— In-game description
Aldenard is a landmass in Hydaelyn.
Westernmost of the Three Great Continents, Aldenard is currently governed by four independent city-states—Gridania ruling the interior forests of the Black Shroud, the sultanate of Ul'dah ruling the southern deserts of Thanalan, the Holy See of Ishgard ruling the northern highlands of Coerthas, and Limsa Lominsa ruling La Noscea on the southwestern island of Vylbrand, as well as its neighboring seas.
Little more than two decades ago, there was an additional pair of city-states which shared Eorzea with the aforementioned four—Sharlayan and Ala Mhigo. The former, however, was abandoned by its inhabitants out of fear when the Garlean Empire invaded Aldenard from the north and occupied Ala Mhigo.[1]
