs of the antelope-like dhalmel grew so that the creatures might better reach the foliage growing on neighboring isles, or roots jutting from those which passed overheat. Dhalmel femurs and ribs can grow so large, in fact, that many Vanu Vanu tribes have taken to using them in the construction of their great halls.
02
GAGANA
Gagana is a Roc found in The Fringes. A creature of frightening size, their beak sickle-sharp and often strung with the gore of their latest victim. The stunted wings could never lift their bulk, but do not think yourself safe on higher ground-the bird's powerful legs propel them over the largest boulders with ease.
For the Ananta and the M tribe of the Fringes, this flesh-craving terror has proven a constant threat to safety and sanity.
03
Hingashi Culture
Hingashi is a Far Eastern archipelago off the coast of Othard. It is home to the only international port of the Far East, Kugane, after the invasion of the Garlean Empire in nearby Othard. Hingan social structure is largely caste-based, separated between commoners, samurai, and aristocrats. Social mobility is highly uncommon, and social status tends to be inherited rather than earned. Hingan steel is referred to as "tama-hagane” and is culturally significant for its use in creating katanas. ingashi has horses and has martial traditions based on horses. Horse archery is celebrated, with occasional tournaments. Many of Hingashi's material culture is sourced from Yanxia, such as tea.
04
Past & Present
Vases, pottery, urns, and other relics found within the depts of lost and forgotten tombs.
05
Aldenard Culture
The continent of Aldenard is part of the realm known as Eorzea, which comprises it and its surrounding islands. A land bridge connects Aldenard to the continent of Ilsabard to the northeast and Othard to the far east.
It is made up of the following regions; Abalathia's Spine, Coerthas, Dravania, Gyr Abania, Mor Dhona, Thanalan, The Black Shroud. The island of Vylbrand, home to the city-state of Limsa Lominsa, lies just off Aldenard's western coast, separated from the mainland by the Strait of Merlthor.
06
Ingenuity & Ambition
Airships are miracles of the Eorzean skyscape—flying vessels born from the ingenuity and ambition behind the Garlean Empire's most advanced technologies. The airships of the realm's free nations most commonly achieve flight by either one of two means—large balloons of hide and cloth filled with gases less dense than the surrounding air, or wings of magitek making, made to beat by powerful ceruleum—burning engines. Despite whatever technological similarities they may share, however, the realm's vessels are easily distinguishable on sight from the enormous and sinister juggernauts of Garlemald—armored monstrosities designed for the sole purpose of destruction.
07
Susano
Lord of the Revel, summoned by the Kojin tribe in an act of desperation. From the myriad of deities housed within the three sacred treasures of the Kojin, Susano stepped forth to answer their pleas for deliverance. This divinity of the sea sees battle as a celebration, but challengers will find no revelry nor mercy at the edge of his fabled blade, Ame no Murakumo
08
Sophia
History tells of a Meracydian nation comprised of a multitude of races, the foundations of which were built on the worship of a single deity. The "Goddess," as she was simply known, graced the souls of her worshipers with perfect equilibrium, binding their disparate societies in gilded chains of harmony.
09
Diabolos
Diabolos was a powerful voidsent, summoned to Eorzea by the Voidmages of Mhach during the Fifth Astral Era. In the waning days of the era, during the destructive War of the Magi, he was sent to attack the city of Amdapor. He destroyed the city, but the White Mages of Amdapor magically sealed him in the ruins. Thus confined, he slept for the ensuing centuries.
10
Zurvan
Worshiped by a Meracydian race of centaur-like beings, this eikon manifested upon the physical plane as an embodiment of eternal victory. And yet, despite his godlike might, Zurvan was captured. He has languished in his Allagan-made prison now for five thousand years, his primal desire for justice swelling in magnitude with each passing millennium
11
alexander
An expertly crafted replica of a structure that has stood steady against the flow of the Thaliak River. Now, the Illuminati have summoned a primal around this rusting ruin─a terrible colossus of steam and metal. Steel screamed against steel when it rose from the waters, and it drank deep of the land's aether before grinding again to a halt. The voices of Idyllshire cry out, asking for aid ere their homes are crushed under the weight of iron.
12
Lakshmi
Lady of bliss
In the beginning, the nascent world was a storm of chaos. All who lived upon it were frenzied and wild, and brought only harm to each other in the struggle for survival. Filled with despair of this wretched sight, Sri Lakshmi, The Lady of Bliss, took up handfuls of clay and sculpted a figure in Her own image. Unto this figure She breathed life and will, and of Her gentle touch was born first of the Ananta. From Her beauty did emerge beauty; by Her providence was a command over earth imparted.
13
Land & Sea
The sheer size of these jawbones adds credit to rumors that megalodons enjoy feeding on unwary swimmers and will swallow them whole so as not to saturate the surrounding waters with blood, thereby alerting other nearby predators.
A pipe box of Far Eastern design, complete with an ashtray and compartments for several varieties of tobacco.
This aetherially infused wavekin gathers rather a lot of unwanted attention, and it has no natural defenses to fend off curious predators.
13
ixion trophy
Ask any Gyr Abanian youth, and she will tell you the story of Ixion, Rhalgr's magnificent steed─swift as a levinbolt and strong as thunderclap. However, the recent discovery of several ancient Mhachi texts suggests that the creature may simply be a stallion augmented by ancient technologies that have granted Ixion life eternal...and the ability to shoot lightning from its eyes.
13
Sapphire Weapon
Sapphire Weapon is a Garlean superweapon developed by the lingering remnants of the VIIth Imperial Legion from reverse engineering the Ultima Weapon and incorporating both an aquatic Primal and the data of Regula Van Hydrus into its mainframe.
14
eternal darkness
Though it does not possess any arcane properties, it certainly looks the part.
17
divine light
A somewhat abstract imagining of the god of Light. Perhaps it is best to give it a wide berth to avoid snagging one's clothing─and eyes─on the featherlike projections.
