Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks
“As Lominsans have precious little room to build outwards, they have spent many generations building towards the skies. The upper decks have thus come to weave their way around the Mizzenmast, and extend to outlying towers along bridges of stone and wood.

Lore
Limsa’s lower decks are some of the city’s earliest structures, having been constructed by the crew of the Galadion between the towers in the bay. These bridges and platforms hang over the ocean waters, and are truly a beautiful sight to behold. When viewed from afar, they shine and sway not unlike the lightest of gossamer silks, and as such have been given the name the “Navigator's Veil.” [1]
Barracuda Piers
These docks moor only the Maelstrom's principal squadrons, also known as the Crimson Fleet. To prevent sabotage, admittance to the area is forbidden to the general citizenry; however, on clear days, one may catch a glimpse of the armada flagship, the Triumph, from atop one of Limsa Lominsa’s myriad spans.
The Ferry Docks
These landings exclusively serve the ferry that sails to Vesper Bay along the western coast of Thanalan.
Mealvaan's Gate
For the purposes of taxation, all inbound cargo must pass through inspection at Mealvaan’s Gate, as must the crews and passengers of docked ships. Established some five hundred years ago by Admiral Mealvaan, the Gate has supported the maritime city-state and her trade since. The arcanists who man it as “assessors” are well versed in sums, and have established their guild within so as to train newcomers to their art.
Hawkers' Alley
Merchants travel from far and wide to sell their wares in Hawkers' Alley. In addition to foreign shopkeeps from exotic lands, one can find goblins, Qiqirn, and other beastmen peddlers. Of late, one may even see Mamool Ja—a race hailing from the distant western continent.
The Octant
Though the Octant takes its name from a navigational tool that greatly advanced seafaring, this eight-sided courtyard was built to honor the instruments’ inventor, Jovanni Gnonno. It is a popular meeting place for townsfolk, a key hub of transportation, and, following the Calamity, the new home to an aetheryte.
The Zephyr Gate
The great threshold to outer Limsa, the Zephyr Gate is named for the westerly breeze that wafts pleasantly through the area. Beyond its doors lies the Procession of Terns, which leads to middle La Noscea.
Bulwark Hall
The large, fortified gate of the Maelstrom's Burwark Hall exists in part to protect the Bridge, the center of Lominsan government. Indeed, as the last bastion of defense, the hall has arrowslits along its walls to allow soldiers within to repel attackers without.
Fisherman's Bottom
By rights, Fisher's Bottom, located at the lowest point in the city, should be known for the organization to which it is home—Wawalago’s Pullers, the largest group of fishermen in the city. Nonetheless, it would seem Lominsans overwhelmingly prefer the popular sobriquet.
The Astalicia
Registered as a trade vessel hailing from distant waters, this battle-scarred warship captained by the lord of the region’s underworld, One-eyed Hyllfyr, serves as a gathering place for brigands, cutthroats, and the purveyors of sundry other breeds of villainy. It is here that the city-state’s many pirate crews find new recruits to join their ranks.
The Dutiful Sisters Of The Edelweiss
Sitting quietly in the outskirts of the harbor, this supposed convent houses the Dutiful Sisters of the Edelweiss. In truth, however, the place serves those who ensure no one breaks the unspoken code of criminals—the Rogues’ Guild.
Pharos Polaris
Its flame guiding ships safely homewards in the stead of the pole star, Pharos Polaris is a white lighthouse built precariously upon a solitary reef over the course of many years. Naldiq & Vymelli’s is charged with its upkeep, and for safety reasons only employees of the company may enter. It is rumored that a voidsent bomb provides the light for the tower’s lamps.
