“Long ago, in the dawn of the Fifth Astral Era, the modest nation of Skalla was founded in the land of Gyr Abania. Over the span of several centuries, its people constructed a grand city of stone at the bottom of a steep-walled ravine, but even this natural defense could not protect Skalla from destruction during a terrible age of war. When the great flood of the Sixth Umbral Calamity later swept across the realm, the hollow ruins of the city were lost to sight, its remnants submerged beneath a raging sea.
Haunting the depths of what is now Loch Seld, Skalla's silent walls lure adventurers into the salt-laden waters with the promise of mysteries unsolved and treasures unclaimed.— In-game description
The Drowned City of Skalla is a level 70 dungeon introduced in patch 4.1 with Stormblood.

Lore
Remnants Of The Fifth Astral Era
Long ago, in the dawn of the Fifth Astral Era, the modest nation of Skalla was founded in the land of Gyr Abania. Over the span of several centuries, its people constructed a grand city of stone at the bottom of a steep-walled ravine, but even this natural defense could not protect Skalla from destruction during a terrible age of war. When the great flood of the Sixth Umbral Calamity later swept across the realm, the hollow ruins of the city were lost to sight, its remnants submerged beneath a raging sea.
Over a thousand years later, the city of Ala Mhigo would be built atop Skalla’s forgotten grave in the salt-laden depths of Loch Seld. Yet some few remembered, among them the last king of Ala Mhigo, Theodoric. Towards the end of his brutal reign, growing ever more paranoid over imagined threats to his crown, he had his own family members imprisoned on invented charges. Their wealth was seized and hidden away within the ruins of Skalla, while they themselves were put to guarding it—as abominations transformed by court thaumaturges.
These dark truths were brought to light following Ala Mhigo’s liberation, in the course of an investigation by the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. Braving the horrors that lurked Skalla’s crumbling halls, they discovered a veritable mountain of riches: the mad kings legendary trove. In a heartwarming tale with which no few readers will already be familiar, the treasure was placed in the hands of Ala Mhigo’s interim government to be used to rebuild the nation and provide relief to the poor.
The Old One
Encountered within the halls of Skalla, this animated guardian’s clay body is somehow evocative of the Far East. While its actual origin is unclear, it was likely borne to Ala Mhigo during the city-state’s days as a waypoint for trade.
Hrodric Poisontongue
Cousin to Theodoric, the last king of Ala Mhigo, the noble-born Hrodric was fifth in line to the throne. Compelled by an unwavering sense of justice, he made frequent attempts to counsel and calm the volatile monarch, but such efforts were construed as an act of treason. For this imagined crime, Hrodric suffered a terrible punishment, and was cursed to forever inhabit the form of a monstrous beast.
More
Suspicious of his own countrymen, Theodoric invited eastern mages to his court. The distinctive brands of enchantment observed throughout the ruins of Skala are suspected to be their handiwork

Alphinaud: Good to see you found a way in too, [Forename].
Arenvald: Right, then! Let's go and get our treasure! Arenvald: Up for some spearfishing, J'moldva?
J'moldva: Always.
Arenvald: What is that? Some kind of horse?
Alphinaud: It's the Kelpie! I've heard legends of it!
Alphinaud: I'm drenched from head to toe...
Arenvald: No more than you'd expect on an adventure, eh?
Alphinaud: I daresay this was a place of worship.
Arenvald: And I have a feeling it's crawling with “worshipers”...
Alphinaud: Quite well guarded, that door.
Arenvald: Does that mean we've already reached the treasure!? Arenvald: If that's the treasure, then consider me disappointed.
Alphinaud: Fortunately for you, it's another guardian. Be on your guard!
Arenvald: What in the seven hells!?
J'moldva: Wh-What's happened to my body?
Alphinaud: Ye gods, what magick is this!?
Arenvald: Grrr, just you wait!
J'moldva: A truly vexing spell...
Alphinaud: Ugh, not again!
Arenvald: Hmph, troublesome piece of clay...
Alphinaud: Indeed. Its magicks were not to be underestimated.
J'moldva: Prison cells...
Alphinaud: Relics of the mad king's reign.
Arenvald: That was a person? Seven hells...
Alphinaud: So the dark rumors of this place were true... Alphinaud: It seems that fellow won't let us have the treasure without a fight.
Arenvald: Wouldn't be much of an adventure if it didn't end on a climax, eh?
Post–dungeon Pop–ups
J'moldva: Arenvald has gotten stronger, hasn't he?
Arenvald: Piles upon piles of treasure... I can scarcely imagine how much there is.
Alphinaud: To think that monster used to be a man...
