Landmarks

Lilystone

A boulder appearing suddenly upon the Mirror, Lilystone is named for the water flora that sprouts in abundance nearby.

Mirror Plank

A pier built by the fishermen who earn their livelihood on the lake, the Mirror Planks also service logging convoys. Of late, it is where the ferry puts in to take adventurers to their residential districts.

The Tam-Tara Deepcroft

Since its establishment during the Gelmorran times, this subterranean crypt has been used for generations as a final resting place for the remains of rulers and nobles. Since the Calamity, however, the tunnels have become overrun with the Lambs of Dalamud - a deadly cult who worships the now-fallen satellite as their savior. It is in the Deepcroft that these twisted souls silently plot revenge against those who fought to prevent the advent of Dalamud, summoning any dark presence who will aid them to this end... no matter what the cost.

Galvanth's Spire

This watchtower takes its name from Galvanth the Dominator, a ruler during the later days of Gelmorra. Legend has it that he could slay ten Ixal with one thrust of his great polearm.

Everschade (The Guardian Tree)

Having seen over a thousand summers, the Guardian Tree is purportedly the oldest arbor in all the Black Shroud, and home to the great one - an elder elemental who watches and presides over the forest's denizens. The fruit borne by the tree resembles a plum and is sought after across the Three Great Continents for its curative properties.

The Matron's Lethe

As if forgotten by Nophica Herself, one mighty tree root endures upon a sheer cliff created by geological upheavals of the Calamity. As this allows fur passage upwards, the Gridanians have seen it as a blessing, and taken to calling it the Matron's Lethe.
