As the name would suggest, Nine Ivies is known for the many species of ivy found in the area. The Order of the Twin Adder have increased their presence in the area, keeping watch for both encroaching sylphs and Garlean forces.

— In-game description

Nine Ivies is an area in East Shroud, The Black Shroud.

Landmarks

Amarissaix's Spire

Built in haste to monitor the Garlean forces who recently marched on the Twelveswood from the northeast, Amarissaix'a Spire is Gridania's newest watchtower. It takes its name from a leader of the Gold Bulls, who perished in the Battle of Carteneau after valiantly engaging the imperial army.

Castrum Oriens

Behind this Garlean outpost stands Baelsar's Wall, and behind that lies Gyr Abania - a region of the imperially occupied Ala Mhigo.

Josselin's Spire

Both Wood Wailers and Gods' Quiver are stationed in this strategically located watchtower, named for a legendary captain of the Wailers.

Little Solace

Little is the solace granted to those sylphs who would voice their opposition to the summoning of the Lord of Levin. Little is the solace bequeathed upon those who would abandon their homes in the Sylphlands and shun their frenzied brethren. Thus, it is only through fraternity that those sylphs may ultimately find solace, however little it may be.

-Little Solace is the new home of the sylphs who fled the Sylphlands in fear after a faction of their race summoned the primal Ramuh and became Tempered. Thanks to Kan-E-Senna, the sylphs have built a new home in the Nine Ivies, but they still plan to return to the Sylphlands someday.

-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.
