The Outlook

About

Situated in the middle of the Coerthas Western Highlands amongst ruins and trees, The Outlook is a strangely technologically advanced bar run by a white-haired Au Ra named Shiro Kirishiki. With monster attacks common in the area, arriving at the Outlook's welcoming door is often enough to elicit a feeling of relief at the thought of sanctuary. With a fire always burning in the furnace, the cold can never find it's way into the Outlook. The bar's proprietress welcome's old and new faces alike, asking only that they repay her kindness and advice with gil and tales of adventure.(Goblin Empyrean Ward 20 Plot 28)

  • Adventurers like to use the Outlook as a place to gather their thoughts, or celebrate their victories while fighting off the cold.

  • Members of the Machinist guild frequently talk in hushed tones about the Outlook, speaking of an incident that occurred one year ago that resulted in a great many people dead.

  • Ishgardian nobility often give the Outlook a wide berth, citing strangely frequent monster attacks and bandits in the area.

  • There are strange rumors that date back to just after the Calamity of a ghost that haunts the Highlands, many talking about a blur of white with two yellow sprites that follow it around while it prowls in the cold nights of Coerthas. It is simply known as the "Ghost of the Highlands".
