South Gustaberg Monument

South Gustaberg Map

Located at (K-10) overlooking the sea in South Gustaberg, this monument has words carved into the stone:

I've been a sailor for over forty years, yet I cannot grasp the concept of the world as a whole. Then again, those who live in cities know even less than I.

They are content knowing only of the things around them. I cannot blame them for choosing to live this way, as curiosity is, more often than not, a dangerous trait.

But I have sworn to use the rest of my life--a life I had once thought lost when I was shipwrecked--to indulge this insatiable curiosity of mine, and to uncover the truth of Vana'diel.

I have decided to leave my first message here, on this hill overlooking my homeland of Bastok. It is the first record of a journey that I hope will benefit all the peoples of Vana'diel.

--Gwynham Ironheart, 748 Crystal Era.
