FFXIV Lore: Ishgard

Final Fantasy XIV Lore: Ishgard A Compilation and Roleplayer’s Resource. This document contains my interpretation of lore I have found relating to Ishgard and Coerthas in the video game Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, Heavensward, Stormblood, and affiliated materials. I compiled this informat...

BEHOLD: a 118-page compilation of (almost) every scrap of lore about Ishgard I could find – its social organization, history, religious beliefs, and culture.

Every piece of lore is sourced with a footnote in order to make it easy to look up – and to tell canon from my informed inferences and wild speculations. This makes the doc a little heavy and slow to load; my apologies! To look up a topic of interest, I recommend giving it a second to load, then using Ctrl+F to search.

Don’t feel shy about getting in touch with comments and corrections! If you have a question about Ishgard that isn’t answered in the doc…… I probably don’t know the answer, since I’ve put everything I know in there, but I’m always happy to theorize!

🐇- For a secret item they keep (stuffed animal, comfort object, etc)

"They are a pair of gloves. Black leather, a bit worn, near worn through at some of the knuckles in all honesty. He forgot them one morning before... everything. I had set them out. 'Must remember to return them,' I told myself. They were nothing fancy, but they were his favorite pair. I forgot them, and then when I was hurt neither of us thought of them. He left without them again. I remember waking to the sight of them on the dresser and reminding myself that I must make sure he got them back. But then no word came. And as the silence stretched for days I remember that in my fevered thinking I was sure that nothing could have happened, that he would have to come back for his gloves. But of course he never did. He never will. I keep them tucked away in a box now, at the back of the drawer. But sometimes I get them out just to hold them for a little while and remember the shape of the hands that used to fill them."

Pixie Naming Conventions

Runes together also have different meanings. For example:

Feo means a treasure, while Ul means moon. Therefore Feo Ul should mean “a treasure beneath the moon”.

Bonus:

Tyr is the Norse god of justice, he is also a warrior (as most Norse gods are). So Sigun (light) Tyr (warrior), or the Warrior of Light, and Ul (darkness) Tyr (warrior), or the Warrior of Darkness.

A Treatise on Runes is one of the books from the sidequest Bewitched Books and the rest are from another sidequest called What’s in a Name. Both are in Il Mheg!

Edit: I decided I was going to add a list of the known runes at the end of this post as well!
