Ilsabard, the area still covered by clouds on the world map.
We visit the northern Empire regions, which managed to avoid the civil war because they had their own government in place.
They refused to send help to Garlemald before because they didn't agree with Zenos or any of the factions trying to take over and wanted to distance themselves from all the bullshit, including the rest of Eorzea. They don't like outsiders.
We travel there in the first place looking for some other macguffin that when combined with the azem key will allow opening a portal to a specific reflection.
