==Lore==
Situated midway along the eastern arm of Abalathia’s Spine, this region is characterized by a succession of steep, stony pinnacles which grow in height and density the further south one travels. When overland trade was still profitable, the area was a hub for caravans bound for the Near East.
===The Last Forest===
During their escape from the floodwaters of the Sixth Umbral Calamity, those who hailed from the lush lands of Yafaem and the Black Shroud lamented these trees as the last “forest” they were to see. Considering the sparsity of the growth, the term has been deemed somewhat overgenerous.

====Emprise====
In the past, monks who completed their training at the Temple of the Fist were honored in a ceremony held in this hallowed cloister. Once alive with activity, thronging with monks and pilgrims alike, it was laid to waste at the mad king’s command and is now home to naught but ghosts of the past.

====Grymm & Enid====
Grymm and Enid were a married couple who wandered the mountains for two dawning of the sun as they sought refuge from the great floods. Upon finding water, they fell to their knees to slake their terrible thirst. But they drank too much, too quickly, and perished by the side of the ponds which now bear their names: the larger Grymm, and the smaller Enid.

====Byron’s Bread====
A stonecutter from Ala Gannha, Byron turned his hand to farming when the quarry industry went into decline. Though he hoped merely to provide his family’s daily bread, the dry climate and hard ground defeated him at every turn. The late Byron’s dusty patch of land is now tended by his grandchildren, who struggle to produce a worthy crop in honor of his memory.

====The Ziggurat====
The Sixth Umbral Calamity wreaked havoc upon the realm’s aetherial flow, giving rise to unstable weather patterns. Desiring to correct the disturbance, descendants of the Amdapori and the Mhachi set aside past differences and came together to build the Ziggurat, which served as a weight to still the land’s writhing currents of ether.

====The Carmine Kitchen====
The Qiqirn bandits who scurry about the Ziggurat use this area for meal preparation, splattering the stones with the lurid lifeblood of their captured prey. Rumors abound that the rat-like beastmen will feast on two-legged game just as readily as fowl.

====Ala Gannha====
Situated in the Peaks' northern reaches, this village once flourished through its quarry, the beautiful stone sourced and cut here used to build the royal palace of Ala Mhigo. Such prosperous days, however, have become but a memory, and the villagers are faced with the harsh realities of a failing industry.

===Rustrock===
Taking its name from the land’s predominantly reddish hue, this area was once crowded with stonecutters carving out blocks for building materials. Though quarries were common in the days of the Ala Mhigan monarchy, Rustrock is now overrun with dangerous wildlife and other monstrous denizens.

====Mason's Falls====
Stone quarried from a location further upriver would be lashed securely to a raft before being pushed over this waterfall. Yet it was so long ago when a raft was last dropped that those who know of the practice—and the reason for the falls' name—are dwindling in number every year.

====Heather Falls====
A short distance upriver from Mason’s Falls, this cascade is named for the color of its churning waters' froth—a delicate white reminiscent of heather. The plant in question, unlike the hardy native flowers blanketing the falls' surrounds, would struggle to bloom in the region’s barren soil, however.

====Hidden Tear====
A shrine for honoring the departed, backed by a waterfall whose constant roaring muffles one’s sobs and whose spraying hides one’s tears. Such religious rites were outlawed under imperial rule, and for a long time people could not hold even the simplest services to remember loved ones.

====Sleeping Stones====
This quarry was once worked by Ala Gannhan stonecutters, the rock said to slumber in silence between each clanging shift. Yet now, with none coming to harvest their bounty, the stones may never again awaken to the kiss of pick or chisel.

====The Ephor====
Carved in the likeness of Rhalgr in his arbiter incarnation, this statue seemed ever poised to pass divine judgment. The demonic visage and accusatory finger were destroyed, however, when the Garlean army conducted a purge of all religious iconography.

====Whitherwander====
This winding path was once walked by young men and women seeking to enter the monkhood. It is said that enchanted devices would befuddle those whose concentration wavered, meaning that any unfocused souls would soon lose their way.

====Momoroon's Milk====
Momoroon, the compassionate greatmother, leads the band of blood-crazed Qiqirn which calls this village home. Tales are told of the “milk” the great- mother feeds to her children—a rice gruel tainted with strange medicines said to nurture a brutal temperament.

===Wightrock===
This elevated plateau in the southern reaches of the Peaks was originally known as “Whiterock” for its pale and washed-out colors. Traveling merchants who lost many a companion to the area’s vicious wildlife felt that a reference to the dead was the more apt description.

====Goodblade====
Once the largest caravan waypoint in the region, much of Goodblade was reduced to rubble in the Empire's invasion. Despite its overall ruined state, the chocobo stables and some few other structures yet stand.

====Ala Ghiri====
Situated along the highroad connecting Ala Mhigo to the rest of Aldenard, Ala Ghiri once served as a hub and vital waypoint for overland trade with the east. After the Garlean invasion left the majority of overland routes destroyed, that trade came to focus upon catering to the needs of the occupation force.

====The Scabbard====
According to legend, this wind-carved corridor was used by the Destroyer as a sheath for one of his blades. For the local folk, the passage serves as a convenient shortcut when traveling from Coldhearth to Ala Ghiri.

====Specula Imperatoris====
After claiming Gyr Abania for its own, the Empire erected this monstrous tower in order to maintain watch over the region. A communications spire was later added in preparation for the next phase of the Eorzean invasion, followed by an energy transmitting device for activating the Ultima Weapon.

====The Choler====
Locals claim that drinking the muddy water which pools at the bottom of a certain canyon in Wightrock is to invite immediate death. Upon conducting, an exhaustive study, however, an Ul’dahn alchemist found the lethality of the harmless liquid to be an exaggeration born of folklore.

====The Arms of Meed====
Cleanse your mind, hone your flesh, redeem your soul—so teaches the Fist of Rhalgr. The temple was built in accordance with this belief, that those who have committed wrongs might atone for their sins. Seven years of grueling training, here will earn one the Destroyer’s forgiveness no matter the weight of his crime.

====Nyunkrepf's Hope====
When the Sixth Umbral Calamity befell Eorzea and the realm was transformed into a sea, this great vessel, built by a man hailing far from the north named Nyunkrepf, saved many lives. Having taken aboard countless souls drifting in the floodwaters, it was finally transported by magicks to its current resting place.

===Mount Yorn===
Upon spying a sharply pointed summit from the deck of his flood-tossed ark, Nyunkrepf mistook this craggy formation as the Isle of Yorn. Though the mountain is quite some distance from the island in the Northern Empty, the appellation nevertheless remains to this day.

====Castrum Abania====
This imperial citadel rises from the mountains on the eastern edge of the Peaks. After the Battle of Silvertear Skies, Gaius was not eager to repeat the disastrous fate of the grim, and ordered the construction of a cannon capable of repelling even the most gigantic of adversaries.

====Radiata====
A modest village atop Mount Yorn, this settlement was populated by citizens who had submitted to imperial rule. The village's name is said to be a Garlean word representative of the lines of loyal workers which radiated out towards the nearby Castrum Abania and Specula Imperatoris.

====The Ironroad====
Laid upon the rocky ground to assist with the smooth conveyance of supplies, this metal-clad path stretches between Castrum Abania and Specula Imperatoris. For the native Gyr Abanians, its uniformly dull and black surface was another unsettling reminder of their continued subjugation.

====Coldhearth====
Tucked away in a forgotten corner of the Peaks, this sleepy hamlet is known for producing mercenaries, a tradition that was born out of necessity. With its lands yielding precious little bounty, youths took to leaving hearth and home behind to trade their sword arms for coin, most notable among them being Raubahn Aldynn, the Bull of Ala Mhigo.

==Lore==
===Cloudtop===

Temple Knights are not renowned for their creativity. When they first arrived in the Sea of Clouds and their commander, gazing upon the skies below the floating crags, commented that it was as if they were walking atop the clouds, his subordinates knew at once how to christen their base camp.

====The Protector====

Built by the engineers of the Skysteel Manufactory, the Protector was to be the crown jewel of Ishgard’s fleet, designed to rain down destruction from on high. Unfortunately, several critical systems have suffered repeated failures, and as a result it has been grounded indefinitely for repairs.

====Camp Cloudtop====

Camp Cloudtop is an outpost manned by the Rose Knights of House Haillenarte, who stand watch against Dravanian incursions from atop the floating islets in the sky. The site boasts the Protector, a mighty airship that would avail the Ishgardians greatly in their battle against the Horde were it ever repaired to full strength.

====The Rosehouse====

The Rosehouse is the headquarters of the Rose Knights, who are currently commanded by Lady Laniaitte de Haillenarte. In addition to ensuring the security of Camp Cloudtop, she oversees all military operations in the Sea of Clouds.

===Last step===

A series of unfortunate accidents led to the naming of this knoll as a warning, that misplaced footing on its uneven territory would result in “the last step you ever take,” sending a clumsy man tumbling through the clouds below.

====Ok’ Gundu====

These ruins of the Gundu village are yet another testament to the might of the Vundu, which brought the Gundu to heel and claimed the tribe’s lands as its own. Recently, a handful of Gundu have resisted their subjugation, splintering off to found a new independent roost, Ok’ Gundu Nakki.

===The blue window===

The highest point in the Sea of Clouds, the vegetation which grows on this floating isle is noticeably different from that found in lower altitudes.

====Ok’ Zundu====

Ok Zundu is home to the hearty Zundu tribe, which is only allowed to maintain independence because of the tribute they tithe to the dominant Vundu.

====The Morrowmotes====

A number of Vanu Vanu shamans chose to roost here for the proximity to the white, floating puffs of which they breathe deep to see visions of the future. Botanists theorize that the plants which produce them are related to the cloud mallow of the Churning Mists.

===Voor sian siran===

A spring formed from moisture in the skies accumulated and solidified by the power of water crystals. It is said that the knight who first discovered these ethereal waters shared the story with a wandering minstrel, who declared it to be the legendary paradise of Voor Sian Siran. However, this claim has been met with some skepticism, given the minstrel’s penchant for embellishment.

====The Nidifice====

A nest of great migratory birds that travel with the seasons from the Near East to Eorzea and back again in search of warmer climes. It is here that they lay their eggs, preparing for the journey soon.

===Ok’ vundu===

Abundant are the lands controlled by the expansionist Vundu tribe, spanning myriad islets and multiple altitudes.

====Ok’ Vundu Mok====

A wide plain containing a number of nesting homes of the Vundu, the tribe often boasts Ok’ Vundu Mok as a symbol of their power and influence.

====Hall of the Fallen Plume====

Among the most sacred locations of the Vanu Vanu, this is said to be the spot where a single feather from Bismarck, ruler of the clouds, fell to the surface. In recent years, the elder of the violent Vundu tribe has claimed it as his seat of power, from which he rules with an iron claw.

====Ok’ Vundu Vana====

Roughly translating as “high home of the Vundu,” this village is home to the Vanu Vanu’s aggressive Vundu tribe. Exceedingly proud, the Vundu believe that the voices of those who live highest in the skies will be heard loud and clear by the ruler of the clouds.

====Vundu Ok’ Bendu====

These ruins are all that remain of the village of the eloquent Bendu tribe, who bitterly opposed Vundu subjugation and were ultimately slaughtered in reprisal. In the Vanu tongue, Vundu Ok’ Bendu means “Bendu Under Vundu,” serving both as an indication that the territory has been annexed by the Vundu and as a lasting declaration of their superiority over the extinct tribe.

===Wisent herd===

This grazing ground is the legacy of an attempt to domesticate the wisent of the Sea of Clouds, that the knights might have a self-sustaining supply of meat, milk, and hides. However, the pasture was neglected due to lack of resources, and the beasts turned feral whilst growing in number.

===The gauntlet===

This chain of northern isles is used by young Vanu Vanu warriors as a training ground for their rites of passage, prompting the knights of Cloudtop to give it the name the “Gauntlet.”

====The Shattered Back====

The strong seasonal winds from the north have carved the crags of this floating isle into their unique shapes. The knights of Ishgard called it the Shattered Back for its ominous resemblance to the gnarled rib bones of a great beast.

====Hengy’s Crucible====

This oddly shaped isle, floating in the eastern reaches of the Sea of Clouds, is named for the witch Hengr, a figure of Coerthan faerie tales whose cauldron its shape is said to resemble. In recent years, it has become a gathering place for the notoriously territorial toco tocos.

====Coldwind====

When the Rose Knights first came to the Sea of Clouds and treated with the Zundu, they asked the chieftain what he called this islet floating northwest of Ok’ Zundu, to which he responded “small island beneath which cold winds of Coerthas ever blow.” For the sake of brevity, the knights simply called it Coldwind.

====Mok Oogl Island====

An island whose name, in the tongue of the Vanu Vanu, translates to “a noise heard on high.” On the island stands a monument engraved with a mark of moogle design, but no sign of the creatures themselves, leaving its origins clouded in mystery.

====Provenance====

When Ser Marielle was appointed to the Rose Knights of Camp Cloudtop, she spotted this heart-shaped island atop the deck of her airship bound for post. It reminded the knight of a place of provenance where two lovers would begin their journey together, and the island was named thus.
