Quote:In many areas there are ruins of the ancient cities of Sharlayan.
Since the people of Sharlayan were focused on wisdom and philosophy, the naming conventions were made with Greek archetypes in mind. (Koji Fox)
The architecture was also designed with Greek styles in mind. The dragons have not come to the areas where the people of Sharlayan once lived. (Oda)
Okay, I don't have the info in front of me, but I thought that the Sharlayan colony on the Aldenard mainland was more recently abandoned (within the last few years, a couple of decades at the most), but the above quote makes it look like the Eorzean Sharlayan is ancient history.
Anyone able to clarify?
