Plot and Setting
The mainstream narrative is that Dawntrail is continuing the narrative after Endwalker as it takes players to the New World, specifically the land of Tural. The new setting has introduced a continent divided into northern and southern regions, historically mired in territorial wars.
The storyline centres around the capital city, Tuliyollal, founded by Gulool Ja Ja, and around a succession crisis in Rural. Familiar NPCs like Krile Mayer Baldesion, Alphinaud, and Alisaie Leveilleur accompany the Warrior of Light. The themes of factional rivalry and political intrigue will be prominent as players work to stabilise the region.
