This is part one of a two part series explaining the history and practices of the starter city-states! These videos take a lot of time, research and work so I really hope you enjoy them. I’ll be making sure part two comes out at a reasonable time on my end, enjoy!

Wooo!!
Ooh another Synodic Scribe lecture.
Saunters in with algorithm pleasing comment
Sometimes, very occasionally, I forget how dark the history of each city-state truly can be. Thank you for that reminder, that we might reflect on these errors in the hopes of avoiding them in future.
Ul’dah a nation where people have turned sand into gold also with some very dark history witch is what i love about this nation
wow i didn't really know anything about Ul'dah's history. That shit was dark.
I REALLY love the dedication, hard work and awesome lore that this channel provides about the game. The videos are all very masterfully made and are full of great information.
So, I’m going to record my thoughts here. The first thought was “Oh wow I had no idea that Aethericyte crytal network had such a history and danger.” My character might be a little more hesitant about using them. I don’t always use them because sometimes I do prefer to run and admire the scenery.
But I admit that I knew the horrific fate of Sil’Dah at the hands of the undead plague. But I didn’t know that the location of Ul’dah was built on that site. And I freely admit that history plays a part in why Ul’dah is my least favourite city or city-state in FF14 that I’ve been to so far. But there are other reasons such asthat I don’t like the Syndicate having the real authority. If a group of citizens are to rule then it needs to be a fair sampling of the population. Rich, poor, noble, commoner, merchant or people from all the castes, and racially balanced. Lalafell, Hyur and every race that has a decent population in Ul’dah by percentage. I don’t like the obsession of money and tying it into a measure of someone’s worth. Oh and how I hate the corruption that permeates it at every level. All that being said it’s still an interesting place.
Limsa Lominsa is my favourite but with Gridania not far behind. Since I’m only lvl 66 Smn, Sch and Whm in the early stage of Stormblood I can’t yet judge places like Doma or Ala Mhigo.
But judging from what I’ve heard about other places I seriously doubt that I’d like Sharlaya
What happened to the Capital of Ul'dah that was being used before moving onto the old Capital?
Always such good content. It is soul crushing to see you not as popular as you should be. Please keep making content. Take care of you first though!
I was always confused about the part of history with the Thorne Dynasty. Glad to hear you explain that part and how the Ul line continued from there.
