The entrance to Idyllshire.
Idyllshire (イディルシャイア, Idirushaia?), pronounced as (I·dull·shy·er), is a location in the Dravanian Hinterlands, introduced in Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward.
Founded by a band of treasure hunters and goblin migrants, it is located at the northern edge of the abandoned city of Sharlayan, just beyond the Cenotaph. In terms of gameplay, it serves as Heavensward's version of Revenant's Toll, housing the endgame vendors.
Story[]
The Aetheryte square in Idyllshire.
In the waning years of the Sixth Astral Era, five years after the fall of Ala Mhigo when the Garlean Empire restarted their Eorzean conquest, the scholars of Sharlayan decided to evacuate their settlement in the Dravanian Hinterlands. The city was abandoned in a mass exodus to their motherland in the north, leaving behind buildings and many artifacts.
Over the next fifteen years the site would attract treasure hunters to the remote Dravania wilderness in hopes of salvaging the city's relics. This included the nomadic goblins, who for unclear reasons decided to stay. Making an arrangement with other treasure hunters, they founded a settlement called Idyllshire.
The Warrior of Light, Alphinaud Leveilleur and Y'shtola Rhul arrive at the hinterlands in search of the latter's mentor, Matoya, who did not participate in the exodus. As a major bridge over the Thaliak River is broken, they try another path by the arch called the Cenotaph. They encounter Slowfix, the leader of the settlement. Though initially taken aback by the squatters in the old city of learning, the leader of the treasure hunters, Midnight Dew, clears up any misunderstanding.
The goblins agree to let them cross the river in exchange for some favors, including rescuing Brayflox Alltalks from a confrontation with the Illuminati.

Etymology[]
[view · edit · purge]Shire is an old English word for "county". Idyll refers to something charmingly simple or rustic. This choice of name may have also been a pun on the word "idle," as Idyllshire was also designed as a place where many endgame players would likely be idling while playing.
