Modern History of Thanalan - FFXIV Lore Talks

[@linkblade0]

You should have brought up the event that players did happened in 1.0 that was added as part of the lore of Uldah. The 'Great Gobbue Wall'. During the days leading up to the calamity, several players worked to defend Uldah from the rising tide of monsters and Garleans. At one point forming together in front of the gates to Uldah riding the Gobbue mount, while the devs and GMs would spawn in raid mobs to try and take them out. It wound up becoming canon and being included in lore books and a few NPCs mention it in game

i knew of the wall but didn't know it was canonized! that's so awesome 😭

I never actually knew what the Sasamo story was. How brutal.

These were very informative. Any plans on making an episode or two on Garlemald? As a new player to FF14 i greatly appreciate this video; Podcasty format, alot of real world analogies etc. As a fan of history I like it alot. It reminds me of stuff like Dan Carlin or Lars Brownworth stuff. This is basically the Radio Westeros of FF14, I hope to see alot more of it.

Oh it’s for sure coming. We are finishing up two on the black aground and one on Vylbrand but after that Allag and Garlemald are next!

I always thought uldah was inspired by Persian and Eastern Roman traditions. Both were heavily mercantile nations who depending on who their leaders were, were extremely plutocratic. Often using mercenaries to fight their wars when for one reason or another when Their professional armies were not available. And the cut throat political system of uldah sounds very Byzantium to me. But I am also not super well versed in Egyptian history.
