Idyllshire

Idyllshire is a location in Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward. Founded by a band of treasure hunters and goblin migrants, it is located at the northern edge of the abandoned city of Sharlayan.

Story
In the waning years of the Sixth Astral Era, when Ala Mhigo fell to the Garlean Empire, the scholars of Sharlayan decided to evacuate their settlement in the Dravanian Hinterlands. The entire city was abandoned in a mass exodus to their motherland in the north, leaving behind their buildings and many artifacts.

Over the next fifteen years, the site would attract many treasure hunters to the remote Dravania wilderness in hopes of salvaging the city's relics. This included the nomadic goblins, who for unclear reasons decided to stay. Making an arrangement with other treasure hunters, they founded a settlement called Idyllshire.

During the Main Scenario quests for Heavensward, the Warrior of Light, Alphinaud Leveilleur, and Y'shtola arrived at the hinterlands in search of the latter's mentor, Matoya, who did not participate in the exodus. As a major bridge over the Thaliak River was broken, they tried another path by the arch called the Cenotaph. There they encountered Slowfix, the leader of the settlement. Though initially taken aback by the squatters in the old city of learning, the leader of the treasure hunters, Midnight Dew, cleared up any misunderstanding.

The goblins agreed to let them cross the river in exchange for some favors, including rescuing Brayflox Alltalks from a confrontation with the Illuminati.
