FFXIV Dawntrail Lore And Theories for the New Expansion

We attempt to clarify FFXIV Dawntrail Lore. Study the whole lot you want to know forward of the brand new Enlargement.

The latest enlargement for Ultimate Fantasy XIV is true across the nook. Dawntrail guarantees to be the subsequent chapter within the historical past of the critically acclaimed MMORPG and after Endwalker wrapped up its 10-year-long storyline, we’re led to imagine that Dawntrail is nothing however a comfy trip abroad.

However after 6.55 established that we’re collaborating in a contest that’ll have an effect on the way forward for the continent of Tural and the remainder of the Supply, we’re not so positive about that one. So we hit the Lorebooks and listened to some NPC dialog. Right here is the whole lot we all know concerning the New World and little tidbits that is perhaps on to one thing.

FFXIV Dawntrail Lore Defined

Dawntrail is going down within the continent we have beforehand referred to as the New World which is now dubbed Tural. It is the continent to the far west of Eorzea which we’ve been listening to about since 1.0. There’s a lore bit that explains to us that after the Calamity, the Eorzean governments employed Mamool Ja mercenaries from abroad to assist with the rebuilding efforts.

Traditionally, Tural popped up for the primary time within the 12 months 1479 of the Sixth Astral Period have been a Lominsian adventurer referred to as Kentenramm first sailed throughout the Indigo Deep and found this third continent. Beforehand its existence was identified and forgotten however after rediscovering it Limsa Lominsa began constructing mercantile relationships with the Nation of Tural.

This relationship has now lasted over 80 years and introduced Eorzea pleasures such because the Popoto and plenty of different greens and fruits you is perhaps conversant in from the Culunarian quest strains.

Tuliyollal, Tural and its Individuals

The capital of Tural is Tuliyollal and it’s the place the place the two-headed king, the Autarch united the totally different tribes and communities underneath a typical course earlier than or after they made contact with the Eorzeans.

Blue Magic

When you have accomplished or began the Blue Mage questline, you would possibly know that Blue Magic additionally finds its origin within the New World. The artwork was found and refined by the Whalaqee, a few of whom we change into conversant in alongside the eccentric Martyn.

It is the magic artwork of imitating your foes and utilizing their skills in fight. And there’s little to little question that we’ll meet among the practitioners of the artwork.

Ceruleum Hassle?

In a number of of the trailers, we might see massive Ceruleum drilling operations within the northern elements of Tural. Ceruleum is magical gasoline used to energy Airship and was a driving power behind the Magitek Revolution which fueled the Garlean Warmachine. So why are they drilling Ceruleum over there?

There is a comparable facility in Eorzea, present in Northern Thanalan and we all know folks throughout the star have been making use of the substance for varied equipment. This might indicate that some pockets within the New World are way more superior than we’re led to imagine, in spite of everything, there’s a Cyberpunk Metropolis someplace beneath all of it or somebody is promoting it.

In 6.55 we additionally study that one of many sons of the Autarch is planning to invade Eorzea and Ilsabard now that the Garlean Empire has fallen and people drilling operations is perhaps step one in that deliberate invasion.

Answer 9

One of many greatest surprises from the reveal of Dawntrail was the existence of Answer 9. A facility someplace within the New World that appears like Evening Metropolis from Cyberpunk 2077. So what’s up with that?

At the start, it’s a reference to Ultimate Fantasy IX which featured the same facility in its closing act. Which included messed-up experiments on a man with a monkey tail.

There are already some theories floating round that it’s a civilization from Historic Occasions that attempted to outlive the Ultimate Days and is now a ghost city after the sundering occurred. One other concept is that town was constructed within the 2nd Period which pressured humanity underground on account of vulcano’s darkening the skies. That period ultimately got here to an finish after prayers launched mankind to magic which ultimately gave technique to corruption.

For the reason that bigger period round Answer 9 known as Heritage Discovered, we might be coping with one other historical civilization being discovered. We have been coping with the Allagans and their legacy for a greater a part of a decade now and their civilization is just half as outdated if Answer 9 was based throughout and after the second calamity.

There have additionally been theories concerning the zone being related to Omega, as there’s a spot on the world map that appears to point the affect of a meteor. We solely know that Omega got here to the Supply after chasing the Dragon Midgardsormr throughout the universe. However the expertise in Answer 9 appears nothing like Allag or the Omnicron Society which its expertise is predicated on.

That big meteor crater may be the affect zone of no matter introduced the Coronary heart of Sabik and Ultima (The Boss from Orbone Monastery) to the Supply. We all know from the Pandaemonium Raid Sequence that the Coronary heart of Sabik was what turned Athena into the madwoman obsessive about turning into a god.

Cities of Gold

This brings us to the Cities of Gold the participant character and Erenville are on the lookout for what our good buddy Emet-Selch talked about in his closing speech in Endwalker. There we all know subsequent to nothing about solely that they vaguely reference the Cities of Gold from actual historical past.

They have not been plundered but and we all know due to Emet-Selch that they are actual however we will solely muse about their existence. They might be tied to Answer 9 and the Second Calamity or one thing totally else. It might be a relict from a time earlier than the Ultimate Days or just a treasure from a earlier period. However this being Ultimate Fantasy XIV we assume it will be one other reference.

We would prefer to imagine that these Cities of Gold tie into the brand new Alliance Raid collection dubbed Echoes of Vana’diel. There’s a lot to select from right here however it might be concerning the Treasures of Aht Urhgan enlargement of Ultimate Fantasy XI.

In spite of everything, the existence of the brand new Raid Sequence units up the concept that the story of FFXI occurred in XIV not directly form, or kind. We all know that the Miqo’te, Elezen, Hrothgar, and Lalafell all share similarities and ties to their XIV counterparts. However we’ll have to attend till we discover out extra.
