Final Fantasy 14: The History Of Limsa Lominsa

gamerant.com:

Limsa Lominsa is one of the starting city-states in Final Fantasy 14, one that is built by the sea and serves as a major port for Eorzea. Most players think of Limas Lominsa as a city that is easy to get lost in and a place where it is hard to understand NPCs in their thick dialects. There is much more to the city though, especially in terms of lore and history.

The founders of Limsa Lominsa hailed from the Roegadyn's homeland, the island of Aerslaent. It was in 874 during the Sixth Astral Era, with a crew on a ship called the Galadion. This crew of Sea Wolves had to set sail after failing a coup d'etat against a tyrant. It was from here that the first steps forwards founding Limsa Lominsa were taken.

On their journey, with the Galadion commanded by Admiral Elilwaen, the Sea Wolves saved a group of Elezen explorers from being shipwrecked in a storm. Thankful for the rescue, the Elezens told the crew about a safe place where they would be safe from the tyrannical king they sought to escape from. This safe place was an island far south. After journeying to this south island, the crew determined that the soil was fertile and worth building upon. They built a little village and called it La Noscea.

This little village was not lived in long, as the crew had to abandon it when attacked by kobolds. They returned to their ship, the Galadion, and determined that they could not build inland for fear of being attacked by beast tribes. So instead of building outwards, the crew built upwards in the bay. This created the unique buildings and decks of Limsa Lominsa that are easy for players to get lost in.

However, the Lominsans never gave up expanding
