Argentum

Argentum is an area in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It is a large red ship being held up by a large balloon-like Titan. Nopon are often seen here, and it houses the Argentum Trade Guild. It serves as the hub for various nations of Alrest. Besides the tutorial battle, Argentum is the first area encountered in the game.

Story
The Argentum Trade Guild is the largest of the eleven Nopon Merchant Guilds in Alrest, as well as the largest. It serves as a neutral meeting ground between people from all the nations of Alrest, and particularly caters to salvagers.

Chapter 1
Rex travels to Argentum at the very beginning of the game to sell the treasure he came across, but he is summoned by Pupunin to meet with, the chairman of the guild. When he arrives in Bana's office, the Nopon explains that a group of interest has been looking for a salvager from the Leftherian Archipelago, and invites in Malos, Jin, Nia and Dromarch. Rex receives an advance of 100,000 for agreeing to help, and uses the money to buy an Abyss Vest before sending some to his Aunt Corinne. The next morning, they depart on the C.S.E.V. Maelstrom.

Chapter 4
Later, the party returns to Argentum to buy tickets to the Empire of Mor Ardain, but before leaving, Roc's Core Crystal is stolen by Rhys. The party follows in hot pursuit to Gormott Province.

Trivia

 * Argentum is the Latin word for 'silver'. As Titans and nations in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 are often named after the seven deadly sins or seven virtues in various languages, it is likely that this is because of silver's cultural association with greed.
 * Argentum's Japanese name, 'Avaritia', is directly named after greed/avarice in Latin.
