well as we are Exploring here is what i saw when i travelled to the north of Gridania, or rather to find a way to Ul'dath (yes found out it was to the south heh) but didn't know the way, so just headed that way,
when I got to the next zone and looked at the map, I saw the word Ishgard at the upper left corner and thought, ohh well why not go there so I did, making sure to avoid anything that looked the slightest more dangerous than the squirrels that ran about along the road,
(yes they look very alike the Marmots that can be found around Gridania)
After a long run i came upon a Big Stone Bridge
after I passed it I saw some stone houses in the hill sides
and after another very long run I finally got to the Gate of Ishgard
and here is a Picture of Ishgard from afar, yes that gate from before was closed
looked at the map again and saw to the north west a keep of some sort and this is what i found there, it's completely empty.
here is some pics of the animals i meet along the way, especially like the black Ewe heh
