The Ruby Sea

The Ruby Sea is a location in Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood, located between Hingashi and Othard.
==Profile==
Separating Othard and Hingashi yet ruled by neither, the Ruby Sea has, for as long as anyone can remember, been controlled by the Confederacy. To this day it remains free of any outside influence and is inhabited by a variety of peoples and beastmen, including the turtle-like Kojin.

====Sui-no-Sato====
An underwater settlement inhabited by a tribe of Raen Au Ra, brought into existence by co-operation with the Kojin of the Blue. The ancestors of these villagers fled from the constant wars of the surface, and thus they have learned to shun both violence as well as contact with those who dwell on the surface. Yugiri's birthplace.

===Heaven-on-High===
A mysterious tower made from what appears to be stone slabs, stacked one on top of each other until it pierces the sky.
===Hells' Lid===
An active volcano in the south of the sea. Deep underneath its caverns lies a forgotten temple inhabited by the auspices.

The Turquoise Trench (x2 y36)
Nestled on the sands of the Turquoise Trench, a thousand thousand fathoms below the surface of the Ruby Sea, is Shisui of the Violet Tides. A resplendent palace erected by Raen refugees who fled underwater to escape the constant wars that raged upon the land, its unique beauty is nigh unparalleled. The light, however, quickly fades from its once-peaceful halls as sinister wraiths from the void pour forth, seizing the souls of all its occupants, including that of the Ruby Princess. Now, none but the Warrior of Light can save Shisui of the Violet Tides from the darkness that threatens to engulf it whole...

Hells' Lid (x27 y38)
Having found themselves in somewhat dire financial straits, the Scions of the Seventh Dawn are on the lookout for profitable ventures. Fortuitously, one appears to have presented itself: an anonymous missive from an individual seeking the aid of the warrior who laid low the Lord of the Revel. But before they will divulge the details, they would put your abilities to the proof. To wit, you are to venture into the hidden depths of Hells' Lid, a volcanic island once home to a host of oni─at least, according to ancient legend...

Level 63
The Air of the Opulent (x4 y22)
Your efforts to wreak havoc on the Isle of Zekki and draw the Red Kojin away from their Imperial masters have exceeded all expectations. Unfortunately, for reasons beyond your knowing, two of the sacred treasures in the isle's vault "reacted" to the presence of the Yasakami-no-Magatama, summoning forth from the aether the great kami Susano—a primal by any other name. How fortunate that you had the wisdom and foresight to invite several of your fellow adventurers on this trip to the Far East, and how kind they were to agree to help you torment the Red Kojin, for no single warrior, no matter how blessed or powerful, could ever hope to slay a primal on his own, despite what some wandering minstrels would have you believe.

Reisen Temple via Hells' Lid (x27 y38)
As the return of the mad auspice Koryu draws ever closer, Genbu of the Four Lords seeks to marshal his comrades' strength. But while the white tiger, Byakko, has been restored to his senses, the radiant Suzaku is on the verge of succumbing to the aramitama. For centuries she has mourned the fallen Tenzen, and in her boundless grief struggled to accept his loss. What is more, her ascendant aramitama now clouds her mind and drives her to reject those who would offer her comfort. As before, there is but one way Suzaku can be brought back from the brink of madness─for the sake of the Ruby Sea and those who call her home, you and your comrades must quell the rage within the auspice's soul.

Item Level 365
The Isle of Bekko (x37 y15)
Having quelled the raging aramitama of the fearsome Byakko and the fiery Suzaku, the time has come for you and yours to confront the fourth member of this legendary band of heroes: Seiryu. Have no doubt that his trial will prove every bit as challenging as his comrades', for not only must you contend with the auspice himself, but his host of minions as well...

The Air of the Opulent (x4 y22)
In the shadow of Kugane's renowned Mujikoza theater, you recount your clash with Susano to the wandering minstrel. Inspired by your tale, he proceeds to commit it to song, his gift for words imbuing events with an intensity you do not quite recall. Such is common practice when adapting for the stage, the minstrel explains, as your mind wanders back to the scene of battle, the verses echoing in your mind...

Item Level 370
Reisen Temple via Hells' Lid (x27 y38)
Ever eager to put his lyrical skills to the proof, the wandering minstrel has crafted yet another tanka, this time deriving inspiration from your pitched battle against the auspice Suzaku deep beneath Hells' Lid. Knowing full well the suggestive power of his words, you once more close your eyes and set your mind adrift in the memories of that day, augmented by his dramatic flair...
Trial

Item Level 380
The Isle of Bekko (x37 y15)
The wandering minstrel has never been one to pass up an opportunity to take artistic liberties for the sake of drama. On this particular occasion, he has embellished the circumstances surrounding your battle with Seiryu of the Four Lords on a secluded isle in the Ruby Sea. Indeed, no one could have possibly predicted that a Hingan tanka would possess such power as to spirit you through time and space unto an alternate reality, but seeing as you and your (imaginary?) comrades are in this (imagined?) realm, you may as well make the most of it.

Crick (x21 y9)
Rising high above the Ruby Sea from the island of Onokoro, Heaven–on–High is said to be the stairway traversed by kami descending from their empyrean home. Following the discovery of a secret entrance, the Confederate leader Rasho asks you to investigate the tower and brave the hordes of vile fiends that lurk within.

 	63-67 	The Isle of Bekko (x32 y20) 	15 minutes 	Defeat Forevermore.
 	Ruby Sea alehouses are abuzz with tales of an ill-omened bird sailors have dubbed “Forevermore.” If the stories are to be believed, the cloudkin will alight upon a ship's prow and repeat the words “forever and ever” several times over before flying off to the horizon. The following morning, if even a third of the crew remains, they can consider themselves fortunate. Now, that bird is said to be frightfully near...

 	63-67 	East Othard Coastline (x10 y7) 	15 minutes 	Defeat Kuimu Lang.
 	A lone wolf is terrorizing the village of Isari, stealing livestock and defiling rice paddies. There are even rumors that he whispers in children's ears as they sleep, telling them to ignore their chores and disobey their elders. It is high time someone did something about Kuimu Lang, and that someone is you! 	A lone wolf is terrorizing the village of Isari, stealing livestock and defiling rice paddies.

 	63-67 	East Othard Coastline (x9 y6) 	15 minutes 	Defeat the lone bi fang.
 	Bi fang─a predatory bird native to Yanxia─are widely thought of as harbingers of ill fortune, so when an entire flock arrives from the west, one might understand why they would be so willing to pay good coin to see the birds slain and their bodies tossed to the tides.

 	63-67 	Rasen Kaikyo (x34 y25) 	15 minutes 	Defeat the yumemi.
 	The Ruby Sea shellfish known as yumemi will sometimes remain dormant on the ocean floor for several moons, siphoning aether from thermal fissures and storing it inside its shell. Once enough mana has been accumulated, the mollusk will rise from the depths and emerge to hunt on land, killing indiscriminately with its primitive magicks.

 	63-67 	The Isle of Bekko (x34 y18) 	15 minutes 	Defeat the dawnborn dragonflies.
 	A plague of dawnborn dragonflies comes from the north and west threatening the flora and fauna of the Ruby Sea's isolated islands.

 	63-67 	The Isle of Zekki (x8 y30) 	15 minutes 	Deliver crates of Blue treasure to the Blue avenger.
 	Several curiosities have been stolen from altars tended to by the Blue Kojin. The perpetrators─unsurprisingly a band of Red Kojin─still lurk nearby, and the Blues are seeking help in locating the thieves and taking back what is rightfully theirs...using any means necessary.

 	Some say shiranui are the restless spirits of shipwrecked sailors. Others, the signal lamps of draconian deities. What they all agree on is that when even one appears─let alone an entire congregation─lives will be lost. 	Some say shiranui are the restless spirits of shipwrecked sailors.

 	63-67 	Rasen Kaikyo (x26 y5) 	15 minutes 	Defeat Sogenbi.
 	Cast from the cliffs for stealing relics from his temple, the priest Sogenbi's body perished on the rocks below, but his evil spirit remained, bound to the corporeal realm. Now he wanders the Ruby Sea, preying on the souls of the innocent...and the not-so-innocent, when no innocent are available.

 	63-67 	The Isle of Bekko (x34 y23) 	15 minutes 	Defeat the striped rays.
 	The striped ray is one of the Ruby Sea's most deadly predators and almost impossible to tame, so it is a testament to the Red Kojin's tenacity...or stubbornness that they endeavor to do so. However, it is not rare to find that one or more of the wavekin have again escaped their captors' nets, even more frenzied than they were before.
