Summerford is an area found in the center of [[Middle La Noscea]]. Its fertile soil and location near [[Limsa Lominsa]] make it a prime spot for the city to encourage farming. Outside of the farms, the region is still largely wild, with a wide variety of beasts and raider camps tucked away in the corners.
