Ishgard

Ishgard (イシュガルド, Ishugarudo?), more properly The Holy See of Ishgard, is a city-state in Final Fantasy XIV located in the harsh snowfields of Coerthas, in northern Aldenard.

Ishgard is at war with the dragons of neighboring Dravania, and much of their military is made up of Dragoons. They are reluctant to join the Eorzean Alliance against the Garlean Empire, as they lack the unoccupied manpower. They are the leading provider of Eorzea's chocobos, and refused to deliver any to the other city-states due to the chocobo blight that lasted from the game's launch until patch 1.19. Ishgard later becomes accessible in the Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward expansion.
