Greetings, Warriors of Light & Lore,

Luxpheras here, beyond excited to talk about the Encyclopædia Eorzea: The World of FINAL FANTASY XIV - Volume II... and share some previews!

It's been two years since our first official lore book was released, and the second iteration contains a whopping 304 pages of newly compiled information. Written by Banri Oda, Michael-Christopher Koji Fox and Natsuko Ishikawa, the Encyclopædia Eorzea Volume II will be released on November 24th, 2018.

Without further ado, let's dive into some of the pages.

The Second Book: Her Tales - Follow the continuing history of Eorzea and her allies, and its culmination in the liberation of Doma and Ala Mhigo from the Garlean Empire.

The Third Book: Her Lands - Visit the regions of Gyr Abania and the Far East, their unique peoples and cultures, their landmarks.

The Fourth Book: Her Servants - Become acquainted with the era's most prominent players and the organizations to which they belong.

The Fifth Book: Her Bounds - Explore the realm's darkest and most dangerous locales, from the caverns of Vylbrand to the abysmal depths of Othard's Ruby Tide.

The Sixth Book: Her Designs - Unlock the secrets of trades once forgotten while marveling at the myriad martial wonders mankind has forged.

The Seventh Book: Her Burdens - Discover the mysteries of the Far East's more unique races and the mighty deities they worship.

The Eighth Book: Her Creatures - Encounter all manner of marvelous myths and monsters who call Hydaelyn their home.

How about that for a preview? There's so much information contained on eleven pages alone, can you imagine what more can be gleaned from the remaining 293?!

As if that wasn't exciting enough, the Encyclopædia Eorzea Volume II will come with a bonus item code for an in-game item as well: Matoya's Hat!

You'll look absolutely scholarly. "The wider the brim, the broader your horizons!" - Matoya (Probably).
