Did Witchdrop, in its current function as a place to execute heretics, exist before the calamity? Or was Witchdrop created recently as a result of the Calamity? (Writing a story where this question is important) Thanks

Haha I do too, so many specific questions. That's true about Ishgard expansion and I'm certain that with the lockdown lifted and the war finally over, Ishgard can really take back everything they lost. Estinien's village though, Ferndale, was destroyed long before the calamity. I want to investigate that MSQ.

Ah I understand and agree. It would be really nice to see how Ishgard developed over time and learn more. I appreciate your input.

That's a fair point, I'm not sure if they would be useful enough either other than maybe as additional military installations or housing. So do you think or doubt that these territories exist in fluff and/or are realistically plausible in rp?

The main thing I want to learn is, can lesser houses own territory in Coerthas after the calamity? I should have clarified since there is a big difference and Ishgard seems to have lost a lot if not most of its ground.

Thanks, that is a rather good example of what I am looking for. I wonder though, if these events (the sacrificing) took place before or after the calamity. I think if lesser houses have minor territories in Coerthas then they definitely won't be on the scale of vigils or Camp Dragonhead.

That would be pretty time consuming so I don't blame you So all the Ishgardian lesser houses are pretty much based in Ishgard city itself? There are no lesser house outpost, small forts, or small settlements in Coerthas? In many settings I often assume that there are additional locations that are not explored due to game limits or because they are not important so that is what I assumed with the lesser houses especially since they are not really mentioned in detail.

Hello, I have some specific questions regarding Ishgard territories and who owns them. Also I would appreciate some insight in how much potential minor fluff houses and player made houses have. Edit: Mainly, can lesser houses own territory in Coerthas since after the calamity? Is this implied in fluff and/or are there any examples? I am curious what kind of territory an Ishgardian lesser count(s? I am not sure if Countess Ystride de Caulignont is the only lesser house count), viscounts, barons, or just normal lords can hold. Who owned territories like Falcon's nest and Owl's nest before the calamity? I read this on a wiki "Before the Calamity, people from Falcon's Nest were frequently summoned by Archbishop Thordan VII to fight dragons." which to me sounds like falcon's nest was potentially independent before the ice came but its not a good source at all. When the calamity hit Coerthas, did everyone evacuate to Ishgard city itself or were there other safe places to survive the climate shift? (like what about camp dragonhead or similiar places) I'm interested in what you think, thanks.
