Jagd
In Ivalice, there are areas where airships cannot travel because the mist in the atmosphere is extremely unstable, or because magicite in the ground disrupts the buoyancy of skystones. These regions are called Jagd.
Some lands have been Jagd since ancient times, but there are also cases where changes in mist conditions, caused by some unknown factor, suddenly turn previously navigable areas into Jagd. (example: Nabudis)
Because airships cannot be used there, making the transport of people and goods difficult, many nations have given up trying to control Jagd regions. As a result, most Jagd have become lawless zones dominated by violent monsters and beastmen.
<- Depending on the Jagd, not only skystones but all mist-powered engines such as Glossair engines, can be affected.
-> The Archadian Empire is using every bit of its technological capability to develop Jagd-compatible skystones.
