Eorzea -> Limsa Lominsa
"No man may tread upon me, for I am the sea."

-77th admiral of Limsa Lominsa, N'bolata Tyata

Limsa Lominsa is one of three city-states in Eorzea including Gridania and Ul'Dah. It is located off the island of Vylbrand and rests upon cliffs carved by the Rhotano sea. Limsa Lominsa is spread out over countless small islands connected by Ivory Bridges. The city is referred to by traveling bards as "Navigator's Veil" because of its brilliant appearance from afar. Limsa Lominsa is also known to be a bustling port, and a known pirate hub.

LORE

Legend holds that Limsa Lominsa was founded shortly after the remnants of a giant armada fled its homeland following a crushing defeat. Llymlaen is said to have taken pity on the plight of these brave sailors, and guided them to the shallows of a rocky bay where their ships were grounded upon the sharp rocks. With no home to return to, the sailors chose to settle in this newly-found land, and used the remnants of their vessels to begin construction of a city.

However, the sailors never forgot their nautical backgrounds, and once a new fleet was in order, they would take to the waters again. It was only a matter of time before their influence had spread and they ruled the five seas of Eorzea. Thus the Limsan thalassocracy was born.

Remnants of this legend live on even today in the nation's ruling party, whose members still address their leader as Admiral.

While fishing and shipbuilding are prominent, a majority of the city's wealth comes from the shipping industry, with over half of the city's population being employed in logistics. To maintain shipping routes, the thalassocracy employs a powerful navy known as the Knights of the Barracuda, who patrol the Eorzean seas, ensuring safe passage for all those who do business with the nation.

However, even in the waters nearby the city, pirate bands run rampant, reaving and pillaging, leading neighboring nations to suspect that the Knights of the Barracuda and the local bandits are in some way working together to profit off of unwary traders.
