Limsa Lominsa

Template:Sideicon

No man may tread upon me, for I am the sea.
N'bolata Tyata, 77th Admiral of Limsa Lominsa

Limsa Lominsa (リムサ・ロミンサ, Rimusa Rominsa?) is an independent marine city-state of Eorzea in Final Fantasy XIV. Located on the southern coast of the island Vylbrand, Limsa Lominsa is a bustling port and pirate hideout.

Profile

On the southern coast of the island of Vylbrand, under the shadow of ancient cliffs worn by the relentless onslaught of the Rhotano Sea, lies the marine city-state of Limsa Lominsa. Said to be blessed by the goddess of navigation, Llymlaen, the city is spread out over countless tiny islands, each connected by sturdy bridges of iron and wood construction, earning her the name the "Navigator's Veil" from traveling bards who have witnessed the city's beauty from afar.

Limsa Lominsa is a traditional thalassocracy, with power lying in the hands of the ruling party and its leader—Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn. Its economy is driven by shipbuilding, fishing, and blacksmithing, but the majority of wealth comes from the lucrative shipping industry.

To maintain the safety of its maritime routes, the city employs a formidable navy known as the Knights of the Barracuda, but even in the waters nearby the city, pirate bands run rampant, raving and pillaging. Admiral Merlwyb reinstated The Maelstrom to combine the forces of the Knights, conscripted pirates, and adventurers into a land-and-sea army to combat the Garlean Empire and the encroaching Sahagin of the Indigo Deep.

Following the opening of the city to adventurers, the arts of blacksmithing and armoring can be studied at the joint guildhall here.

Pharos Sirius, the pride of Limsa Lominsa, is yet again in peril. The fine men and women of Naldiq and Vymelli's were restoring the interior when they were taken by surprise by a pack of kobolds and their explosive arsenal. Barely escaping with their lives, the smiths sounded the alarum on the worrying plethora of bombs scattered throughout the lighthouse. Maelstrom Command enlists your aid, but proceed with caution—with one misplaced explosion, Pharos Sirius could be blown to smithereens!

Versions

Version 1.0

Main article: Limsa Lominsa/Legacy

Because of its distance from Ul'dah, Limsa Lominsa swiftly became sparsely populated after the game's launch. Efforts to expand Market Ward access and the addition of airships did little to bring crowds back to the Thalassocracy, making it a quiet, low-lag place to craft until 1.23 brought a new battle activity unique to the area called Skirmish.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn

While all regions have undergone drastic landscape changes, the city-states have remained decidedly untouched. The Aetheryte Crystal has moved from its original plaza to the Octant, and Maelstrom Command (like the other Grand Companies) is now under an open shelter. The entrance to the Market Wards has been converted to the Tempest Gate, leading to Lower La Noscea.

All three city-states now see a fair amount of traffic since the auction system can be accessed from any city, and many players favor Limsa Lominsa as their "home". The access to Limsa Lominsa's market board and retainer's bell is easily found right next to the main Crystal, freeing players a loading screen as opposed to other three cities.
