Nym

Nym is an ancient city in Final Fantasy XIV that existed on the island of Vylbrand hundreds of years ago. Little is known about it but the adventurer will be able to aid the historians who flock to La Noscea to discover more. Oschon was once its patron deity. It may also have ties to Nymeia, whose symbol appeared on a stone at Moraby Bay.
==Story==
During the Fifth Astral Era, Plainsfolk Lalafell from Aloalo Island in the South Seas traveled to the island of Vylbrand in Eorzea and founded the city-state of Nym. The Nymians took Oschon the Wanderer as their patron deity, and built the Wanderer's Palace in veneration of him.
During the War of the Magi, Nym would be laid low by a disease known as the "Green Death," a plague that transformed many of its citizens into tonberries. The disease was brought back by seafaring traders who were rescued by a tribe of Lalafellin on an island in the south seas, after being hit by a storm. Many of the afflicted would remain quarantined within the Wanderer's Palace, where they survived even into the Seventh Umbral Era. Among those was a scholar named Surito Carito. The plague was caused by an ampoule the traders had brought back; specifically, a voidsent haagenti named Bitoso bound inside the ampoule, a trap set by the void mages of Mhach to lay the city-state of Nym low. During the war Nym would also be attacked by Ozma, a creation of Mhach which destroyed part of the city with dimensional compression.
During the Sixth Umbral Calamity, it is said Golbas Rombas saved his people with aid of a powerful grimoire called the Last Resort. Some Nymian survivors of the flood Calamity settled on Aloalo Island, the land of their ancestors. By the time the Galadion shipwrecked on the coast of La Noscea circa 877 year of Sixth Astral Era, the city of Nym had long ceased to exist as a political entity.
The accepted theory by scholars as to how the ruins of Nym in Outer La Noscea came to be floating is the over-aspecting of corrupted wind crystals and the de-aspecting of earth crystals. Such a phenomenon was commonly witnessed in the late Sixth Astral Era, shortly before the Seventh Umbral Calamity.Encyclopædia Eorzea: The World of Final Fantasy XIV, pg. 111
==Military==
The Nymians had a standing military organization known as the Royal Marines. These marines would consist of formations of marauder infantry supported by arcanists known as Scholars. A Scholar commanded tactical control of the battlefield, assisted by an arcanima fairy bound to their soul crystal. These tacticians ensured the Nymians could fend off aggressive neighbors even with a numerical disadvantage.
