Ark (Lightning Returns)

a location from a game

The Ark is a location in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. It was built by Hope Estheim inside Bhunivelze, his new Cocoon. According to a recent interview in Famitsu, it is a timeless zone that Lightning can rest in. She also receives quests there from Hope. The location is key to prolonging the life of the world: inside the Ark is Yggdrasil a "holy tree of life", and completing quests in Nova Chrysalia gives strength to the tree and enables it to prolong the life of the world.
