Snowcloak

Snowcloak is a large glacier in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. A symptom of the upheaval wrought by Bahamut's fury in the Calamity, this enormous ice wall has cut off the western sections of Coerthas.

Seen as a landmark in the far western edge of Coerthas Central Highlands in version 2.0+, its interior will be available for exploration as a dungeon in Patch 2.4.

Story
Before the Calamity, Gargoyle Crossing was a major route connecting Coerthas's Central Highlands to the western highlands. However with the coming of the Seventh Umbral Era, much of Coerthas underwent an extreme ice age that, among other things, led to a huge glacier called "Snowcloak" blocking the route to the west.

Though it cut off settlements to the west, the knights of Ishgard never had the chance to study due to both the dangerous terrain and recent onslaughts of the Dravanian Horde that captured the Steel Vigil and Stone Vigil. Lord Haurchefant suspected it may have unseen depths where the Harriers serving the dragonkin may dwell.
