The Gods' Grip

Type: Area
Zone: Lower La Noscea
(La Noscea)

“

Legend has it that the hands of the Wanderer and Navigator shaped this peninsula, which extends along the western shores of Moraby Bay. During the War of the Magi, it was here that the Nymian Royal Marines took an Amdapori host by surprise, and repulsed its attempts to land upon the cape. The conflict has since become known as the Battle of the Gods' Grip.

— In-game description

The Gods' Grip is an area in Lower La Noscea, La Noscea.

The Gods' Grip is an area in Lower La Noscea

Landmarks

Moraby Drydocks

The Moraby Drydocks - main offices of Naldiq & Vymelli's - are presently bustling with shipwrights working to finish the Victory, the first large-scale vessel to be constructed after the Calamity.

Empty Heart

A small spring that bubbles up on the Gods' Grip, Empty Heart's waters are fresh and pure. Such sources are a rarity, and many are the monsters that come to slake their thirst - so many, in fact, that they are known to fight amongst themselves.

The Salt Strand

When struck by a fallen shard from Dalamud's outer shell, a massive amount of concentrated aether was released from just below the surface of the Rhotano Sea, immediately fusing with and crystallising the towering fount of salt water which was expelled during the impact, City-state-funded exploratory forays into the inner crater have all yet to return...

Oschon's Torch

Bearing the Wanderer's name, Oschon's Torch stands on the opposite shore of Moraby Bay from Llymlaen's Ring. Together, the lighhouses alert passing ships to where the bay's jagged coasts lie.

Candlekeep Quay

Originally built for the candlekeep stationed at Oschon's Torch, this quay is also used to unload freight bound for the Moraby Drydocks.

-The Gods' Grip is the southernmost section of [[Lower La Noscea]]. It is located on a small island south of the rest of Lower La Noscea, connected by the bridge Oschon's Embrace. The area used to be the end of a peninsula before the [[The Calamity|Calamity]] broke open a ravine, cutting the Gods' Grip away from the rest. The area contains two ports, with its main importance to the city of [[Limsa Lominsa]] being the shipyard of [[Moraby Drydocks]].

+==={{map icon|settlement}}Moraby Drydocks===
-A bridge connecting the Gods' Grip with the rest of Lower La Noscea. Constructed by the city of [[Limsa Lominsa]] after the Calamity split the land apart. The bridge was begun swiftly due to the importance of Moraby Drydocks, though construction is still ongoing. It is large and sturdy enough to accommodate wagons and large supplies being hauled across for shipbuilding.

 ==={{map icon|landmark}}Empty Heart===
-A freshwater spring which serves as an important water source for the surrounding settlements. Often overtaken by diseased animals, which must then be culled.

 ==={{map icon|landmark}}The Salt Strand===
-A once-normal beach along the southwest coast transformed when directly hit by a portion of [[Bahamut]]'s flames during the [[The Calamity|Calamity]]. The flame and the surrounding water, sand, and rock crystallized, with the flame itself still giving off a glow at night.

-A lighthouse at one of the southernmost points of [[La Noscea]]. Operated by [[Rostnzeh]].
+Bearing the Wanderer's name, Oschon's Torch stands on the opposite shore of Moraby Bay from Llymlaen's Ring. Together, the lighhouses alert passing ships to where the bay's jagged coasts lie.
 ==={{map icon|landmark}}Candlekeep Quay===
-A small port once only used by the candlekeep of Oschon's Torch, this settlement gained wider use after the [[The Calamity|Calamity]] temporarily took Moraby Drydocks out of commission. It has now grown to handle a significant flow of traffic, primarily merchants, tradesmen, and supplies, from Limsa Lominsa to the surrounding areas.
+Originally built for the candlekeep stationed at Oschon's Torch, this quay is also used to unload freight bound for the Moraby Drydocks.
