“This place probably looks a bit different than the Rata Novus you remember, huh? The wizards wanted to see what would happen if it survived, and...it did pretty well. Leave it to the asura, right? But they're kind of a headache, too, so I could always use some help to keep them out of trouble if you've got time.
— Umbria during Island Discovery Tour
Rata Novus Promenade is an area within northeastern Skywatch Archipelago. It's an artificial fractal made to study the timeline where the lost city of Rata Novus is thriving instead of being overrun with chak in 1173 AE and consequently abandoned.[1] This included a potential creation of new technologies that could be subsequently used by the Astral Ward.[2] Rata Novus Fractal Research is a book chronicling Rata Novus's continuous development.

Ambient dialogue[edit]
- Entering the area for the first time
- Umbria: This place probably looks a bit different than the Rata Novus you remember, huh?
- Umbria: The wizards wanted to see what would happen if it survived, and...it did pretty well. Leave it to the asura, right?
- Umbria: But they're kind of a headache, too, so I could always use some help to keep them out of trouble if you've got time.
- On holo-projectors around the city
- Safety Chief Janna Attention! We are currently experience a...temporary irregularity.
- Safety Chief Janna <?>
- Safety Chief Janna It has come to my attention that some citizens have not been heeding the warnings about the current situation.
- Safety Chief Janna You must remain inside the city unless specifically authorized!
- Safety Chief Janna If not for yourself, then do it for your family, who will be responsible for the lost work in the event of your death.
- Northwest of Western Research Facilities
- Golemancer Shann: The transportation of the city to this floating rock is certainly strange business. I wonder if Zinn is behind this?
- Engineer Zanni: I heard that his team has been developing advanced portal technology. Maybe he moved the whole city as a test.
- Golemancer Shann: The whole city as a test? That's negligent! That's irresponsible! That's…exactly what Zinn would do, isn't it?
- Engineer Zanni: I hope that's all it is. The alternative hypotheses are…deeply troubling.
- Inside Western Research Facilities
- Assistant Trakk: Hey, Simmi! Got any plans today?
- Engineer Simmi: Well, the golems have automated everything I'm manufacturing, so I actually don't have much going on.
- Assistant Trakk: Oh, that's cool. So, hey, maybe we can go get some drinks or something?
- Engineer Simmi: Well, sure, but aren't you supposed to be helping Krenna with the energy extraction today?
- Assistant Trakk: No way I'm doing that! Those chak have been vicious lately. I'm not going back there!
- Assistant Trakk: Besides, I'm sure she'll talk some other sucker into doing it.
- On eastern bridge
- Researcher Drinna: When is the power going to stop fluctuating? My golems haven't been able to charge in days!
- Technician Brozz: We are working on it, but these ley-line fluctuations pose a significant technical hurdle for us to—
- Researcher Drinna: I had to sort my documents by hand. Do you understand me? By hand! Like some kind of primitive brute!
- Researcher Drinna: If the golems don't start working again soon, I'll probably have to move my equipment myself, too!
- Researcher Drinna: Well, I won't stand for it! I won't! You all better fix it before things get really ugly!
