Vylbrand rises from the waves of the Rhotano Sea, and beneath the worn and ancient cliffs on its south shore stands the maritime city-state of Limsa Lominsa. A beautiful and wondrous sight, the city perches upon pillars of rock and reef that jut out from the bay. Townsfolk pass between these areas on long bridges, and so thrive above the seas.
Governance
Lominsans choose their leader in the Trident, a competition held once every seven years. The strongest of pirate crews run this multi-pronged race, and whosoever croses the finish line first becomes an admiral, the head of the maritime city-state. Afforded sweeping powers over Limsa Lominsa, new admirals will often drastically alter existing policies- and with it, change the course of the city-state.
Culture
Religion
As one might expect for a maritime city-state, Lominsans revere Llymlaen, watcher of the seas and goddess of navigation. True believers make pilgrimages to the mark of the Navigator before they set sail, and upon their safe return to port. The worship of Llymlaen has roots in a loose collection of local beliefs, however, and thus cannot be thought of as a formal religion. Indeed, the Navigator has no grand temples nor clergy to Her name in Limsa, save the odd bethel overlooking the endless seas. Instead, each man keeps his own faith within his home through prayer and humble ritual.
