You thought I was done with Eorzea? Oh no no no no no.....

I have taken it upon myself to fill up EVERY last corner of this map with SOMETHING. Starting with the 1.4 update, which has added all the beast tribe areas (this is set well after Endwalker, part of why I've upgraded the spoiler warning to 6.X along with the hints at a Shadowbringers location in the Sahagin area). Like always, map is inspired by u/Dancer-Kupliana's work.
Map heavily uses headcanons to fill out beast tribe areas where canonical information is lacking.
Pre-emptive FAQ:
- That's not canon! What's the source for that?
I made it the fuck up.

Why does X tribe have settlements listed when they're nomadic?
I tend to abstract "nomadic" cultures to a sort of "settlements that different groups of people move in and out of" type deal. Additionally, the Xaela are nomadic, but settlements are shown on the Azim Steppe map.
Amaurot was completely destroyed by Calamities, so what's the deal with the Blind City/Blind Abyss references?
Technically a coincidence in-universe, but I personally imagine that legends of a lost city that sunk beneath the waves and was forgotten, ESPECIALLY in Vylbrandic and Sahagin spheres where they'd be near the former location, would have survived, even if any remnants of the actual city didn't.
There aren't any sylphs there!
What else did you want me to put there? The Emerald Sylphs are cool!
That's not how Sahagin society works in canon!
Frick how Sahagin society works in canon. It's the "queen" archetype.
Why is O'Ghomoro more detailed than the other areas?
For O'Ghomoro in particular I sorta wanted an "anti-La Noscea", as that was one of my original concepts for how O'Ghomoro would be as a location. So I've treated it like an ARR region rather than an expansion zone.
What areas will you be doing next?
Yafaem and southern Dravania, as well as Carteneau. 1.6 will have the Pearls and the Farreach (the Orn Wild will be left blank of settlements, as in canon, but will have some mountains and natural features listed). Then it's onto the Othard map.
