Landmarks
The Silent King
Thought to be a relic of Belah'dia, the Silent King is the upper half of a colossal statue revealed for the first time in centuries following the recent collapse of a sinkhole. At present, the Order of Nald'thal has dispatched thaumaturges to learn more of its mysteries. Unfortunately, many of the other ruins revealed in the collapse have since been removed by local families for use in the reconstruction of buildings destroyed in the Calamity.
The Waking Sands
The Waking Sands is the base of the Scions of the seventh dawn throughout most of the game. It is located in Vesper Bay, Western Thanalan and the closest aetheryte crystal is located in Horizon other methods of travel include by ship from the port near the Arcanist's Guild in Limsa Lominsa.
Crescent Cove
Shaped like a waning crescent moon, this cove is home to a small, forlorn fishing village. Its inhabitants have grown increasingly despondent since the Calamity=the altered flow of currents in nearby seas rendering once-rich fishing grounds barren.
Vesper Bay
A bustling port city strategically situated on the western coast of Thanalan and maintained using funds generously provided by Syndicate chairman Lolorito, Vesper Bay serves as a gateway in and out of sultanate-controlled lands. The colossal bronze statue in the main plaza is said to be an exact likeness of said chairman (when viewed from afar).
