The Treasure of Swallowtail Roam, also known as The Key is a mysterious horn of bone that was found on Seal Rock, rumored to be the legendary Swallowtail Roam, upon is sudden appearance in 1562. The treasure was removed by Emerick at the behest of Commodore Sthalmann during his attempted coup of the Admiralty, but despite attempts to intervene by Y'shtola, on behalf of the Sharlayan Council, the Key was lost—stolen by the Ascian, Travanchet.

Also found on Seal Rock was a tablet covered in an ancient language, Rhotano Bloodcant. Based on the description of Tupsimati[1], the treasure of Swallowtail Roam was likely a ritual object meant to facilitate the summoning of a deific entity. The fact that both the Sahagin and Travanchet, an Ascian linked to that beast tribe, sought the Key hints that it may even have been somehow associated with Leviathan.
Notes
The Key was the major focus of the Version 1.0 main scenario introduction for players starting in Limsa Lominsa. Loremonger has summarized this story arc as the Warrens of Lominsan Past.
