East Shroud

East Shroud is a location in Final Fantasy XIV.

Story[]

Locations[]

The East Shroud is the eastern most edge of Eorzea, beyond which lies the Garlean-occupied lands of Gyr Abania. The immense Baelsar's Wall rings the entire eastern border.

This zone connects to Central Shroud along a road in the Honey Yards, and to the South Shroud in Nine Ivies through Mun-Tuy Cellars. The docks at Sweetbloom Pier run ferries to Gridania.

Aetherytes[]

The only Aetheryte is located at Hawthorne's hut, in south center of the map.

Areas[]

East Shroud contains the following areas:

• The Honey Yard - The closest section to Gridania.
• Nine Ivies – The southern most area.
• Bramble Patch – A tangled grove in the center.
• Larkscall - A high-level woodland road in the east, with a distinctive green tint.
• Sylphsland - The sprawling stronghold of the Sylph beast-tribe in the northwest.

Settlements[]

Hawthorne Hut[]

An aetheryte camp run by Rolfe Hawthorne and his family.

Little Solace[]

Located near Hawthorne's Hut, this village has become a refuge for untouched sylphs after a schism in the Sylphlands over their primal.

Weather[]

The East Shroud's climate may exhibit any of the following weather conditions:

Weather	Frequency or conditions
Clear Skies	30%
Fair Skies	30%
Rain	15%
Clouds	10%
Fog	10%
Thunder	5%
Tension	Occurs when Steel Reign is active anywhere in the Black Shroud.

Places of interest[]

Sanctum of the Twelve[]

Once created long ago during the Fifth Umbral Era as a place of refuge, this sanctuary was rediscovered after the calamity and has since been used for a number of ceremonies.

Castrum Oriens[]

A Garlean citadel located southeast of Nine Ivies. It runs under Baelsar's Wall and serves as a vital supply line for the XIVth Legion's campaigns in Eorzea.

Sylphlands[]

The deepest part of the forest. Ever since a schism over the primal Ramuh, the sylphlands has become extremely hostile to visitors, whether they be Eorzean or Garlean. The area is perpetually tinted purple.

Baelsar's Wall[]

A colossal metal wall separating the Black Shroud from Gyr Abania. It was built by Solus zos Galvus to protect the empire against beast tribe and primal threats.

Activities[]

Duties[]

Baelsar's Wall Dungeon Level 60 Item level 230 Nine Ivies (x22 y31)

Marking the border between the Black Shroud and Gyr Abania, the legacy of Gaius van Baelsar is a towering monument to imperial tyranny. And now smoke rises from its iron crenellations. In a bid to drag the armies of Eorzea into the struggle for Ala Mhigan liberation, the Griffin and his Resistance fighters have disguised themselves in Grand Company uniforms and laid siege to Baelsar's Wall. While Alphinaud seeks to call your companions back from their now-meaningless mission of diplomacy, you must ascend the war-torn fortification by the swiftest route possible and persuade the Griffin─by force, if necessary─to abandon his reckless ambition.

thornmarch hard Trial Level 50 Item level 54 The Bramble Patch (x15 y20)

Good King Moggle Mog, the Twelfth of His Name, has once more been called forth by the Mogglesguard. Though the king is not considered a primal in the strictest sense, he poses a threat not unlike that of the beastman gods, in that his influence could corrupt his people's peaceful nature. And so, like those other aether-starved beings, he too must be felled for the sake of the realm.

striking tree hard Trial Level 50 Item level 65 Sylphlands (x25 y17)

After forging deep into the Sylphlands, you meet with the intimidating guardian deity of the sylphs─the primal Ramuh. But before he will consider your proposal of peace, the Lord of Levin first demands proof that you possess the strength required to repel the Empire from the Twelveswood. The thunderous entity then vanishes in a blinding flash, leaving the words of his challenge yet echoing in your ears. Enter the primal's domain, and prepare to be measured on the scales of battle!

thornmarch extreme Trial Level 50 Item level 80 The Bramble Patch (x15 y20)

Kuplo Kopp's attempt to chastise the Mogglesguard for their dangerous and foolhardy actions has not had the intended effect. Reminded of how deadly the Twelveswood has become, the royal guards have instead channeled their fear and desperation into calling forth an even more potent potentate. The Good King Moggle Mog XII now styles himself the Great King Moggle Mog XII, and all the evildoers in the forest shall tremble before his majestic wrath!

striking tree extreme Trial Level 50 Item level 85 Sylphlands (x25 y17)

Satisfied that the Warrior of Light has passed his trial, the primal Ramuh departs Eorzea for the aetherial sea. His sylvan thralls, however, unconvinced that their territory is truly safe, have focused their deep-rooted fear and spite into summoning their god anew. Can you rise to the challenge and prove your might once again? Crackling with the vengeful energies of his children's prayers, the Lord of Levin's judgment promises to be harsh indeed...

All Vine and No Popotoes	40-45	Larkscall (x25 y22)	15 minutes	Defeat the ochus.

	Imperial pilus prior Aulus rem Vulso, accompanied by a thin retinue of soldiers, has embarked on a rare outing to personally observe warmachina wreckage. His defeat would deal the Empire a crushing blow. Do not let this chance slip away!
Got Milkroot	46-50	Sylphlands (x28 y17)	15 minutes	Defeat the milkroot saplings.
	Milkroot is a curse upon the people of the Twelveswood, destroying lives and tearing apart families. The sylphs who grow the deadly drug must be dealt with, but until they can be found, we must concentrate our efforts on ridding the forest of the saplings.
Breaking Dawn	47-50	Goldleaf Dais (x32 y14)	10 minutes	Defeat Daxio of the Dawn.
	Tempered sylphs have prepared a feast for Daxio of the Dawn─a powerful weaver of spells who uses milkroot to conjure visions of the future. The revelry must be stopped lest the sylphs defile the sacred forest and anger the elementals.
Bush Blade	47-50	Moonspore Grove (x29 y12)	15 minutes	Defeat Volxia of the Blade.

Handful of Dreams	49-52	Hanging Barbs (x24 y10)	15 minutes	Defeat the dreamtoads.
	To induce even more powerful visions, tempered sylphs add the excretions of dreamtoads to their milkroot solutions. This blend, however, oft proves too toxic for the unknowing taker, and can lead to coma or even death. Little can be done to stop the production of milkroot, but the fewer toads to gather oil from, the harder it will be for the sylphs to brew the more potent varieties.
Everything's Better	49-52	Sylphlands (x23 y14)	10 minutes	Defeat the sylph bonnets.
	Masters of poisons, the sylphs utilize all manner of the forest's flora and fauna to create their deadly tinctures. One of those materials is a funguar known as the sylph bonnet for the hood-like shape of the cap. The poison from one cap can sicken an entire army, so it is best that the creatures are disposed of before the beastmen find them.
The Gale that Rocks the Cradle	49-52	The Seedbed (x20 y10)	15 minutes	Defeat Pulxio of the Short Gale.
	Pulxio of the Short Gale is the stone-hearted sylph tasked with taking newly sprouted sylph bulbs away from the Seedbed for tempering. The first step in stopping a new generation of brainwashed sylphs from ruling the forest is to take Pulxio's life.
What a Boar	49-52	Sylphlands (x23 y18)	10 minutes	Defeat Kafre.
	A thoroughbred sylphic fighting boar known as Kafre has turned on its masters and is now wreaking havoc in the Twelveswood. The savage creature has never known defeat; that must change, else there will be more sapshed.
Steel Reign	50-70	Larkscall (x26 y21, x26 y24) Nine Ivies (x23 y30) Does not appear on the map.	30 minutes	Defeat Odin.
	Atop his mighty steed, clad in armor darker than the void, the elder primal Odin has returned to Eorzea to exact his brutal judgment upon the realm.
