What year it is: 1577, the Seventh Umbral Era, as of the first few hours of the game it will be the 27th Sun of the Fourth Umbral Moon, month of Rhalgr the Destroyer.
Just wanted to correct a couple inaccuracies here real quick.Â
Hydaelyn - The World.
Aldenard - The Westernmost of the Three Great Continents. This is where Eorzea is located.
Eorzea - The Realm that is comprised of Aldenard and its surrounding islands.
Vylebrand - Large island that Limsa Lominsa is a part of. The island features marbled cliff faces, tropical climate, and an active volcano on the north end of the island named O'Ghomoro.
There are six great city-states which are like nations or countries controlled by a single city. They are as follows: (listed as city-state and then the region under its control)
Ul'dah - Thanalan region
Gridania - The Black Shroud
Limsa Lominsa - La Noscea region
Ishgard - Coerthas region
Sharlayan - Dravania region (the city is currently abandoned though)
Ala Mhigo - Gyr Abania (this city and region has been conquered by the Garleans)
Also, the year is now written as "the Year 5 of the Seventh Umbral Era" or "the 5th year of the Seventh Umbral Era" The Sixth Astral Era ended in 1572 and the year resets with each new era. So we are now 5 years into the Seventh Umbral Era at the launch of ARR.
Think that's all I wanted to correct. ^^; Message me if you need any lore help, Evie!
