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]].

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.
