The Moraby Drydocks - main offices of Naldiq & Vymelli's - are presently bustling with shipwrights working to finish the Victory, the first large-scale vessel to be constructed after the Calamity.

— Encyclopædia Eorzea, p. 107

Moraby Drydocks is an area in Lower La Noscea, La Noscea. It is a settlement within The Gods' Grip. It is a large, busy shipyard operated by the sole constructor of Limsa Lominsan ships, Naldiq & Vymelli's, who have their headquarters here. Due to its importance to the city, the Maelstrom keeps the shipyard under their protection. The area was spared the brunt of the Calamity's damage due to its sheltered location, though the docks have had to work overtime since repairing and rebuilding ships. Prior to the Calamity, the shipbuilding facilities were used solely by the Armorer's Guild in order to prevent sabotage. Nowadays, with many craftsmen moved onto more pressing restoration projects, the builders have resorted to recruiting adventurers, freelancers, and former pirates in order to complete their projects.

The shipyard's largest project is the Victory, Naldiq & Vymelli's first vessel crafted since the Calamity. When completed it is intended to be the most powerful ship in the Maelstrom's armada, which was largely destroyed in the Calamity. The work is overseen by Ahtbyrm.

Landmarks

Hullbreaker Isle

Upon the Rhotano Sea, along the fringes of the island chain known as the Cieldalaes, there stretches an expanse of water perpetually covered in heavy mist. Hidden within this impenetrable shroud is Hullbreaker Isle, so named for having smashed innumerable hapless vessels into flotsam over the centuries. In the wake of the Calamity, however, it came to be that the mist would lift under certain conditions. On one such day, a merchantman sailed into the area to behold not only the isle itself, but also the wreck of the Haar, the flagship of the dread pirate Mistbeard. The discovery has rekindled interest in Mistbeard's legendary hoard, and treasure hunters the realm over are now scrambling to find passage to the elusive isle.

The Whorleater (Hard)

The Sahagin, reviled beast tribe native to the Indigo Deep, have succeeded in summoning forth their voracious god, the primal Leviathan. Should the mighty serpent be allowed to unleash a tidal wave, the entire city of Limsa Lominsa will be swept into the sea. Faced with watery oblivion, the leaders of the Maelstrom have conceived a desperate plan: by lashing together two warships and filling their holds with corrupted crystals, they hope to pierce the Lord of the Whorl's defenses and give a chosen few the chance to dispatch the primal with courage and steel. The Whorleater sits in the bay with her towing vessel, the Triumph, awaiting but the command to cast off.

The Whorleater (Extreme)

Though their beloved god was slain at the hands of the Warrior of Light, the Sahagin have wasted little time in mourning his passing. Drawing on the occult knowledge of the Ascians, the scaly beastmen have performed a foul ritual fueled by blood and sacrifice to bring forth the mightiest incarnation of Leviathan the realm has yet seen. Before the ocean deity can summon a tidal wave of catastrophic proportions, the Whorleater must once again set sail for open waters─and for victory.
