“From the peak of Sohm Al stretch forth the Churning Mists, a vast heaven filled with myriad floating isles, and the ancestral home of moogles and dragons. All throughout can be found the remnants of beautiful buildings and sculptures erected in an ancient era in which man and dragon lived together in harmony.

Aether Currents and Sightseeing Log
Lore
Sohm Al Summit
The sacred summit houses an enormous crystal at its core, and it could be said that the peak of the mountain is its own floating isle.
Moghome
Moghome is a long-forgotten settlement that sits curiously atop Sohm Al, in the heart of the dragons’ demesne. It is said that the moogles forged a pact with the great wyrm Hraesvelgr to allow them to live here in peace.
Eil Tohm
Eil Tohm was a small, sleepy village which Nidhogg razed to the ground after the murder of Ratatoskr. As the dragons tell it, the destruction was so swift that its residents likely did not realize who was attacking them, much less why.
The House of Letters
The thousand-year-old ruins of a tower said to have been built by the hand of man and dragon in the days before the war. Even now, as it crumbles, one can still make out the letters engraved in its walls, which have led the moogles to give it the name by which it is now commonly known.
Monsterie
The moogles have asserted time and again that this structure was called the Monsteric. However, upon close examination of some of the surviving architecture, it appears to be quite similar to that of an Ishgardian cloister.
Landlord Colony
The many dwellings here show evidence of extensive damage, likely the work of a furious Nidhogg following the betrayal of man. The moogles tell that the ruins were once home to the “lords of the lower lands,” although their history was lost in the great wyrm’s wrath.
Asah
An enormous bridge that connects two floating isles, Asah once served as a place of rest for weary travelers making a pilgrimage to Zenith. It is currently being restored by moogles at the behest of Hraesvelgr and his brood.
Four Arms
Four Arms lies within the domain of the great wyrm, Hraesvelgr. It has been said that the reason why the structures remain unmarked by Dravanian claws is out of respect for the wyrm's memory of his beloved Shiva, compelling him to preserve the area in as pristine a condition as it was when she lived. The only other sanctuary in which the architecture remains unraked by dragon claws is Sohr Kai, the shining palace lair of Hraesvelgr's fallen brood-sister, Ratatoskr.
Zenith
A majestic fortress in Hraesvelgr's domain, watched over at the great wyrm's behest by the moogles who make their home in the Churning Mists. Though the years-a thousand of them-have taken their toll, it still stands proud and strong, stirring the hearts of all who lay eyes upon it.
Ohl Tahn
Tahn, the ominous domain of Nidhogg, is not so easily overlooked; this northern enclave of the dread wyrm's brood crackles with aetheric energies that have been amplified by the dragons' rancor.
The Rookery
As the moogles tell it, the place known as the Rookery was once a bustling skyport where wayfarers came and went on the backs of trained wyverns. These days, the buildings remain, but the only dragons in sight are the vicious minions of Nidhogg.
Gron Rhei
In the language of the dragons, Gron Rhei means "trees praying," and it possibly alludes to the beautiful forest that once covered the isle. Nidhogg's brood relegated this scorched land to their lesser cousins, who maintain dominance by killing all who approach, much to the moogles' dismay.
Tharl Oom Khash
Tharl Oom Khash means "crystal from regret" in the dragon tongue, and is likely a reference to the deep purple clusters in which the ruins of the structure are buried. According to Dravanian elders, this was where the great wyrm Ratatoskr was lured into a trap by men and met her end.
Sothton Walls
The remnants of a bulwark south of Tharl Oom Khash, the Sothton Walls were once a shared line of defense for men and dragons against ferocious beasts that would migrate to the Churning Mists with the changing seasons. While the knights regarded this as a solemn duty, the dragons considered it more akin to a recreational sport.
Weston Waters
Named for one of the smaller springs in the Churning Mists, Weston Waters was once a place of leisure for the people who lived near there long ago.
Easton Eyes
The eastern watchtower also served as quarters for knights in the era of peace, from where they would set forth upon the backs of wyverns to patrol and ensure the security of the region.
The Aery
Vicious aetheric storms rage in Nidhogg’s lair, keeping out all those who would dare disturb the great wyrm in his slumber—be it one of years or centuries.
Greensward
Greensward is a memorial to Saint Shiva, the Elezen maiden who strove to build a bridge between man and dragon. Although her life was brief, her sacrifice inspired her people to build a grand memorial to her on the isle, that the peace for which she stood would never be forgotten.
Mother of the Sheave
The Mother of the Sheave is an enormous statue towering over the Churning Mists, carved in the image of Saint Shiva. The saint’s likeness has been somewhat glorified, as it was erected nearly a century after her death, and the great wyrm and his brood contend that the effigy bears no resemblance to the real Shiva.
The Lost Landlord
This colossus stands on an island in Greensward. Its name was bestowed by the moogles, who believe it to be a statue of the “king of the land-dwellers,” though no records remain that could shed light on the identity of this individual, and whether or not he ever truly walked the realm. [1]
