CENTRAL SHROUD LANDMARKS
Bentbranch Meadows (21.7 - 22.1)
A town with the blessing of the Elementals, dedicated to the caring and breeding of chocobos. The settlement was built post-calamity shortly after Moogle's Gift Mounts, a stable of chocobos, was established in the location. The chocobos are stated to be "Ishgard's finest" and the balloon tethered to the main building was an Ixal war vessel that got tangled in a tree and claimed by the chocobokeepers once the Ixali riders abandoned it. There's also fields to grow Gysahl Greens.
The Matron's Lethe (18.1 - 19.9)
Due to geological upheavals formed by the calamity, a cliff formed in the Central Shroud, yet this root endured upon it, forming a bridge. Due to this the Gridanian saw it as a blessing and took to calling it The Matron's Lethe.
Dunstan's Spire (16.9 - 19.0)
A scaffolding surrounding a crater made by the calamity.
Amberscale Rock (11.1 - 20.1)
Rock shaped like a dragon, made with amber-like substance similar to the ones found in the Gelmorra ruins, not much known about it. This location is a remnant of 1.0, and some of the Conjurer quests of 1.0 happen in this location. Of note is that a dragon seemed to have attacked an Ishgardian Knight while inside the cave the Amberscale Rock is in, and that an NPC called Morys is heavily connected to this place.
There's a ton of theories as to this place, I highly recommend watching the Remnants of the Realm video about it.

NORTH SHROUD LANDMARKS
The Gelmorra Ruins - North Shroud (23.7 - 24.8)
The Gelmorra Ruins are a location inside the North Shroud relating to the ancient underground civilization of Gelmorra. Made as such by the fear the Hyur and the Elezen of the Black Shroud had of angering the Elementals, who did not want them in the Shroud after the great flood of the Sixth Umbral Era.
While in 2.0 the ruins look damaged due to the events of the Calamity, in 1.0 they looked mostly intact, and they were still in the North Shroud, albeit in the northernmost section of it as opposed to the middle.

SOUTH SHROUD LANDMARKS
Issom-Har - South Shroud (16.9 - 21.9)
The ruins of Issom-Har were once the residential district of the ancient civilization of Gelmorra and the calamity tore a hole that leads into the ruins. Nowadays however the place is known for something else... it is the location from which to enter a famous (presumably) Gelmorran dungeon: The Palace of the Dead.
