Ishular
Youngest of the ancient kingdoms of men, the holy city of Ishular was once a bastion of faith in Talamhel. With arches of white sandstone and an intricate spiraling masonry, the architecture of the city was designed to evoke the beauty and complexity of Leisis herself.
Once holy city and headquarters of the Leisis Church, Ishular is now ruled by Atnael, The Prime Radiance. Said to be a city bathed in golden rays of light, its very existence granting healing effects to people. Ishular has become the biggest victim and source of the Night Plague, second only to the Pillar of Entropy itself. Large portions of its corrupted population decimated by the Order of Remnant Knights, the Knights formed a union with the legendary craftsman Mentes, erecting barriers surrounding the city to contain the Night Plague within. Ishular is the youngest of human kingdoms in Talamhel. Alchemical experimentation within the city's depths eventually lead to the creation of the first Talismans.
Journeying to Ishular requires finishing the Main Story Quest The Festival of the Spire and accepting the Main Story Quest The Receding Wave.
The Scavenging Side Quest Ishular's Inventory can be accepted on Ishular.
The item Anvil of Andalux to upgrade the Forge can be found on Ishular.
