Lower La Noscea

Lower La Noscea is a location in Final Fantasy XIV.
It largely serves as a starting zone for players who begin in Limsa Lominsa.
==Story==
Players who begin their adventure as an arcanist or marauder will eventually be sent here to help at Moraby Drydocks. They will be instrumental in saving the Lominsan flagship Victory from sabotage by the Serpent Reavers.
During Through the Maelstrom, the drydocks are used to construct the Whorleater, a special barge intended to combat the primal Leviathan.
==Locations==
Lower La Noscea is at the very southern end of Vylbrand. The area was greatly sundered by the Calamity, cutting off much of the Gods' Grip from the rest of the island. A bridge called Oschon's Embrace was swiftly constructed since then to restore infrastructure.
This zone connects to Eastern La Noscea in the north, and to Middle La Noscea through Blind Iron Mines. Ferry services at Candlekeep Quay travel to Aleport in Western La Noscea. The city-state itself is accessed through the Tempest Gate, while the residential district Mist is located next to Red Rooster Stead.
===Aetherytes===
The only Aetheryte is located at Moraby Drydocks, located at the southern end.
Players seeking quick access to the northern sections would be better suited teleporting to Limsa Lominsa and using the aethernet to leave through the Tempest Gate.
===Areas===
Lower La Noscea contains the following areas:
*Moraby Bay – Located near the Tempest Gate.
*Cedarwood – An extensive farmland region in the north.
*Gods' Grip – The peninsula in the southern region.
===Settlements===
====Red Rooster Stead====
A homestead on a small hill near the Cedarwood farmlands, just east of Limsa Lominsa in the Lower La Noscea zone. It is located outside the entrance to The Mist residential district.
====Candlekeep Quay====
A small dock in the Gods' Grip area. Ferry services regularly travel between here and Aleport.
====Moraby Drydocks====
The official shipyards of Limsa Lominsa, it was spared the worst of the Calamity thanks to geography of Gods's Grip. The shipyards have since been hard at work in designing a new flagship Victory to bolster the city-state's morale.
===Weather===
Lower La Noscea's climate may exhibit any of the following weather conditions:
Weather	Frequency
 	30%
 	20%

 	10%

==Places of interest==
====Blind Iron Mines====
A mineshaft located to the west of Cedarwood. A tunnel leading to the La Thagran checkpoint in Middle La Noscea is here.
====The Grey Fleet====
A series of coastal windmills constructed from leftover sails and materials of decommissioned ships.
====Oschon's Embrace====
A bridge constructed to reconnect Gods' Grip to the rest of Vylbrand when the Calamity sundered it.
====The Salt Strand====
Part of the coastline north of Candlekeep Quay, the site where a shard of Dalamud had struck offshore. A surge of aether immediately fused with and crystallized the fountain of salt water from the impact, leaving an unmistakable legacy of the Calamity.
====Oschon's Torch====
A lighthouse located at the southern end of the peninsula, overlooking Candlekeep Quay.

Moraby Drydocks Landing (x26 y36) 	
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.

Moraby Drydocks Landing (x26 y36) 	
To the chagrin of countless treasure hunters, the golden coffer of the legendary Mistbeard was not to be found on Hullbreaker Isle. And so like the mists which had withdrawn to reveal the isle did those ambitious souls depart to seek fame and fortune elsewhere, allowing Eynzahr Slafyrsyn to quietly petition Admiral Merlwyb for permission to repurpose it as a training ground for Maelstrom recruits.The storm marshal would have you be the first to brave this gauntlet, that you might pit yourself against the isle's fearsome fauna and the Maelstrom's elite, and in so doing rouse their spirits. Will you give the storm officers a beating they will not soon forget, or will they stand triumphant at the last and shout that they have bested the Warrior of Light?

Moraby Drydocks (x24 33) 	
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.

Moraby Drydocks (x24 33) 	
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.

 	They say every rose has its thorn. When it comes to roselings, however, thorns are the least of your problems.

 	8-13 	Cedarwood (x35 y15) 	15 minutes 	Defeat the galagos.
 	Galagos from nearby Raincatcher Gully have found their way into the granaries which store the flour milled by the Grey Fleet. Why galagos would want flour when there are berries aplenty in the jungle is a mystery that might never be solved because the millers want those galagos dead.

 	While little is known about mandragoras, what is known tends to be quite disturbing. Such is the case with the mandragora prince, who is rumored to journey to the sites of slaughters so it might feed off the blood-soaked loam.
