Spoiler Alert!

This Sourcebook contains spoilers for Shadowbringers expansion and it will contain Endwalker spoilers, if you have not yet completed the Main Story I recommend playing through that first. There were some plot elements that were introduced in that expansion that changes the way we fundamentally see the lore. These spoilers also inspired me to create new ideas that GM's can use to use to tell their own version of this story.

Preface

This document was created in inspiration by SilentSoren and the original creation of Final Fantasy XIV by Square Enix. This source book is meant to be used in conjuction with the FFXIV Class Compendium made by SilentSoren and with the Dungeon and Dragons 5e Players Handbook.

To summarize we're aiming to make SilentSoren's FFXIV Companion Guide is the FFXIV x D&D Players Handbook and this book the FFXIV x D&D Dungeon Masters guide

This source book is a fan love letter, we made this because of the love of the world that Square Enix put together for Final Fantasy, I do not take credit for anything that is in this document and this is purely a fan made compilation of the lore that is already out. I will try to be accurate to the source material as much as possible out of respect of the universe that Square Enix put together, however there will be new ideas that are brought up by me that are completely optional, I will be upfront about this and will label the fan creation parts of this as such. The implementation of the story may completely vary depending on which era this story is told from and scenarios will have different story hooks depending on GM choice so please be mindful of this.

Please support both SilentSoren and the original game Final Fantasy XIV.

Timeline

FFXIV has a deep and rich lore that scales back for generations. This compendium is written in the perspective of recent in-game history which at the time of writing, is the expansion Shadowbringers but nothing is preventing the Game Master from taking inspiration from any point in Eorzean history. Some of my fan creation will be centered around the near future.

Balance

This book is under heavy work in progress, as a result the balance of the game may be completely off. If any games are derailed or if something seems off with the balance, please let me know! any feedback is welcome as long as its constructive.
I am with the mindset that I will publish first and fix later, as a result things may be broken! You have been warned!
I am not responsible for any ruined games.

The Source

Hydaelyn, also known as the Source, is the primary setting of Final Fantasy XIV. It shares its name with the Mothercrystal who guides heroes that it calls upon.

This world is the original star from which Hydaelyn's thirteen reflections were sundered.

There are three main continents; Ilsabard, the continent on which the Garlean Empire was founded; Othard, a continent whose nations subjugated and absorbed into the Empire around twenty-five years prior to the game, and Aldenard, home to the realm of Eorzea and the main explorable continent of the game thus far.

Mor Dhona

Located near the west-center of Aldenard is Mor Dhona. This area is notable for a large derelict airship dominating the landscape, the Keeper of the Lake. Since the Calamity, many large crystalline deposits can be found dotting the area, including an immense Crystal Tower. As inhospitable as it is, the region has attracted many adventurers, resulting in the creation of the burgeoning town of Revenant's Toll.

Coerthas

This mountainous region contains the city-state of Ishgard. Originally featuring a temperate climate, the Calamity resulted in a transition to severe wintry conditions which have unrelentingly persisted in the years since.

Dravania

A region to the east of Coerthas featuring a temperate climate. The Dravanian Forelands and the floating isles around the peak of the mountain Sohm-Al have long been the territory of the broods of Hraesvelgr and Nidhogg. The Dravanian Hinterlands fall outside of this area, and subsequently allowed scholars from Sharlayan to found an outpost here of the same name. Since it's abandonment, a group of goblins and adventurers have made an alliance to retake the city, dubbing the Cenotaph and area immediately surrounding it "Idyllshire".

Abalathia's Spine

The mountain range that takes ups the northern part of Aldenard and prevents access to it's northern coast. It's large peaks host the Sea of Clouds, upon which float numerous islands thanks to their concentrations of wind crystals.

Gyr Abania

In the north-east of Aldenard lies Gyr Abania, a dry and mountainous region home to the city-state of Ala Mhigo. Due to the occupation of the Garlean Empire and the construction of Baelsar's Wall they were cut off for 20 years but due to the heroics of adventurers, Ala Mhigo was liberated, and the city state has joined in an alliance with the Three Grand Companies.

Ilsabard

Little is known about Ilsabard's geography, but it is known to be cold and mountainous in the north, there are temperate plains in the south where the Seeq originate, and according to Bajsaljen the southern coast of the continent is plentiful in foggy wetlands such as Gangos. Though it was once populated by many smaller nations, most have been subjugated by Garlemald and become its territories.

• The capital city of Garlemald itself is in the north.
• Bozja, the homeland of the Hrothgar, is in the far southeast near the Othardian kingdom Dalmasca. In addition to Hrothgar it is also known to be home to Hyur and Roegadyn.
• Bozja Citadel was the former capital of Bozja until it was destroyed 15 years ago years ago by Midas nan Garlond's experiments with Dalamud, in an event known as the Bozja Incident. All that is left now is Firelight's Coffin, a crystallized crater visible from the Bozjan Southern Front.
• Gangos is a wetland on Bozja's southern coast used as the base of operations for the Bozjan Resistance.

Othard

Many parts of Othard is under control of Garlemald, having invaded it once they began expanding out of Ilsabard. It was home to the city-state of Doma before its people rebelled against the imperial control and were forced to flee before their home was razed to the ground. The Garlean occupation has resulted in increasing numbers of displaced Au Ra seeking refuge in Eorzea.

Chapter 1: The World

Oschon

Oschon, the Wanderer, ruler of the mountains and god of vagrants, commands the element of wind and is associated with the Third Umbral Moon (sixth month). He is depicted as a carefree ranger wielding a bow of yew. His symbol is the walking stick. Oschon is the brother of Nald'thal, a close companion of Halone, and the divine lover of Menphina. He is the patron of the ancient city of Nym and the Miners' Guild.

Llymlaen

Llymlaen, the Navigator, watcher of the seas and goddess of navigation, commands the element of wind and is tied to the Third Astral Moon (fifth month). She is depicted as a strong fisherwoman holding a long-bladed harpoon, and her symbol is the wave. Llymlaen is the daughter of Thaliak and the elder sister of Nophica. Llymlaen is also the patron of Limsa Lominsa.

Nald'thal

Nald'thal, the Traders, overseer of transactions and the underworld and god of commerce, commands the element of fire and is tied to the Fifth Umbral Moon (tenth month). Nald'thal is depicted as a discerning merchant holding a balance, and his symbol is the cowry, an ancient shell currency. Oschon is Nald'thal's brother. Nald'thal is actually the single manifestation of the twins Nald and Thal.

Nophica

Nophica, the Matron, tender of soils and harvests and goddess of abundance, commands the element of earth and is tied to the Sixth Astral Moon (eleventh month). She is depicted as a jubilant farmer holding a steel scythe, and her symbol is the spring leaf. Daughter of Azeyma, Nophica is the younger sister of Llymlaen, and the bitter rival of Halone. Nophica is also the patron of Gridania.

Althyk

Althyk, the Keeper, the surveyor of change and god of space and time, commands the element of earth and is associated with the Sixth Umbral Moon (twelfth month). He is depicted as an austere emperor wielding a mythril greataxe. His symbol is the hourglass. He is the father of Azeyma and Menphina, and elder brother to Nymeia.

The Kami

No divine domains are listed as thier is no official list of deities in FF14 as the kami also include numerous spirits. The DM is encourged to use the Japanese deities from previous editions for a base and any other homebrewed deity.

Eorzean Calendar

The Eorzean Calendar's year consist of the moon, Menphina, revolving around Hydaelyn's two astral and umbral poles while fluctuating between each of the six elements. In this, the year can be said to be the length of twelve moons.

There are twelve months total, consisting of 32 days each

Currency

Languages

Eorzea is home to many different races and cultures. Every race has their own select language and we also see languages separated by region such as seen with the Sharlayans, Dalmascan and Hingashi. Some languages are not in use except for a select few people such as seen with Ancient Sea wolf and the Ascian language. Languages are an important part in the immersive role-playing experience and a crafty story telling technique in the GMs toolbelt.

Calamities

A Calamity is a cataclysmic event that signals the end of an Astral Era, thus leading into a time of hardship known as an Umbral Era. Though there have been seven Calamities total in the history of Eorzea[1], most instances of "The Calamity" refer to the Seventh Umbral Calamity—the descent of Dalamud (the second moon) in the year 1572 of the Sixth Astral Era, leading to the release of Bahamut at the Battle of Carteneau.

Magic

Aether Crystals

In areas where aether is over-abundant, giant crystals form from within the land. They can take an elemental aspect from any one of the six elements or can be unaspected.

Mor Dhona is a prime example of a land corrupted by aether which turned the place into a dangerous, lifeless place full of terrible beasts; this corruption manifested into colossal crystals which has taken over the landscape.

Wildlife that live near these creatures become more aggressive and dangerous and can take on the crystals element if aspected.

Optional Rule: Elemental Shifting

If you wish so, you can drop the elemental restrictions and twist the spell on the fly in such a way that it becomes a variant compatible with the crystal's element.

For example, when cast by a water crystal, the Fireball spell would unleash an explosion of high pressure water, dealing piercing rather than fire damage.

Variant: Spell Slot Battery

Instead of binding crystals to specific spells like scrolls do, you can chose to have a spellcaster consume it instead of one of its spell slot to cast a spell he or she already knows.

The restrictions on elemental compatibility still apply.

Astral and Umbral

Eorzean scholars believe that the elements are drawn to two polarities, Astral and Umbral, which represent active and passive states of aether. Where fire-aspected aether in Astral alignment may manifest as a wildfire, fire-aspected aether in an Umbral alignment may manifest as a dry heat.

The elements most commonly found in an Umbral state are Water, Earth, and Ice, with Ice being most closely associated with stasis. Those most commonly found in an Astral state are Wind, Fire, and Lightning, with Lightning being the element most closely associated with activity. Despite this, it is possible to find any of the six elements in an Astral or Umbral alignment.

Unaspected aether (aether that has a balanced elemental aspect) can also be pulled to an Umbral or Astral state. For example, the Seventh Umbral Calamity, wrought by Bahamut's wrath, is said to have been a Calamity of all elements in an astral state.

On the First, the implications of "active" and "static" are reversed. Seeing "activity" as akin to all colors coalescing into black, active effects are identified with Darkness. Likewise, seeing "passivity" as similar to the complete absence of hue, such effects are identified with Light. This understanding is revealed to be closer to the truth, with the Source understanding the observable effect, but the First coming closer to the primordial forces at their root.

Primals

Through the Ascians' actions, certain parties like the Beast Tribes learn to use the aether to "summon" embodiments of their desires called primals. The usual primals are those revered by their respective Beast Tribes as gods and are sustained by massive amounts of aether and hoarded crystals. There are also primals summoned by a single person with a strong desire, sometimes transformed into the primal itself with gradual madness as a side-effect of prolonged use. Primals are usually tied to an element.

As disproportionately high concentrations of aether, being around a primal can be dangerous as adventurers cannot stay in their lair for too long. Those who are gifted with the echo by Hydaelyn, seem immune to this effect. In the long term primals will consume aether from their surroundings, and if left unchecked, would drain the land of aether.

Actions

Headbutt. Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: (1d4) bludgeoning damage.

Untemper. The porxie can balance a targets aether within 15 feet, however it requires a charge. To untemper a being that has level 3 tempering, it will consume one level 3 spell slot from an allied unit, for level 2 tempering it will consume one level 2 spell slot, and so on for level 1. It can not untemper a entralled being that has 4th level tempering. This can only be done once per day.

Mother Porxies

Mother Porxies have the ability to create more porxies. The mother porxie is much larger and needs a large supply of aether crystal in order to be created. Anytime a mother porxie creates a new porxie, it will deplete a portion of its aether crystal supply and can only create a maximum of 3 porxies per day.

Travel

Chocobo Breeds

The three most common breeds are Ishgardian (Black), Dalmascan (Amber or Red), and Eorzean (Yellow). Ishgardian Chocobos have a more muscular build and have a longer wingspan, Dalmascan Chocobos are more slender and intelligent, and Eorzean chocobos are somewhere in the middle. Ishgardian chocobos are more likely to be able to fly, Dalmascan chocobos has access to a larger spell pool, and the Eorzean chocobo has the potential for either or has access to neither (depending on the GM). Of those three, the Eorzean chocobo is the most common.

You can have a chocobo of any breed and dye them to any color

Chocobo Spells

Although they can cast magic, they are not as intelligent as a humanoid. Since they are excellent mimickers they can cast only simple spells; which makes their spell selection limited. DM's can use their discretion as to which spells are learnable but it must be taught after a long period of time. Its spell casting modifier is WIS. Most breeds can only learn spells at later levels.

Spells in red are only available to Dalmascan chocobos. Spells that are in gray are not available to Ishgardian chocobos but are still available to the other two breeds.

Chocobo Builds

        - Credit to Paige404
Breeders have created different shapes and sizes of chocobo in order to accodimate the various races. The three main builds are Rouncey Chocobo, Belah'Dian Jennet, and the Gyr Abanian Destrier. You will find that for each breed of chocobo, you will find these three builds.

Eorzean (Yellow) Chocobo

By far the most common type of chocobo. These birds are well-rounded and suited to all types of tasks. They are not as tough as an Ishgardian chocobo, but they are stronger than an Dalmalscan. They are not as intelligent as an Dalmalscan but can outwit an Ishgardian. They can not fly like an Ishgardian could, however there are outliers that can. They have a wide range of spells and are a great companion.

They typically cost 9,000 Gil

Dalmascan (Amber/Red) Chocobo

A more slender, and intelligent chocobo. This chocobo breed is known to be more proficient in spellcasting. Their wings are weaker so it is very unlikely to be able to fly.

Due to their increased intelligence, they can be stubborn as a mule and can hold grudges. These chocobos are located in the Dalmasca region and some are imported into the Thanalan region by wealthy individuals at a increased cost.

They typically cost 8,700 Gil in the Othard continent but are slightly harder to find depending on location so the price can vary. They are usually double the cost in the Thanalan region.

Ishgardian (Black) Chocobo

This type of chocobo lives in the north where they are better adapted to the cold. They are stronger but are more limited in magic. They are able to learn to fly with some training and effort. Most of the flying training occur in The Holy Stables in Ishgard.

They typically cost 14,000 Gil

Chocobo Porter Prices

Across Eorzea is a business of short range transportation where you can rent out chocobos from traveling from town to town. This business is often referred to as Chocobo Porters or chocobokeeps. You can rent out from a single rouncey chocobo up to an entire caravan, depending on the specific chocobokeep location. After the chocobo is rented they would take you to your location and the chocobo is intelligent enough to return home once it has received some rest. The cost of this service can vary from place to place, depending on how difficult it is to maintain these chocobos but the average cost would be the same as PHB p159 which would be 3 gil per mile or if its within a city, would be 1 gil.

World Scale

It is not stated anywhere exactly how large the world of Hydaelyn is, my best guess would be the size of the earth; however I believe that would cause airship travel to be much faster than whats listed in the airship travel table. I personally do not recommend to approach airship travel in terms of realism but rather what would be fun for your players or offer the best narrative. Would it be more fun to explore a large world full of wonders and adventure or would it be much more convenient for your players to zip across entire continents in a matter of days? Or would you want a balance of both? This airship table is designed with a massive scale in mind but the scale of the world is always up to the GM, its YOUR game. You could have npcs offer their private Aether Streamers that are much faster than the usual passenger airship in rare circumstances, or perhaps they could catch a ride on a slow cargo ship for a discount. This table below is only a suggestion and you can always alter it to the way you feel is right or the most fun for your players.

Airships

Airships are miracles of the Eorzean skyscape—flying vessels born from the ingenuity and ambition behind the Garlean Empire's most advanced technologies. The airships of the realm's free nations most commonly achieve flight by either one of two means—large balloons of hide and cloth filled with gases less dense than the surrounding air, or wings of magitek making, made to beat by powerful ceruleum-burning engines. Despite whatever technological simliarities they may share, however, the realm's vessels are easily distinguishable on sight from the enormous and sinister juggernauts of Garlemald—armored monstrosities designed for the sole purpose of destruction.

By pioneering the sky routes between the realm's major cities and establishing regular flights along them, Highwind Skyways, an institution founded by the exorbitantly wealthy aristocrat and adventurer Tatanora, is now slowly but surely making commercial flight an ordinary aspect of everyday life in Eorzea. Even so, only a few airships are permitted to take flight at any given time, for the Garlean Empire is always watching, ready to strike at the first sight of an enemy vessel.

They are currently only located in the major cities such as Gridania, Ul'dah, Limsa Lominsa, Ishgard, and now Ala Mhigo. However its current leader Tatabaru is looking into expanding his business and is now selling his airships to businesses, free companies, and adventurers with a lot of gil.

Boats

       - Credit to Alessio
Long before the invention of airships, the people of Eorzea and beyond conquered the open sea with more traditional waterborne vessels. So important are water travels to Eorzeans that they have elected one of their deities, Llymlaen the Navigator, to patron of the seafarers. Indeed, the very city of Limsa Lominsa was founded by a group of defeated sailors aboard a ship whose name fell into legend: the Galadion.

Nowadays travel via boats is less dominant, contended by their airborne sisters - but the existing network of docks, piers and sea routes is far from dismissed and is still in full activity. Ferries from all over Eorzea bridge the short distances, but while preferred for brief, interregional travels, larger passenger ships depart from the docks of Limsa Lominsa to reach the remote shores of Othard.

Chapter 2: The City States

City of Gridania

Located in the midst of the Black Shroud, a dense forest also known as the Twelveswoods that serves to filter out those hostile to the elements and those in coorperation with them. Gridania is by far the most unified of the city-states. Its guilds all work in cooperation with each other under the guiding hand of Kan-E-Senna, who brought back the Order of the Twin Adder.

Gridanian Factions

Merchants and Guilds

Notable NPCs

The Black Shroud

also known as the Twelveswood, or Tinolqa to the Ixal, is a region in Central Aldenard. It is the forest region surrounding the city-state of Gridania. The forest itself is known to take the lives of anyone who does not heed the Elementals, a danger often referred to as the "woodwrath". This makes it a natural filter against those who would bear arms against Gridania, though that hasn't stopped the Ixal, Ala Mhigo, or Garlemald from trying.

It is connected to Thanalan to the south, Mor Dhona to the southwest, and Coerthas to the northwest. A large wall currently blocks off neighboring Gyr Abania in the east.

Central Shroud

Levels 1-4

Central Shroud, as the name implies, lies at the heart of the Black Shroud. It is situated to the south of the city-state of Gridania, on the other side of the Jadeite Flood.

This zone connects to East Shroud through Greentear, to North Shroud through the Standing Corses, and to South Shroud through Bentbranch. The Blue Badger Gate and White Wolf Gate connect to New Gridania.

Spiggan Dig

A dig into the crater located at the Standing Corses. What exactly the spriggans are digging for is a mystery.

Random Encounters and Hazards

At the beginning of a journey, either the DM or the players could roll for either a Hazard or for a Encounter.

If they roll either a 1 or a 20, you can then refer to the Hazards table.

If they roll from a 2 to 19, you can then roll again at the Random Encounter table

For a Level 1 group, please be very cautious with rolling a dice for the amount of monsters. Instead of rolling, consider with having a set amount of monsters.

Sorrel Haven

• Section is credit to Sleight The Clown

A large plateau high above the rest of Central Shroud, connected only by a massive treebranch. Its most noticable landmark is Haukke Manor, a building infested with voidsent and an aura of evil that scares off most travelers. Of course, many adventurers would see this as an open invitation...

When your players explore Sorrel Haven, roll a d6 or pick from the table to see what events may be happening in the area today. You can do this alongside or in place of the random encounters of Central Shroud.

Actions

Multiattack. The roseling has ambidextrous control overs its vines and poison and acid sacs. It can make any of these three attacks per turn

Poison Sac. The roseling frond chooses one creature it can see within 5 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 hour. While poisoned in this way, the target is unconscious. At the end of each minute, the poisoned target can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Acid Sac. The tri-flower frond chooses one creature it can see within 5 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 11 Dexterity saving throw, or it is covered with corrosive sap and takes 5 acid damage at the start of each of its turns. Dousing the target with water reduces the acid damage by 1 point per pint or flask of water used.

Tentacle Whip. Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 2 (1d4) piercing damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 11). Until this grapple ends, the target takes 5 (2d4) poison damage at the start of each of its turns. The red blossom can grapple only one target at a time. Another creature within reach of the roseling frond can use its action to end the grapple on the target.

Roseling

Roselings are a slow plant-like creature that feasts on any scrap that it could find it's hands on; albeit a dead corpse or a rotting plant. It has an aggressive digestive system and uses acid to break down food that is too large to fit in its mouth. FC

The basis of its stat-block is based on the Tri-Flower Frond from the Tomb of Anhiliation p234

City of Limsa Lominsa

On the southern coast of the island of Vylbrand, under the shadow of ancient cliffs worn by the relentless onslaught of the Rhotano Sea, lies the marine city-state of Limsa Lominsa. Said to be blessed by the goddess of navigation, Llymlaen, the city is spread out over countless tiny islands, each connected by sturdy bridges of iron and wood construction, earning her the name the "Navigator's Veil" from traveling bards who have witnessed the city's beauty from afar.

Limsa Lominsa is a traditional thalassocracy, with power lying in the hands of the ruling party and its leader—Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn. Its economy is driven by shipbuilding, fishing, and blacksmithing, but the majority of wealth comes from the lucrative shipping industry.

To maintain the safety of its maritime routes, the city employs a formidable navy known as the Knights of the Barracuda, but even in the waters nearby the city, pirate bands run rampant, raving and pillaging. Admiral Merlwyb reinstated The Maelstrom to combine the forces of the Knights, conscripted pirates, and adventurers into a land-and-sea army to combat the Garlean Empire and the encroaching Sahagin of the Indigo Deep.

Chapter 3: Adventures

In Eorzea there are endless oppurtunities for adventure. We will be featuring some of the peoples works and adventures with a quick summary. You can also rework current D&D adventures and place it in a FFXIV setting. The majorty of this chapter is Fan Creation FC.

Reworked D&D Adventures

In this section we will be looking at ways of implementing adventures from Adventure Books to make the GM's job easy. We will be placing the adventures in the right setting, location, and with replacing mobs to those that are most relevant. This is categorized per adventure book and below that would be a chapter from that book. GM's can always use their discretion to what makes the most sense.

Core of Dalamud's Shard

At the top of the tower lies the core of the shard, the core has an opening where a person could fit inside, The Siren would inject herself in to provide her a temporary surge of power. The Core has AC10 and 35 hit points It is immune to necrotic, poison, psychic damage, and it has resistance to piercing damage. The core has vulnerability to earth damage.
Crystal Thralls. If a humanoid is charmed by The Siren or if they touch the tower , over the next 24 hours the victim will get a strong desire to return to the crystal to absorbed by it. Once the victim is completely absorbed into the crystal, the victim becomes a Thrall to The Siren, and is expelled over the course of 1 hour. Dalmud's Shard can have only four thralls at any one time. A victim’s skin is becomes yellowish, transparent, and crystal-like. A thrall is totally corrupted, becoming neutral evil. Such a creature exists only to serve The Siren. It possesses all of its former abilities and gains the following traits:
Crystalskin. The thrall’s AC can’t be lower than 16.
Crystal Thrall If the core is destroyed, the thrall dies 24 hours later, if The Siren dies the thrall is pacified and will wander until a lightning aspected Primal lay claims to it.

The Siren

FC - The lighthouse keeper who used to be called Krysrael is a Roegadyn thaumature who was struck by the shard. Instead of dying, she found herself infused with lightning energy and the ability to control those who go near the tower. Her goal is to create more servants so that she could experiment with life. Prior to being the keeper, she was outcasted by the Thaumaturge guild for experimenting with infusing life with elemental energy; this is shunned because it could create tempering and is playing with primal energy. Since she didn't technically break any rules, she was exiled to be the lighthouse keeper and put her skills to use the lightning shards to power the lighthouse.

Interaction with The Siren

When the characters arrive, The Siren will loudly announce, “Lay down your arms, I wish to speak to you for a moment” If the characters engage her in conversation, she can share the following information:

Chapter 4: Miscellaneous

This chapter covers anything else

Very Rare Materia

Legendary Materia

Materia Overdrive

"You notice some magical fissures on your wand after you withdraw some aether from the materia to speed up your spell. You suspect that using it again will break the wand"

• Player: "I would like to use it again"
• DM: "Roll an Arcana check to see if you succeed"

• Player rolls a 10, the wand breaks

• Alternatively , Player rolls a 16, they were able to extract just enough aether to surge their mind with quickness and the wand remains intact

Materia overdrive is an attempt to push its materia power past its limit. This can only be used on materia that has a daily limit, depending on the type of materia the DM can put a difficulty check to pass or else the item would break. The type of check would be specific to the item itself; for example, Quicktongue would need an arcana check, and Knight's Oath could either be an acrobatics check or a constitution check.

Downtime Activities

Hydaelyn is a rich world full of history and traditions passed down by many generations. There is plenty of fun and downtime activities to be had across the world. We have outlined here seasonal events which includes holidays, and the place known as The Golden Saucer which is a place designated for gambling, cactpot, chocobo racing, and games with prizes

All Saints' Wake

• Date: Fifth Umbral Moon (Oct)
• Real World Equivalent: Halloween

From FFXIV Fandom Wiki - "Legend has it that, once a year, the Twelve honor the saints by hosting a lavish feast in the heavens. While the saints are away, however, the realm is bereft of their divine protection, and creatures of darkness come out in droves. Fearing for their lives, the people took to shutting themselves inside their homes. Those who had no choice but to venture outside disguised themselves as fiends, in hopes that they would go unnoticed by the real ones.

That's all in the past now, for these days there are valorous adventurers to keep the cities safe while the saints are away. Having no more reason to be afraid, the people turned All Saints' Wake into a fun celebration.""

Starlight Celebration

• Date: Sixth Umbral Moon (Dec)
• Real World Equivalent: Christmas
• Origin : Ishgard
• Celebrated : Throughout Eorzea

From Final Fantasy Wiki - "The tradition of the Starlight Celebration dates from several generations ago to have began in Coerthas during the beginning days of the Dragonsong War, the series of battles between the Knights of Ishgard and the Dravanian Horde having left thousands homeless with the Ishgardian children forced to endure in the land's chilling winds. But each night, a handful of Ishgardian knights would seek these children and offer them room within their company barracks. As this act of kindness was strictly forbidden by the knight's charter, these kind men and women, many being once orphans themselves, would conceal the children beneath the red jackets of their uniforms.

After several months, the fighting eventually subsided during one of the Dragonsong War's ceasefires and the incident was soon forgotten. However, a group of former orphans gathered together years later to pay tribute to the knights who rescued them so none would ever forgot their remarkable deeds. During the coldest weeks of each year, they would dress up in brilliant scarlet uniforms and pass out gifts to the children of the realm, passing along the happiness that they once received on a starlit night long ago.""

The Gold Saucer

A hub of gambling located in Southern Thanalan. Owned by the Manderville family, this place houses many different minigames such as Doman Mahjong, Triple Triad, Chocobo racing, and others that you could earn prizes or gil. It has a Cactuar known as Senor Sabotender as the official mascot of the park.

Doman Mahjong

From the official website "The ancient Doman game of mahjong joins the entertainment on offer at the Gold Saucer. Face off against your fellow adventurers or practice against automata, and hone your strategies to triumph in this contest of wits!"

This game is based on the real-world counterpart known as Riichi Mahjong. For game rules you could either look up standard Riichi Mahjong rules online or look at the official rules here from the FFXIV website. If you wish for your adventurers to play this game you could bring a real mahjong set to play with the DM or just go with the quick summarized dice version below.

For playing a summarized dice version here are the rules.

Cactpot

The FFXIV equivalent of the lottery ticket. When purchasing a Jumbo Cactpot ticket, simply pick any four digits, each between one and nine, to be used for that week's lottery. Each person can only have a maximum of three tickets. The numbers are announced at the last day of the week. Standard cost of entry is 5 gil (or 5 MGP) but this can be adjusted by the DM.

The DM can roll a D10 for each digit to have the final cactpot result.

The results are announced in The Golden Saucer at noon. For world-building flavor, a DM could consider making the announcements at each City-state capital and could have the tickets be enchanted with a spell that could announce that you are a winner if you have a winning combo.

Here is an example prize pool that an DM can adjust

Other Gambling Games

There are a ton others of gambling games that you can include in your world. One popular option is from Critical Role which has the world and game rules written up by Matthew Mercer. I found a list of games and rules that were summarized by Geek and Sundry and you can check out those games here.

Chocobo Racing

Since the chocobo is the most common method of transporation, it is not uncommon to see Chocobo Racing events and tournaments popping up across Eorzea. The most prevalent and daily location holding these races is near The Golden Saucer.

Appendix A: Mob Stats

Bombs

• Entire section is credit to Nate_Ranney

A bomb's temper is as hot as the arid lands which they tend to inhabit. Upon seeing an enemy, they will indiscriminately start belching out flames. While a bomb may start out around 1 fulm – not much bigger than a Hyur's head – witnesses have claimed to see them grow to the size of a small mountain in their rage. Legend even tells of a town completely blown away by a single Bomb!

Bombs are the weakest of the genus of bombs native to the void, and also the least dangerous to deal with. They resemble little floating balls of fire, as if about to explode at any moment.

Ogres

Though their body and gait are like to a man, nathless ogres are thin of wit, and lack of cunning, and speak no words but gruntings and lowings. Yet, as much as kind taketh from them in wit, it rewardeth them with quantity of body. Wherefore though he be high of body he is weak of virtue, and his heart is tarred with woodness. There are two varieties of Ogres among the voidsent ogres. The flame bodied Hapalit, and the lightning generating bolthorn

Stench. Any creature that starts its turn within 10 feet of the malboro must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or >be poisoned until the start of its next turn. On a successful saving throw, the creature is immune to the malboro’s stench for 24 >hours.

Actions

Multiattack. The malboro makes three attacks: two with its tentacles and one with its bite.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack:+7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 18 (3d8 + 4) piercing damage plus 9 (2d8) poison damage.

Tentacle. Melee Weapon Attack:+7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. Hit: 15 (2d10 + 4) bludgeoning damage. Bad Breath (Recharge 5-6). The malboro exhales a cloud of nauseating gas in a 40-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 36 (8d8) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. On a failed save, a creature is also poisoned for 1 minute. While poisoned in this way, a creature takes 5 (1d8) poison damage at the start of each of its turns and must spend its action retching and reeling. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Creatures that do not need to breathe or are immune to poison automatically succeed on this saving throw.

---

Solitary Sprouts. If anything good can be said about malboros, it is the fact that they are solitary by nature. Malboros are territorial creatures, and will drive off or kill others of their kind. They also view shambling mounds as rivals and will try to eliminate any that encroach upon their territory.

Ravenous Horrors. A malboro does not photosynthesize like a normal plant, instead deriving all its nutrients from the creatures it devours. During daylight hours it will seek out and consume any animal smaller than itself, digesting them within its disgusting maw. At night the malboro plants its tentacles into the ground and becomes dormant.

Goobbue

• Credit to Avid

A goobbue is a lumbering beast that has a symbiotic relationship with the moss and lichen growing atop its head. This growth provides the creature with a measure of camouflage, and, in return, the goobbue keeps the vegetation moist during the drier seasons with water scooped up in its hands. Though seemingly placid, the goobbue is a relentless predator, snatching up anything that skitters or crawls and shoveling it into its cavernous mouth. On average, Goobbue stand at about 20 fulms, or 6 meters tall. They typically live in the La Noscea and Thanalan territories

Elementals

 - Credit to Nate_Ranney
Elementals are essentially spirits by another name and appear to be made of pure aether. They are found across Eorzea but are most prominent in The Black Shroud, a forest said to be created for them specifically by Nophica. They are revered by the citizenry of Gridania and it is by their grace that the city-state continues to exist. The seedseers maintain communication to them to this effect.
Some elementals may appear corrupt and others appear as mischievous sprites. It is these forms of lesser elementals that are most commonly engaged in combat.

Pieste

 - Credit to Nate_Ranney
The peiste and it's cousin the basilisk is a large scalekin common to most regions of Aldenard. As is the case with many others in the scalekin family, peistes are swift to respond to any percieved intrusion of their territory with unrestrained ferocity. Doubtless owing to their size and savagery, these creatures are oft depicted in religious allegory as the incarnation of evil, most notably in the famous tale, "Saint Daniffen and the Basilisk."

Peistes never stop growing, and those that live long enough eventually grow into a Dire Peiste, much larger and tougher than the younger members of their species, they are indeed a threat to many fledgling adventurers. Though thankfully, due to their aggressive nature, and their valuable eyes that are used to make jewelry and magical items, few live long enough to grow into a dire peiste.

Mantis

As mantis sightings in Eorzea coincide with the time period in which Lalafellin settlers from the south arrived in Vylbrand, it has been concluded that the giant insectivorous vilekin (also found in abundance in the Lalafell's homelands) were unintentionally brought over by the Plainsfolk - eggsacs most likely attached to the reeds from which the clan wove its sea ships.

Beasts of the Beastmen: Drakes

Most of the beast tribes have a creature of their tribe with which they use as mounts, attack animals, or livestock. For the Amalj'aa it is the drakes. Less intelligent and deadly than the true dragons of Midgardsormr's line, but still deadly in their own right, Red Guard Drakes are the Amalj'aa's favored creature for obvious reasons. Training a drake is a long and arduous process that begins the moment the scalekin hatches. Never allowed to see its mother, the creature is raised solely in the presence of a drake whisperer while being weaned on the incendiary glands of aged battle drakes to ensure it is both submissive and deadly.

Ixal

• Entire section credit to Avid

From Final Fantasy Wiki
Ixal are a race of bird-like Beastmen who worship the primal Garuda. Though they are mostly found in the highlands of Coerthas and the unseen Xelphatol, their frequent excursions into the northern Black Shroud has drawn them into conflict with Gridania.

The Ixal are lithe in stature, and feature horns and a toothed beak. For reasons unknown, after their exile from the Black Shroud, new generations of Ixal have lacked pinion feathers. Having lost their ability to fly, they use balloons for transporting cargo throughout mountain passes. Their main stronghold is Natalan, located east of Camp Dragonhead in the Coerthas Highlands. As befitting their reverence for the Lady of Vortexes, the Ixal have an affinity to using wind magic, and her blessings power the airstones that guide their airships.

Rivenroad: Nael's Lair

The Final confrontation of Nael lies on Rivenroad, an ancient Allagan site floating above the clouds. When Dalamud's Beacon is active, it begins the process of activating the Ancient Forbidden Magic: Meteor. As long as the beacon remains active, Dalamud draws closer to Eorzea. Rivenroad is a series of floating islands held aloft by old magic circles, and Dalamud's beacon. The main island is 160 feet, with floating steps spiraling up 120 feet in length to a smaller 60 foot island floating 80 feet above. Should Dalamud's beacon be destroyed, the island crumbles to the ground far below.

Regional Effects

The region around Rivenroad is warped by Dalamud's influence, creating the following effects.

• Dalamud darkens the sky with dark clouds and red lightning, while a rough barrier winds buffet around a 1 mile radius of Rivenroad, making flight near difficult for most creatures and vehicles save for Garlean Airships. Creaures within the winds have disadvantage on Percetption (Wis) checks, and after each hour spent in the winds, a creature must make a dc 14 constitution saving throw or suffer one point of exhaustion.

• Rivenroad warps the gravity around it, drawing in any Lunar Fragment falling within a 1 mile radius towards the islands. Every 5 minutes within a 5 mile radius of the island, Lunar Fragments rain down on the area below Rivenroad, as per Nael's lair actions.

• The Elder Primal slumbering within Dalamud is stirring, and his rage calls out and minorly tempers local creatures. All creatures not gifted with the Echo must make a DC 15 Charisma Saving throw at the end of each Long Rest. Any creature that fails this save cannot distinguish friend from foe and attacks indiscriminitely ranting about Evil unrestrained Allagans, decietful ascians, and vengeance for the Brood. This teperment ends when a creature copletes a long rest outside the radius of Rivenroad.

The Imperial Garlean Army

Magitek Armor

Imperial magitek armor is usually reserved for imperial officers.

Predator-class

The most recent model in the Empire's line of piloted magitek armor. Though based on the Reaper-class design, the Predator-class has been outfitted with bladed arms to improve its close-quarter combat capabilities and also features simplified armor plating for enhanced mobility.

Sky-class

An airborne unit constructed to accommodate a single pilot, sky armor is designed for maximum maneuverability. Previous flying models such as the juggernaut had, by necessity, been built on an enormous scale, but by implementing the advances made in the invention of the reaper, imperial engineers have succeeded in creating significantly smaller vessels.

The Primals

Creatures created out of excess aether, desperation, and prayer. Their never ending appetite for aether will make them stop at nothing to claim others for power.
They typically mimic mythological figures of a society and gain some of their attributes. These creatures will be listed in order: Normal, Hard, Very Hard and the challange rating will depend on the primal itself.
