This title is awarded to those Grand Company members who have displayed exceptional performance in service of the Maelstrom. It is hoped that recognizing outstanding individuals in this manner will not only improve company morale, but also provide further motivation for all who fight under the crimson standard.


* Players whose names are displayed under "Last Week's Heroes" and "Yesterday's Heroes" will not reappear in the same list for a certain duration, regardless of total company seals accumulated, in order to better recognize the efforts of a wider range of individuals.




As it has been since the ill-fated Galadion grounded off the coast of Vylbrand countless generations past, the leader of Limsa Lominsa has borne the title Admiral, for she not only commands the thalassocracy, but also the armada that defends it. Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn is the latest to take the city-state's helm, and she brings with her an impressive list of laurels, such as the discovery of a safe route across the Indigo Deep to the recently discovered western continent, and the unprecedented sinking of an "invincible" fleet dispatched by the northern nations beyond the Bloodbrine Sea.

She is honest and steadfast in her ways, but at the same time can prove stubborn and uncompromising. And though once a pirate of high standing herself, upon becoming Admiral, she has gone out of her way to impose strict regulations on piracy within the thalassocracy, drawing the ire of nearly every brigand crew hailing out of Limsa Lominsa. Her reinstatement of the Maelstrom, and the power it is granted over the city-state's privately owned vessels, is viewed as but another measure to tighten her grip on the nation.

Motto: Impossible is a word coined by the weak.
Weapons: Death Penalty and Annihilator─two muskets rumored to have once been wielded by the infamous pirate king, Mistbeard.






Past Issues

The foremost paper in Limsa Lominsa, reporting on matters of pertinence and currency to seafarers. From the haughty bluster of pirates to far-reaching developments in foreign diplomacy, The Harbor Herald never fails to put into port with the day's haul of fresh tidings. Based in the hub of trade upon the five seas, no other paper can claim the same wealth of knowledge in international affairs.

The Harbor Herald
The Raven
The Mythril Eye
Connecting all lands and peoples in her everlasting embrace, the sea bears to Limsa Lominsa the wisdom and voices of a thousand shores. In today’s edition, The Harbor Herald reports from our nation’s docks, which recently saw the combined Lominsan fleet launched ahead of what may be the final confrontation against the Garlean Empire.

Lominsan Fleet Makes Sail
The morning mist shrouded the Lominsan docks, lending shape to the air of tension that reigned supreme. Arrayed in splendid black livery and wearing a look of mythril resolve, Chief Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn strode up the gangway to take her place aboard the Triumph, the mighty galleass serving as the Maelstrom’s flagship.
Lovingly wrought by the master shipwrights of Naldiq & Vymelli’s, the newly christened vessel smelled of fresh paint and promise. Upon her yet spotless deck, beneath the rippling dragon galley ensign, stood score upon score of our nation’s stalwart defenders, who saluted their commander-in-chief as she performed the customary inspection. Nodding to them in acknowledgement, the Chief Admiral then bellowed the order to weigh anchor, her powerful voice piercing the solemn silence. So it was that the Triumph made sail to join her 28-strong fleet comprised of warships from the Maelstrom, the Lominsan Armada, and myriad pirating crews.

Bound for Destiny
Even as I put quill to parchment, this combined Lominsan fleet is en route to Vesper Bay, the maritime gateway to Thanalan, bearing a burden of soldiers. Upon making landfall, the Lominsans will merge with the forces of the Immortal Flames and the Order of the Twin Adder. Maelstrom officials have been tight-lipped about their plans thereafter, but all evidence suggests that the allied army will then march for the Carteneau Flats in Mor Dhona, where the VIIth Imperial Legion is presently entrenched. It would seem the final confrontation between the Eorzean Alliance and the Garlean Empire is just beyond the horizon.

As the main Lominsan host traverses the Strait of Merlthor on its way to the fields of reckoning, a second is in the midst of being assembled. At the heart of this auxiliary force is the Foreign Levy, the Maelstrom unit formed of adventurers and specializing in land warfare. Thus far in the conflict, adventurers have been instrumental in dealing with Garlean presence across the realm. With their strength joined to the main host, the Maelstrom will reach the zenith of its might—the least we will need if we are to smite the imperial invaders once and for all.

I urge all Lominsans to join together in prayer for the good fortune and safe return of our fighting men and women. May the Navigator guide them to the shores of victory!
