“This sector is a recreation of the third civilization encountered by Meteion and her sisters. Known collectively as the “Ea,” the entities which reside here have cast off their corporeal shells and endure eternally in purely spiritual form. An awareness of the universe's inevitable end, however, has blighted their immortal gift with existential misery.
Ostrakon Tria is an area in Ultima Thule, The Sea of Stars.
Landmarks
“Here many an Ea is said to have perished, unable to decide whether to embrace oblivion or endure to regain a vessel of flesh.
— Encyclopaedia Eorzea Volume III, p. 148
“Upon discovering that all life in the universe was doomed, some among the Ea came to yearn for an ephemeral existence once more. These traditionalists developed this facility as a means to reclaim their flesh, but as they had long forgotten their original forms, the endeavor ended in failure. Even now, they continue their experiments in hopes of one day fulfilling their dream.
— Encyclopaedia Eorzea Volume III, p. 148
“Etched upon this cluster of stones are the testaments of those Ea who despaired of living and chose to unmake themselves. Many, however, did not leave any words at all, reasoning that it would achieve naught—certainly not the universe's salvation.

Other locations
“A community of those Ea who still cling to their sanity. As the beings are not possessed of corporeal forms, the settlement is completely different from those of creatures of flesh. For instance, rather than houses, they occupy crystals that hold their aether as needed.
