Once a proud and noble area, Ishval has now been reduced to wreck a ruin. After the war Ishval was left scarred and abandoned, after all, land stained with blood and scorched by fire is of little use. This does though make it the perfect place for those who wish to seclude themselves. Set within the searing heat of the desert Ishval attracts very few people, combined with the pain filled memories this place holds there are very few people, say for the remaining Ishvarites, who wish to restore this broken place to its former glory.
