The Flagship
The Flagship is the floating nerve center at the center of Azys Lla, where research was once conducted on three captive deities from the southern continent, known as the “Warring Triad.”
Aetherochemical Research Facility
This floating structure once served as a research facility of the ancient Allagan Empire, wherein studies in restraining dragons and mastering primals were conducted. Test subjects from failed experiments prowl its long-since-abandoned halls.
