“In all of creation, what greater mystery could there be than the fate of this very star? To sound the deepest depths, to study the aetherial sea itself─for these purposes and more was the Antitower built. Abandoned by her Sharlayan caretakers following the exodus, it has since been overrun by the magical guardians they left behind. Yet were one blessed with Her gift to brave these dangers and descend to the furthest reaches─to hear, feel, and think at the heart of this world─what would they find?

Lore
A Porthole To The Aetherial Sea
In the year 1311 of the Sixth Astral Era, scholars from the northern nation of Sharlayan discovered natural caverns that descended deep into the subterrane of the Dravanian hinterlands. Judging the site ideal for observing the aetherial sea—the heart of Hydaelyn Herself—they constructed an observatory, the Antitower, and proceeded to study the fate of the very star. As the tower underwent expansion, so too did the little settlement that serviced it grow. This settlement came to assume the role of a waypoint for successive scholarly expeditions to Eorzea before eventually blossoming into the city-state of Sharlayan.
Generations later, as the exodus drew near, there were calls for the Antitower to be demolished in order to prevent its misuse. However, its immeasurable academic value ultimately prevailed, and instead it was locked behind a slew of protective seals, whose care was left to the lone individual who chose to remain behind, the Archon Matoya.
Zuro Roggo
Boasting extraordinary size and girth, this poroggo familiar fled its Sharlayan creators during the exodus and sought to establish a kingdom of its own kind inside the Antitower. With a voice lauded as divine by its peers, it croons out songs that brim with magical power.
Calcabrina
This doll-like construct was created to protect the sanctity of the Antitower. Steeped in the energies of generations of mages, the powerful magicks instilled in this guardian have worked certain transmutations upon its form, which it conceals by dividing itself into lesser dolls, Calcabrina and Brina.
More
In the depths near the aetherial sea, the laws of nature are in disarray and the hold of gravity weakened. To facilitate movement in such an environment, the Sharlayans employed arcane platforms and teleportation devices.
Dialogue
Duty Dialogue
Zuro Roggo: Croaaak! Who dares approach the tower!? Ones with ears to listen!? How wonderful! Zuro Roggo: It's...it's not easy being... <croak>
Cutscene
Calcabrina: We are Calcabrina! Adorable dolls! Terrible dolls! Yip-ho-ho!
Duty Support Dialogue
Y'shtola: An aetherial path... No simple thing to create.
Thancred: ...Let's keep moving.
Alphinaud: By the Twelve, it's literally upside down! Y'shtola: The aether is so dense as to be blinding.
Alphinaud: Good gods, what an enormous poroggo!
Zuro Roggo: Croaaak! Who dares approach the tower!? Ones with ears to listen!? How wonderful!
Thancred: They must provide excellent board here.
Zuro Roggo: It's...it's not easy being... <croak>
Alphinaud: I pray I never hear that song again... Thancred: Right, into the aether we go. Thancred: Is this it, then? The aetherial sea?
Y'shtola: This is the shore, you might say.
Alphinaud: More homunculi! Thancred: We'll deal with them like the rest.
Alphinaud: All these spriggans here...
Y'shtola: I imagine they were drawn to the crystals.
Alphinaud: That was tougher than I expected...
Y'shtola: Come, the lowest level awaits.
Alphinaud: Even the candles burn upside down...
Y'shtola: How very Sharlayan to obsess over useless details.
Thancred: Defenses for the innermost sector, eh?
Alphinaud: Can't lower our guard even for a moment!
Alphinaud: Those dolls are the guardians of the viewing chamber?
Y'shtola: Have care─I sense tremendous power from them!
