Ishgard

The Holy See of Ishgard is a city-state in Final Fantasy XIV located in the harsh snowfields of Coerthas, in northern Aldenard. Ishgard was at war with the dragons of neighboring Dravania, and much of their military is made up of Dragoons.
In the central region of Abalathia's Spine, that great mountain range that spans Aldenard from east to west can be found the forbidding highlands of Coerthas and the Holy See of Ishgard. Faced with ever more aggressive attacks from its serpentine foes, as well as an unprecedented spell of bitter cold following the Calamity, the theocracy's days are dark indeed. Nevertheless, the city-state proper is warded with a layer of wards known as Daniffen's Collar to prevent direct assault from their draconic adversaries. The city-state's only known access point is a bridge called the Steps of Faith, blocked off by the Gate of Judgement. Not too long ago, adventurers were forbidden from entering the city walls, though local garrisons at the Observatorium, Camp Dragonhead, and Whitebrim Front maintain services for travelers and may seek their aid.
The city itself is divided into two known districts: Foundation at the bottom, and The Pillars above. Foundation appears to be home to lower class citizens, and exhibits scarring from war with visible damage to the stone structure. The Pillars is comparatively cleaner, with open-air plazas.
