Landmarks
“This structure is known as the foregate of Elpis, and houses a teleportation device bound to the main metropolises. Similar facilities were said to be found not only in Amaurot, but in every single region of the ancient world.
— Encyclopaedia Eorzea Volume III, p. 146
“A small island welcomes visitors descending the stairs from Propylaion, its fluttering inhabitants offering a first taste of the creative marvels which await them in the environs beyond.
— Encyclopaedia Eorzea Volume III, p. 146
“A lone tree grows on this small isle found in the southwest of Philomythes Notos, the species of its blossoms said to vary depending on the season and ambient aether conditions. Planted soon after Elpis was constructed, its ephemeral beauty convinced researchers to allow it to grow long after they had concluded their observations.
— Encyclopaedia Eorzea Volume III, p. 146
“The researchers of this small facility are unlike their colleagues in that they seek to manifest new creations without the aid of creation magicks. Their natural breeding program pairs creatures with differing characteristics, relying purely on chance to conceive heretofore unimagined possibilities.
“No research is conducted on this isle where observers come to sit and read, or simply stretch out on the warm flagstones. Situated in the east of Philomythes Notos, the aether-rich winds blowing over from Lethe also attract familiars seeking to restore their flagging spirits.
— Encyclopædia Eorzea Volume III, p. 146
Other locations
“Named for an ancient word meaning “recognition” or “discovery,” this settlement houses those whose job it is to assess the creations admitted to Ktisis Hyperboreia. These observers study every aspect of their charges, and determine if a concept will add to─or detract from─the environ for which it was designed.
