Final Fantasy XI/Locations

Republic of Bastok
Bastok Markets

The main thoroughfare of The Republic of Bastok, the markets is home to a wide number of shops, including the Goldsmithing Guild and the west Auction House (accessible just off of firewater circle). This is the center of town, and provides access to all of the other sections of Bastok.

Bastok Mines

While no active mining is actually done in Bastok Mines anymore, it does still provide access to Zeruhn Mines which still has active mining areas. While the Mines district is home to a variety of stores, some of which cater to the miners, the district is also home to the Alchemists' Guild and the southern Auction House. Adventurers should also note that the Mines district is home to the Bastok Chocobo stables.

Metalworks

Home to the Republic of Bastok's presidential offices, including the official Allegiance Changer Mythily and Ballista Pursuivant Invincible Shield, not to mention the embassies of the other nations. The Metalworks is also home to, not surprisingly, the Blacksmith Guild and its proprietor, Cid.

Port Bastok

The Bastok Port provides a mix of living quarters, shops and restaurants, plus access to Jeuno via the airship. Warehouses hold the various products arriving and departing via the airsips to and from distant lands. Adventurers are advised to use caution in some of the darker areas of the Port, as the Tenshodo are active here and always looking for an easy mark.

The Kingdom of San d'Oria
Chateau d'Oraguille

The home to the Royal d'Oraguille family, the Chateau is complete with living quarters, an audience chamber, a garden and separate quarters for the Temple Knights and Royal Knights, who are commissioned to protect the royal family at all costs. Entry to the Chateau is strictly limited. Beneath the Chateau is the currently unused Bostaunieux Oubliette prison.

Northern San d'Oria

With access to the Royal palace, otherwise known as the Chateau d'Oraguille, and the Cathedral, much of the Northern section of the Kingdom of San d'Oria has an open, spread out feel. The Parade Grounds in the center provides a spectacular area for the Kingdom's many festivals and a beautiful backdrop for the consulates which line its paths. The western part of the district, however, is distinctly different. Laborman's way, which houses the Blacksmiths' and carpenters' Guilds, remains in a perpetual state of construction. Unaware adventures should be careful, as certain nondescript doors lead directly to dangerous mob infested areas.

Port San d'Oria

The port of the Kingdom of San d'Oria is a relatively sparse district of town, compared the other districts. The airships provide passenger access to Jeuno and also allow for steady stream of goods to come in and out of the Kingdom, as evidenced by the large cargo rooms. A single shop and single tavern also also found here, along with the North Auction House.

Southern San d'Oria

The bustling merchant district of the Kingdom of San d'Oria is home to a wide variety of shops and regional merchants. Also at home in this district is the South Auction House and the Tanners' Guild. In addition to the merchants that sell their wares here, there are a number of small alleyways with housing for the Kingdom's many residents.

The Federation of Windurst
Heavens Tower

This tower in the center of the Federation of Windurst is home to the leader of the federation, the mystic Star Sibyl who resides on the top floor. Additional governmental functions are carried out in the lower levels of the tower, including the acquisition of World Passes, allegiance changes, and ballista registration. Access to the Star Sibyl is severly limited and strictly enforced.

Port Windurst

The port of the Federation of Windurst is home to the Fisherman's Guild and Air Travel Agency, which provides access to Jeuno. Also present in port are a number of shops providing especially good services to the new adventurer. The Orastery, located in Fishmonger Landing, is the department of Magic and home to Minister Ajido-Marujido. A nosy adventurer can stumble upon the terrifying Star Onion Brigade if they are not careful!

Windurst Walls

This quiet, residential area of Federation of Windurst provides a home away from home for some of the more respected residents of the Federation. Accessible from all other areas of Windurst, the Walls district also provides access to the North Auction House. To the extreme north of the Walls district is the abandoned House of the Hero, underneath which is a hidden and guarded passageway into the Toraimarai Canal.

Windurst Waters

This massive district to the west of the Blacktea River, lies along the western edge the Federation of Windurst. Along with a variety of Shops, the Cooking Guild is located in the nothern half of the zone, next to the Tavern and Hostelry. Also contained within this district are a variety of official government departments, including the Aurastery (Magic School), the Optistery (The Library of Magic), and the Rhinostery (living organism research).

 Windurst Woods

This expansive district is the heart of the Federation of Windurst and provides a large number of services to adventurers. The South Auction House can be found at the south-east edge of the district, next to the chocobo stables. To the south lies the Weavers' and Boneworkers' Guilds. The Manustery, which deals with the development of the Cardians, lies in the center of the district. And to the north is the Dhalmel Farm run by Illu Bohjaa, and Mithra Groves, home to Nanaa Mihgo.

The Grand Duchy of Jeuno
Port Jeuno

The transportation capital of Vana'diel, the port of Jeuno provides round-the-clock access to the nations of San d'Oria, Windurst and Bastok, along with providing airship service to Kazham. With access by foot to both the Qufim region (via Qufim Island) and the Mindartia Continent (via Sauromugue Champaign, not to mention chocobo stables and access to the Jeuno Auction House, the Jeuno Port provides adventures with unprecedented access to both zones and items.

Lower Jeuno

The lower level of Jeuno, otherwise known as Market Bridge, is filled with a wide variety of shops selling everything an aspiring adventurer could need. While somewhat hidden in the depths of the district, even the Goblins and Tenshodo have set up shops here. If the shops don't sell what you are looking for, the Lower Auction House will often have your desired item listed. Reflecting the fact that the lower level of Jeuno is considered by many to be the center of Vana'diel commerce, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry is located here. Chocobos can also be rented here for access to Rolanberry Fields.

Upper Jeuno

The upper level of Jeuno, also known as the Artisan Bridge, is home to a few shops and merchants. The dichotomy of the district is readily apparant as the Temple of the Goddess and infirmary lie a few steps from weapon and shield shops, and a block away from the Marble Bridge Tavern. The Auction House is accessible from this district as well, and chocobos can be rented to access to Batallia Downs.

Ru'Lude Gardens

The grounds of Kam'lanaut's grand estates, the Ru'Lude Gardens were named by the archduke himself and opened to the population as a place of respite in times of peace. Unfortunately, during the Crystal War, the gardens, the estate, and the bridge on which they were built were all destroyed by boulders thrown by gigas. After the war was over, the Ru'Lude Gardens were reconstructed on the roof of the residential tower on an even grander scale for all the people of Vana'diel to enjoy.

Aragoneu
Altar Room

Home to the most senior Yagudo. Used in the Magicite mission and the A Moral Manifest? quest.

Attohwa Chasm

Attohwa, meaning arid in ancient Mithra, is the name given to the chasm that traverses the eastern part of Aragoneu. As the name suggests, very little rain falls here, resulting in a parched, broken land where poisonous gases erupt from cracks in the earth.

However, many unique forms of life have adapted to this harsh environment, ranging from the ant lions that forage for prey hiding under the ground, to the beautiful yet deadly gasponia flowers that feed on the noxious fumes.

Until recently, several forbidding cliffs had to be scaled in order to reach Attohwa Chasm, but due to the discovery of an underground route by a mountaineer, it is now possible for adventurers to travel to this inhospitable area with relative ease.

According to Mithran folklore, the mountaineer who discovered this route went in search of Parradamo Tor, a hill said to be found somewhere in the chasm, and was never heard from again...

Boneyard Gully

This area is the entrance to multiple ENM battles, as well being used in some quests and missions. You must use the Dark Miasma to do battle.

Castle Oztroja

The birdlike Beastmen known as the Yagudo spent decades carving this stronghold out of the mountains in the Meriphataud Range. In addition to being strictly guarded, the interior of the castle is extremely complex and littered with traps and curses that only members of the Yagudo Theomilitary have been informed of.

Garlaige Citadel

During the Great War, the armies of Altana, led by the first order of the Royal Knights of San d'Oria, reconstructed this underground fortress in hopes of taking the beastmen armies in Sauromugue by surprise. Outfitted with hundreds of troops from all three nations, the forces of Altana were successful in their attacks on the beastmen--until an enemy unit discovered a secret entrance to the citadel. This miscalculation resulted in the slaughter of all within the fortress, dealing a severe blow to the allied forces.

Meriphataud Mountains

Unrelenting dust storms and a severe climate make for a harsh environment that is inhabited by few. Castle Oztroja, the Yagudo stronghold, can be found here, and its guards relentlessly patrol the surrounding hills. Also present is the colossal structure known as Drogaroga's Spine, an enormous bone-shaped structure that spans the area from west to east, severing it in the middle. Drogaroga's Spine is believed by many denizens of Vana'diel to be the spine of the great dragon Drogaroga, a mythological being that exsisted at the begining of the world.

Sauromugue Champaign

These windswept, desolate plains are situated on an arid peninsula that juts out into the Bastore Sea. Located near the Strait of Jeuno, this area is considered a gateway between the Mindartia and Quon continents. Due to this prime location, numerous kingdoms and various beastman forces have struggled for control of the terrain. The struggle continues to this day--even with the advent of the airship and its revolutionary impact on travel.

Derfland
Beadeaux

Located deep within the Pashhow Marshlands, far from the reach of Bastokan and San d'Orian forces, the Quadav began building their main stronghold after their defeat in the Great War. To continue the construction of their city, they have relentlessly stolen large quantities of the non-rusting mythril from Bastok, as well as the techniques used by the republican craftsmen.

Crawlers' Nest

This web-filled cave plays home to the pests that plague the Rolanberry Fields: the crawlers. While the extermination of these insects by adventurers is approved and rewarded, not once has the Jeunoan military led a full-force attack on the nest. Theories suggest that the lack of support from Jeuno is due to the economic benefits the duchy receives from the sale of silk, a valuable commodity that often accompanies the yellow and black pests.

Pashhow Marshlands

In direct contrast to the highlands that surround it, the Pashhow Marshlands are located near sea level, resulting in a wet, swampy landscape. The countless bogs and floating islands of vegetation make the area extremely difficult to traverse. However, the presence of the Quadav is what causes many travelers to shun this dangerous territory.

Qulun Dome

This dark chamber beneath the Beastmen stronghold of Beadeaux is the domain of the Quadav leader Za'Dha the Adamantking.

Rolanberry Fields

For centuries, this area has been used to cultivate fields of the sweet fruit known as the rolanberry. Considered a delicacy by Humes and the Elvaan, the farmers in this region have perfected their methods of agriculture and are now able to harvest the sweet berries year round. Three great bridges at the Rolanberry Fields' northeastern tip connect the region with its neighboring areas: the Lord Bolicevre Bridge leads to the Batallia Downs, the Market Bridge leads to the Grand Duchy of Jeuno, and the Great Jeuno Bridge grants access to the Sauromugue Champaign.

Elshimo Lowlands
Kazham

After crossing the Pamtam Straits, Kazham is the final spot to rest before entering the Yuhtunga Jungle. The village, a mixture of huts, simple bridges and caves, is home to a number of Mithra and tamed Opo-opo. There are a few shops which cater to the adventures about to seek fame and fortune in the jungles, but otherwise the village has a residential atmosphere. Due to its close ties with Windurst, there are a few Windurstian auction house representatives here who are able to provide access to that nation's auction house.

Norg

To access Norg, one must make their way through the treacherous Sea Serpent Grotto, located deep beneath the jungles of Elshimo Island. Once there, adventurers can at once see the unglamourous life of the Tenshodo, who call this home. While there are a few merchants selling their wares, there are no formal shops. Note that the Quay, which provides easy access for certain Tenshodo members, is not open to adventurers. Due to its close ties with Bastok, there are a few Bastokan auction house representatives here who are able to provide access to that nation's auction house. Also, due to a hidden underground exit-only passageway, chocobos rented here are able to access Yuhtunga Jungle without having to travel back through the Grotto.

Sea Serpent Grotto

This giant sea cave was dug out of the western Elshimo cliffs by the amphibious beastmen known as the Sahagin. The cave is supposedly named after the central figure of the Sahagin religion-a sea serpent that once lived within the grotto. The stench of rotting fish and the whale oil used to light the torches often keep adventurers with weak stomachs at bay.

Yuhtunga Jungle

The tropical rainforest known as the Yuhtunga Jungle comprises the majority of the Elshimo Lowlands. Due to the hot and humid conditions found throughout the area, a variety of plant life, from giant vines to carnivorous flowers, has evolved over the centuries. In the southernmost part of the jungle, a number of small waterfalls can be found in a place known as the Hidden Valley. According to local legend, faeries gather around the falls, and the Mithra of Kazham often travel here as part of their purification rituals.

Elshimo Uplands
Cloister of Flames

Home of the fire protocrystal which houses the celestial avatar Ifrit, God of Flames.

Cloister of Tides

Home of the water protocrystal which houses the celestial avatar Leviathan, God of Tides.

Den of Rancor

Dug by the Tonberries, this stretch of tunnel extends deep beneath the Temple of Uggalepih. It is said that the Tonberries chanted curses while digging, and that these curses still remain, embedded within the walls of the caves. Every night, the Tonberries gather here to pledge their hatred towards the five races of Vana'diel. They inflict cuts upon themselves and pour their blood onto altars, hence strengthening their rancor.

Ifrit's Cauldron

Ifrit's Cauldron is another name for the lava-filled crater located atop Mount Yuhtunga. It is within this crater that the monsters known as "bombs" are thought to be born. In exchange for protection against eruptions, for centuries the Mithra in Kazham have offered sacrifices to appease the cauldron's dwellers. Due to the large amount of volcanic gas that fills the area, extended trips to Ifrit's Cauldron are not recommended.

Sacrificial Chamber

The deepest chamber of the Den of Rancor beneath the Temple of Uggalepih. Here the Tonberrys make bloody sacrifices to their goddess Uggalepih in revenge for Altana's crimes against her. You must use the Mahogany Door to do battle.

Temple of Uggalepih

Hidden deep within the dense jungle of Eastern Elshimo lies a dark, ancient temple. While it is not known by whom, or for what reason this temple was built, it is currently occupied by the Tonberries, who use it as a place to worship the evil deity Uggalepih. The local Mithra fear this "temple of misery," and advise that all keep their distance. The technology used to construct its walls and pillars suggest that a high level of civilization was once centered in the surrounding jungles. However, nature has taken its course over the centuries, and now giant trees and plants slowly eat away at this once mighty structure.

Yhoator Jungle

The tropical Yhoator Jungle covers most of the Elshimo Highlands. While similar to the Yuhtunga Jungle, the overall altitude increase results in slight wildlife differences. Also, this jungle is teeming with the ruthless Tonberries. If a Mithra's prey escapes into this deadly jungle during a hunt, she will not follow, recognizing that the animal has chosen death over capture.

Fauregandi
Beaucedine Glacier

A severe ground where snow storms always rage. Deep crevasses abound in this region; falling here is likely fatal to a traveler. Around the glacier, ruins of the same type as the Horutoto ruins of Sarutabaruta were discovered. Controversy over the specific creators of these structures continue among archaeologists of Windurst and the priests of San d'Oria.

Cloister of Frost

Home of the ice protocrystal which houses the celestial avatar Shiva, God of Frost.

Fei'Yin

The city of legend where it is assumed the Ancients lived. Very few people that set foot in the city come back alive.

Pso'Xja

These extensive underground ruins have been controlled by the Tenshodo for many years, its secrets known only to a select group of researchers. Archaeologists believe the grand hallways and countless chambers are the remains of a city populated by the ancients. However, the existence of numerous traps within the ruins lead others to dispute this theory. Reliefs that exhibit geometric patterns and avatars in recurring themes can also be found carved into the walls in several areas. The origins of these carvings still remains a mystery. What lies behind the Tenshodo's sudden decision to open the ruins to adventurers...?

Qu'Bia Arena

The mysterious inner sanctum of the Ruins of Fei'Yin where the seal closing off the frozen northlands was placed after the Great War. It is the entrance to a number of different BCNM battles as well as some battles for missions and quests. You must use the Burning Circle to do battle.

Ranguemont Pass

An underground pass that connects the relatively tranquil outskirts of San d'Oria with the cold and hazardous mountainous Fauregandi region. To protect its citizens from the dangers inside and beyond, access to the depths of the pass is guarded by a small cadre of elite San d'Orian guards.

'The Shrouded Maw

This area is the entrance to one ENM battle. It is a single room area with no mobs. You must use the Memento Circle to do battle.

Gustaberg
Dangruf Wadi'

The Dangruf Wadi is a small gorge located near Mount Dangruf, an active volcano. Due to the extreme heat caused by the magma under the surface, numerous natural geysers can be found in this area. Long ago, the Galka often would come to bathe in the hot springs here to relieve the aches and pains caused by the long hours they worked in the mines.

Korroloka Tunnel

A long tunnel that connects the continent of Quon with the Kuzotz region, a region made up of a number of tiny islands, the largest being a desert-covered landmass known as Zepwell. This gloomy tunnel can wreak havoc on even the most experienced of adventurers.

North Gustaberg

Situated to the north of Bastok, this valley is surrounded by steep mountains. Separated into east and west areas by towering cliffs, this rocky region remains desolate due to various mineral run-offs which contaminate the river water. However, the spectacular Drachenfall, located to the north, is considered to be one of the wonders of Vana'diel.

Palborough Mines

These caves were once a Quadav settlement until mythril, a rare ore, was discovered in its walls. It was not long before the Republic of Bastok sent its soldiers to drive the beastmen out of these caves. After the Quadav had been vanquished, the Humes used their newly invented explosives to transform the caves into a system of mines that would become the largest producer of mythril ore in the whole of Vana'diel. However, the Quadav recently retaliated by sending their own forces to reclaim their former home. They remain in control of the mines to this day.

South Gustaberg

Spreading out to the south of Bastok is the rocky terrain of South Gustaberg. Plentiful with ore, hundreds of tunnels and mine shafts have been dug beneath the earth by Humes and Quadav alike. To the east, the Morhen Lighthouse can be found on the cliffs lining the Bastore Sea, its light guiding the way for the ferries and airships that traverse the area.

Waughroon Shrine

The sacred shrine of the Quadav located within their ancestral homelands that have become the Palborough Mines. You must use the Burning Circle to do battle.

Zeruhn Mines

These mines were recently dug out of the large rock formation that lies in the Mines District of Bastok when a vein of Darksteel Ore was discovered within. Zeruhn has since become a reliable source of iron and a small supplier of zinc, silver, and darksteel, and because of its location within the walls of Bastok, Zeruhn Mines is safer for miners than the nearby Palborough Mines.

Kolshushu
Bibiki Bay

This inlet in the southeast of Mindartia looks out on the Gugru Blue. Sheltered by a multitude of tiny islands, its tranquil waters were once used by Tarutaru fisher folk to farm vast quantities of shellfish and seaweed.

After the Great War, the cultivation of Bibiki Bay was abandoned as the Mithra brought their expertise in fishing to the mainland. However, many of the bounties of aquaculture, including the magically enlarged shellfish known as uragnite, remained untouched.

The Fishermen's Guild, seeing the bay's potential, recently paid for the right to begin fishing in the area. The guild intends to make their small fishing vessels, or manaclippers, as they are called, available for use by adventurers in the near future.

Also, in order to bring in ordinary sightseers, the Fishermen's Guild is attempting to gain permission to land on the beautiful beaches of Purgonorgo Isle.

They are currently conducting negotiations with the isle's mysterious and wealthy owner.

Bibiki Bay - Purgonorgo Isle

This island in the middle of the Bibiki Bay is accessible only via the Manaclipper. Due to its separation from the mainland, the island has developed its own ecosystem and unique species, including the Uragnites and Clots.

Buburimu Peninsula

This relatively small peninsula is located on the east side of the Pamtam Straits. In comparison to the dry weather that plagues much of the Kolshushu Region, Buburimu is often visited by occasional squalls that provide enough water for certain grasses to grow. Also, on the eastern tip of the peninsula, a strangely shaped rock formation can be found. At night, the ore deposits within the formation give off a fluorescent light that acts as a marker for passing ships. The Tarutaru call this place the Kibubu Lighthouse.

Labyrinth of Onzozo

This dark, maze-like labyrinth, ruled by the Lord of Onzozo, is littered with the bones of both fallen adventurers and prey alike. The labyrinth is filled with a huge variety of different types of animals, including large numbers of Sea Monks, Coeurls, Cockatrice and Scorpions.

Manaclipper

This large fishing barge takes a variety of routes through Bikibi Bay. In addition to taking passengers back and forth between Bibiki Bay and Purgonorgo Isle, there are two sightseeing tours, one to Dhalmel Rock and one to the Maliyakaleya Reef, both of which depart/arrive from Bibiki Bay.

The full route of the Manaclipper is: Bibiki Bay > Purgonorgo Isle > Bibiki Bay > Maliyakaleya Reef Tour > Bibiki Bay > Purgonorgo Isle > Bibiki Bay > Dhalmel Rock Tour.

Maze of Shakhrami

This natural labyrinth was formed long ago, when water from the rivers above seeped through the crust and ate away at the rocks below. The fossils of great ancient beasts can often be found deep within this natural wonder.

Mhaura

Carved out of the cliff that faces the Strait of Pamtam, Mhaura is a peaceful port town that is part of the Federation of Windurst. Mhaura was originally a Tarutaru town, but thanks to the tolerant stance of the governor, many craftspeople of all races and nationalities have gathered here.

Tahrongi Canyon

The twisting canyons of the Tahrongi were carved out of the surrounding mountains thousands of years ago when powerful rivers ran through the region. While this spectacle of nature awes all who pass through, the danger that lurks within its walls should not be underestimated.

Kuzotz
Cloister of Tremors

Home of the earth protocrystal which houses the celestial avatar Titan, God of Tremors.

Eastern Altepa Desert

The eastern half of Zepwell Island is made up of this arid desert wasteland. While remnants of the ancient Galkan civilization that once thrived here dot the landscape, today the area is dominated by sand, wind, and the occasional antican that roams the dunes.

Chamber of Oracles

This mysterious chamber lies deep beneath the sands of Zepwell Island. The white, bone-like walls and pillars closely resemble those found scattered about Vana'diel.

Quicksand Caves

Once a thriving metropolis for the proud Galka, these caves still house numerous monolithic pillars and statues that, in many places, remain untouched by the sands of time. However, long ago, the Antica drove the Galka from their homes, and the tunnels were transformed into a giant nest. As a result of the constant digging of entrances and exits by the insect-like beings, the caves are relentlessly bombarded with a flow of sand from the desert above. It will not be long before the caves are completely filled and a piece of Galkan history is lost forever. However, this is of no concern to the Antica...

Rabao

This desert oasis, supported by the Rabao Spring, lies towards the north end of Zepwell Island and is surrounded by the vast Altepa Desert. Notwithstanding its location, enterprising merchants have erected tent-shops in an effort to capitalize on stranded adventurers in need of aid. Due to its close ties with San d'Oria, there are a few San d'Orian auction house representatives here who are able to provide access to that nation's auction house.

Western Altepa Desert

This enormous expanse of desert covers the entire western half of Zepwell Island. Out of its center rises Revelation Rock, which was once used by the Galka as a location for spiritual training. To the northeast, one can find the largest oasis of the desert-Rabao.

Li'Telor
The Boyahda Tree

The "Boyahda Tree", the largest tree of Zi'Tah, is said to have lasted tens of thousands of years. The cave made by its decaying roots is now called the same name. The fantastic space is wrapped in light by the shining moss growing on the cave walls. Also a subspecies of the atrocious walking plant Mandragora comes to this region for nesting and food.

Cloister of Storms

Home of the lightning protocrystal which houses the celestial avatar Ramuh, God of Storms.

Dragon's Aery

Nestled high above the the peaceful tree-lined areas of The Boyahda Tree and The Sanctuary of Zi'Tah lies this trecherous plot of land home to some of the strongest creatures to roam Vana'diel. The aery, or nest, while home to some more common animals, is often guarded by one of two powerful Wyrms.

Hall of the Gods

This long corridor is the final safe resting place before entering the vast etheral expanses of Tu'Lia. Statues adorn the interior of the hall, and a large statue of Promathia stands tall; one of the few grand monuments to the god of darkness that still stands in Vana'diel today.

Ro'Maeve

This ampitheater-like area is comprised of a series of levels leading up to the top, where one can enter the Hall of the Gods. The high walls made of a bone-like material make for a labyrinthine atmosphere, where dangerous beasts can lurk behind the next turn. Caution is suggested when traversing this dangerous area.

The Sanctuary of Zi'Tah

The coniferous forest that is at the entrance to the Li'Telor region. At noon little light reaches the forest floor, blocked by trees that are thousands of years old. However throughout the forest are crystals that are illuminated and shine onto their surroundings eerily even during the day. Here was believed by the people of Vanadiel to be the region of gods, and was rare for people to visit unless on pilgrimage to Ro Maeve, or Goblin Highwaymen.

Lumoria
Al'Taieu

This area is part of the Celestial Capital of Al'Taieu; what remains of the Zilart capital city of Al'Taieu which was destroyed by the wyrmking Bahamut.

The Garden of Ru'Hmet

This area is part of the Celestial Capital of Al'Taieu. Access is gained by completing Chains of Promathia Mission 8-2. Sneak and Invisible are useless here, as everything is either non-aggro or true sight.

Grand Palace of Hu'Xzoi

This area is part of the Celestial Capital of Al'Taieu. Access is gained by completing Chains of Promathia Mission 8-1.

Empyreal Paradox

This Burning Circle Battlefield is used only during the final CoP mission and Apocalypse Nigh quest.

Movalpolos
Mine Shaft #2716

This Burning Circle Battlefield is used only during the final CoP mission and Apocalypse Nigh quest.

Newton Movalpolos / Newton Movalpolos'

The subterranean city of Movalpolos was dug and built by a tribe of Goblins referred to as the Moblins. Due to the nomadic nature of most Goblins, it is extremely rare for any of these beastmen to reside together in one place, making this community extremely unique. The Moblins are known for their exceptional smithing and alchemy skills. Their achievements include complex drilling apparatuses and floodlights, as well as several advancements in exotic fields such as bionics. It is even rumored that their ability in these areas matches or exceeds that of the scientists in Bastok.

As the Moblins drill through Vana'diel's crust, they are constantly moving their homes, water tanks, and scaffolding. This continuous advancement of Movalpolos makes it difficult to locate the city at any one time. While there are some Moblins who emerge to the surface to sell ores mined from the rock that surrounds their city, most of the tribe's members have cut themselves off from the outside world. This isolation has resulted in a lack of information regarding the city, even among other Goblins.

Why have the Moblins chosen this life underground, and why do they continue to move...?

Norvallen
Batallia Downs

During the Great War, the Batallia Downs were the location of the infamous Battle of Jeuno. The scars left from this epic confrontation still litter the region. The looming Achaque Mountains situated in the northern part of the area prevent possible intruders while hampering the travel of adventurers. Finally, the Artisan Bridge connecting the Norvallen Region and the Grand Duchy of Jeuno is located on the downs' far eastern shore.

Carpenters' Landing

Accessible directly from Northern San d'Oria, this area is comprised of a series of unconnected docks providing access to the barge that travels down the Phanauet Channel. While a small zone in area, getting around on the barge can be rather time-consuming.

Davoi

During the Great War nearly twenty years ago, an attack was made by the Orcish troops on this peaceful Elvaan monastery left the tiny sanctuary in ruins and under the control of the beastmen. The Orcs transformed the area into their main stronghold, delighted by the layout of the surrounding area, as well as the protection that the monastic caverns provided. While there have been many attempts by the San d'Orian Royal Knights to reclaim this area, the ever-weakening forces of the kingdom remain powerless in this fight and often rely on hired adventurers to assist them in their campaigns.

The Eldieme Necropolis

The ancient Elvaan built these burial mounds, also known as the Coveffe Barrows, in an attempt to bring themselves closer to the Goddess Altana in death. Within the San d'Orian Church, to spend one's final days on Vana'diel within these tombs was often considered the greatest blessing before departing to the afterlife. This resulted in a wave of followers traveling to the barrows and constructing the underground necropolis that remains there to this day. However, during the Great War, these catacombs were also the sites of fierce battles that left thousands dead or injured. The spirits of these lost souls still roam the tombs below.

Jugner Forest

Located to the east of the Kingdom of San d'Oria, this vast, dense woodland is often shrouded in darkness--even during the day. Before the construction of a main road that connected the adjoining areas, travelers and merchants often shunned the Jugner Forest; all would fear the ferocious beasts that lurked in the shadows of the mighty trees. Even today, only a large caravan protected by hired mercenaries could survive an attack from the Orcs and Goblin raiders that prey on passersby.

Monastic Cavern

Deep within the recesses of the Orcish stronghold of Davoi is the Monastic Cavern, home to the leaders of the Orcs. The old peaceful Elvaan monastery, which used to welcome travelers from far and wide, is now dangerous for any and all adventurers to even step foot in.

Phanauet Channel

The Carpenters' Landing Barge allows players to travel around this zone for a small fee.

The full route of the Carpenters' Landing Barge is: South Landing to Central Landing via Emfea Waterway > Central Landing to South Landing via Newtpool > South Landing to North Landing > North Landing to Central Landing > Central Landing to South Landing via Newtpool

Qufim
Behemoth's Dominion

Home to the Behemoths of Vana'diel, this cavernous subterranean dwelling is buried deep inside Qufim Island. In addition to the Behemoths, scores of undead also roam around seeking to surprise unsuspecting adventurers.

Lower Delkfutt's Tower / Middle Delkfutt's Tower / Upper Delkfutt's Tower

This tower in the North of Qufim Island is overrun by a wide range of Gigas who were trapped there at the end of the Great War. Isolated in their gloomy tower, the Gigas are constantly searching for a way to get back to their homeland. The tower is split into three sections, Lower Delkfutt's Tower (Basement and Floors 1-3), Middle Delkfutt's Tower (Floors 4-9) and Upper Delkfutt's Tower (Floors 10-12).

Qufim Island

An island to the north of Jeuno, Qufim Island is home to those Gigas who are unable to survive the depths of Delkfutt's Tower. Often crowded with adventurers during the day due to its proximity to Jeuno, at night a large number of undead roam around forcing many less experienced adventurers to seek safe cover.

Stellar Fulcrum

At the highest point of Delkfutt's tower lies the battle arena for Zilart Mission 8 and a promotional event used in official Square Enix events.

Ronfaure
Bostaunieux Oubliette

This prison, accessed from the basement of the Chateau d'Oraguille, is not currently in use by the Kingdom of San d'Oria, although a few guards are still kept to patrol the halls. The deeper recesses of the oubliette (a dungeon with an opening only on top) is accessible only through a guarded trap door. The prison is dangerous to even the most worthy of adventurers.

East Ronfaure

This lush evergreen forest, set aside by the d'Oraguille family for hunting festivals, lies to the east of the Kingdom of San d'Oria. Blessed by the abundant waters of the Cheval River, the wildlife in these woodlands has flourished for centuries. However, extensive logging by Orcish troops--and an astounding increase in the number of wild sheep--have resulted in a significant reduction in the area's wildlife. San d'Orian officials are currently pondering over a solution to this new dilemma.

Fort Ghelsba

This massive fort, reinforced with towering logs cut down from the surrounding forests, is home to the frontline troops of the Orcish Empire. Here, the Orcs continue their preparations for battle with San d'Oria by constructing various siege weapons, such as long-range catapults and battering rams.

Ghelsba Outpost

This vanguard outpost for the Orcish Empire is home to the Vilebloods, who are led by the merciless Warchief Vatgit. Only the most fearless, vicious, bloodthirsty Orcs are selected to be a part of the Warchief's ranks. Many knights travel to this area to engage the enemy, but never return home.

Horlais Peak

The highest mountain top above Fort Ghelsba, containing the famous Horlais hot springs as well as a Burning Circle. This area is the entrance to a number of different BCNM battles, as well as being used in some missions and quests. You must use the Burning Circle to do battle.

King Ranperre's Tomb

Somewhere deep within this enormous expanse of catacombs lie the remains of the 24th heir to the throne of San d'Oria: Ranperre, the Dragon King. It is said that the king--who was a dragonslayer--had entrusted the protection of the tomb to a black dragon that had been spared in exchange for its services.

West Ronfaure

This wooded area lies to the west of San d'Oria's gates. Many years ago, the Orc forces captured the area surrounding Mount Ghelsba, then proceeded to relentlessly dispatch troops into the surrounding region from their newly constructed fort. Not a day goes by without the Royal Knights exchanging blows with the beastmen hordes.

Yughott Grotto

The Orcs once used Elvaan slaves to dig this tunnel, which was originally intended to lead all the way under the walls of the San d'Orian citadel. However, the short-tempered Orcs soon found that their plan would be far more difficult to carry out than they previously thought, so they simply gave up their pursuit of the project.

Tavnazian Archipelago/Marquisate*
Lufaise Meadows

A field of peaceful meadows that are part of the Tavnazian Archipelago - a tiny island off the west coast of Quon which was once home to the proud nation of Tavnazia. Before the Great War, this region was actually a peninsula connected with the mainland. However, a devastating explosion caused by a secret weapon of the beastmen resulted in the disintegration of a large portion of the surrounding landscape. The explosion also sent the nation's capitol, a city built on the profits of its thriving trade business, into ruin. The remnants of the beastmen army remain in control of the archipelago, and until now, it was thought that none of the former inhabitants had survived.

Misareaux Coast

The coastline of the Tavnazian Archipelago - a tiny island off the west coast of Quon which was once home to the proud nation of Tavnazia. Before the Great War, this region was actually a peninsula connected with the mainland. However, a devastating explosion caused by a secret weapon of the beastmen resulted in the disintegration of a large portion of the surrounding landscape. The explosion also sent the nation's capitol, a city built on the profits of its thriving trade business, into ruin. The remnants of the beastmen army remain in control of the archipelago, and until now, it was thought that none of the former inhabitants had survived.

Monarch Linn

A hidden crevice within one of the floating islands of Riverne - Site #A01 leads to the small mossy clearing of Monarch Linn. However beauty, scenery, and blue skies are not all that waits for travelers within this seemingly serene cleft.

This area is the entrance to multiple ENM battles, as well a quest and missions. It is a single room area with no mobs. You must use the Spatial Displacement to do battle.

Phomiuna Aqueducts

Called the City of Water, these expansive aqueducts were constructed by the Tavnazian Marquisate. Before the war, the waters were drawn on by most of the city's main facilities, but now only a small percentage of the canals remains. The Phomiuna Aqueducts are connected to the underground sacrarium of the fallen cathedral. However, due to the powerful wards erected by a certain cardinal, the state of the sacrarium's interior is known to but a few. And there is also the question of the holy artifact said to be enshrined within its walls....

Riverne - Site #A01 / Riverne - Site #B01

Situated on the far western tip of the main island of Tavnazia, Cape Riverne was once a peaceful meadow where one could gaze out into the Nosteau Ocean while resting in the soft breeze. However, during a recent earthquake, large chunks of the area were ripped from the ground and now float alongside the clouds above the churning sea. A Tavnazian expedition is currently investigating the area, working from only a few notes taken by Goblin explorers. This area makes up the southern half of Cape Riverne.

Sacrarium

Eerily reminiscent of the Phomiuna Aqueducts, this area is also part of the Tavnazian Cathedral. While there are fewer Fomor parties roaming around, the upper floor's hallways are patrolled by true-sight tauri. The lower floor is accessible only by navigating a trecherous maze.

Sealion's Den

This port, connected to Tavnazian Safehold, is accessed for a number of missions, and provides access to Al'Taieu as well.T

*Tavnazian Safehold

This settlement is an extension of the underground complex that served as a haven for the survivors of the war-ravaged Tavnazian Marquisate. As the ruins of the city above are still occupied by the remnants of the beastmen armies, the people of the Safehold below are concerned primarily with survival. The Tavnazian Safehold has sufficient resources to function as a town, though there is little of the unmatched wealth and beauty of the once proud capital.

Tu'Lia
Celestial Nexus

This area is used for Zilart Mission 16.

La'Loff Amphitheater

This area is used for Divine Might.

Ru'Aun Gardens

Also known as "Sky" by various adventurers, this array of floating islands is the home to the "Divine Guardians of the Shijen" and a number of monsters.

Shrine of Ru'Avitau

This area is most well known for its resident Notorious Monster - Kirin, master of the Shijen. He is one of the more popular high level monsters to fight. The fight can take hours and requires a lot of cooperation between players. Be careful if you're running through this area, as a group may be fighting him! This area often has blue and yellow doors blocking the way as you navigate. Devices called "Monoliths" are used to control these doors. Only one color type will be open at a time; if the blue doors are open, the yellow doors will be closed. Teleporters are used to jump around the area, the small circles on the map denote teleporters, and empty areas with letters are the destination of the teleporters. Some teleporters have more than one possible destination; you may end up at different places each time. The chances are random.

Ve'Lugannon Palace

The inside of Ru'Aun Gardens, the Palace is home to a few notorious monsters, but is otherwise often a deserted and desolate place. The bone-like materials used in the construction of the Palace make it a particularly unpleasant place to stay for very long.

Sarutabaruta
Balga's Dais

The innermost crevice within the Yagudo realm of Giddeus containing a Burning Circle. This area is the entrance to a number of different BCNM battles, as well as being used in some missions and quests. You must use the Burning Circle to do battle.

East Sarutabaruta

As its name implies, East Sarutabaruta is comprised of the savanna situated to the east of the capital of Windurst. While the Zanbibi and Nompipi rivers that run through this area provide a bounty of water for the surrounding wildlife, aftereffects of the Great War have left their mark on the environment and the weather. A land that was once praised by the Mithra as a hunter's paradise now remains home to only a few scattered prey.

Full Moon Fountain

This area is used in several missions and quests, often involving Fenrir as it is where he lies. You must use the Moon Bauble to do battle.

Giddeus

Centered around the Yagudo's temple, this area also serves as a theological haven for the race known as the Yagudo. Using their claws and sharp beaks, the beastmen carved caves out of the surrounding cliffs to serve as their homes. Though they may appear to be randomly placed, the locations of the caves have been carefully planned out and follow the teachings of the Yagudo religion. On a daily basis, the residents of Giddeus perform short pilgrimages around the area, stopping at every one of the numerous altars.

Inner Horutoto Ruins / Outer Horutoto Ruins

The term "Horutoto Ruins" refers to the set of ancient towers that are spread across the plains of Sarutabaruta. While no one is certain why these massive structures were built, the powerful magical energy that emanates from them has been the center of Tarutaru scientific investigation for decades.

Toraimarai Canal

This series of canals underneath Windurst is home to a wide variety of creatures. With multiple levels and a number of dead-ends, venturing in this frightful labyrinth often leads to certain death.

West Sarutabaruta

These grass-covered plains lie on the western side of the capital of Windurst. Ruins of an ancient civilization dot the area, indicating that Sarutabaruta was inhabited long before the Tarutaru arrived. Also, a mysterious place known as Starfall Hillock can be found in the north of this region. It is said that in this mystical spot, stars fall from the heavens on cold nights...

Valdeaunia
The frozen northern island of Valdeaunia is often considered to be completely uninhabitable. Old evils cast long, dark shadows across the icy land, making Valdeaunia the home of the world's darkest powers. Most predominantly, the Xarcabard region could be considered the capital of the beastmen's war efforts, being the home of Castle Zvahl, which is in turn the stronghold of the enigmatic and malevolent Shadow Lord.

Bearclaw Pinnacle

This area is the entrance to multiple ENM battles, as well a mission battle. You must use the Wind Pillar to do battle.

Xarcabard

Most feared and oppressive of all the land of Valdeaunia is the Xarcabard region. Rumored to be so cold that even good and evil alike freeze instantly in its fiercest winds, it was also a natural place for the displaced beastraces and other monstrous creatures to make into their base of operations. From here, the Shadow Lord and his lieutenant demons plotted and still plot the destruction of the Enlightened Races, bearing a grudge that defies the ages. There are no indigenous peoples of Xarcabard, and if there was ever any settlement other than Castle Zvahl to speak of, it would be so ancient and timeless as to have been forgotten by the history of any race or nation on Vana'diel.

Castle Zvahl Baileys/Castle Zvahl Keep

A virtual city unto itself, Castle Zvahl is a massive structure that has origins far older than recorded history could accurately relate. While it is possible that it has always been the dwelling of the Shadow Lord and his hordes of beastmen lieutenants, the architecture is so unusual that it seems to hint at an even earlier purpose.

During the Crystal War, the great heroes of each nation stormed Castle Zvahl with their armies in tow, bringing a great deal of the interior into ruin. After slaying the Shadow Lord, they entombed his remains in the deepest recesses of the castle keep, hoping to place his dark legacy behind Vana'diel forever. This has only seemed to enhance the mystery behind the most recent uprisings lead by one who claims to be the very same being entombed within the castle.

Although not recognized by any of the Great Nations or the Grand Duchy as a national capital, the castle is home to legions of beastmen and their kin. During the Crystal War, many beings were reported within that defied conventional description or classification. These were labeled as "demons," and were among the most deadly of the Shadow Lord's army. Such affiliations have lead to the speculation that Castle Zvahl was intended as a home or worshiping site for the dark god Promathia.

Throne Room

The "Burning Circle" area for the Shadow Lord fight and the final Bastok mission. Located in Castle Zvahl Keep.

Uleguerand Range

This mountainous region is the highest area above sea level on the Quon continent. An Orc-created pass over the range exists, but the steep climb, combined with the snowstorms that blow in from every angle of the convoluted landscape, provide a daunting challenge to intruders. In a time when the Orcs had little skill in navigating the seas, their army reached the northern cliffs by skirting a succession of islands, then marched over the Uleguerand Range to stage their incursions into Xarcabard. In an attempt to stem the tide of beastmen, the outnumbered knights of San d'Oria often clashed with the Orcish forces upon the mountain range itself. Thousandfall Ridge, mentioned in the histories of Warking Ashfarg, was famous as a site for the fiercest battles. Even now, there are daredevil explorers who test their luck by sliding down its sheer slopes.

Vollbow
Cape Teriggan

This penninsula on the extreme western edge of the Quon continent is accessible only via one of two underground tunnels. The Gustav Tunnel leads to the Valkurm Dunes, still on the Quon continent, whereas the Kuftal Tunnel leads to the Western Altepa Desert on Zepwell Island. The penninsula is home to a large number of Goblins, Cockatrice and Manticores.

Cloister of Gales

Home of the wind protocrystal which houses the celestial avatar Garuda, God of Gales.

Gustav Tunnel

This tunnnel connects Valkurm Dunes with Cape Teriggan. Adventurers seeking to make it back into daylight on the otherside must traverse this long dark tunnel, carefully avoiding the various monsters that inhabit this foul passage. Numerous powerful Wyverns also live here, most notably Bune, who can often be seen defeating unsuspecting passerbys.

Kuftal Tunnel

This tunnnel connects the Western Altepa Desert section of Zepwell Island with Cape Teriggan. This maze of underground passageways can lead adventurers in circles, only to look up in horror as giant monsters such as Guivre look down on them with glee.

Valley of Sorrows

This small secluded area, accessible only from Cape Teriggan, is home to the Adamantoise, mammoth reptiles which are a rare sight for any adventurer. Only a handful of these creatures are known to exist in Vana'diel.

Zulkheim
Gusgen Mines

Large amounts of mythril were extracted from these twisting caverns long before the discovery of the Palborough Mines. Complete with a railway system for mine carts, Gusgen was heavily mined for many years. However, as the veins of ore were depleted, the miners packed up and moved away. Now the mines remain abandoned.

Konschtat Highlands

These vast grasslands are situated just to the north of the Republic of Bastok. In contrast to the surrounding Bastok Mountains, the Konschtat Highlands are abundant with an array of alpine wildlife. Also, in order to harness the powerful winds called "Odin's Wrath" that constantly blow through the area, Bastok has constructed numerous windmills throughout the highlands. According to a treaty, San d'Oria provides a portion of their grain crops in exchange for the use of Bastok's windmills to produce flour.

La Theine Plateau

The grasslands that make up the La Theine Plateau are located high above the surrounding areas. Once known for the flocks of wild chocobos that dotted the meadows, the plateau is now overrun with giant sheep that are herded by the local Elvaan. The area is also characterized by deep crevices that seem to tear apart the land; torrential rainfall is also common. As a result of the heavy precipitation, rainbows can frequently be spotted while traveling through the plateau.

Ordelle's Caves

This is a beautiful set of limestone caves discovered by Lord Ordelle, the famed Elvaan explorer. When the map of the area was completed, the shape of the tunnels closely resembled a person's body; this resulted in the alias "the Body Caves," which is still used by the local Elvaan.

Selbina

Selbina was once a prosperous town that acted as a strategic port for the navy of Mindartia and a waypoint for travelers. But with the resurgence in the popularity of air travel, the town is slowly returning its focus to the local industry of fishing and stock farming.

Valkurm Dunes

This enormous expanse of dunes can be found along the Bhefhel Gulf. While a majority of the surrounding coastline is too shallow for larger sea vessels, one natural harbor does exist. Near this harbor lies the independent port town of Selbina.

Arrapago Islands
Arrapago Reef

This highly treacherous area is legendary for stranding many a ship. It is for this reason that the Arrapago Reef became the final bastion for a kingdom that was destroyed by an attack from Aht Urhgan. It is said that the kingdom's immense treasures still rest in the coastal caverns. However, the Lamiae are currently using the reef as their stronghold, guarded by the sleepless undead. Infiltrating the Arrapago Reef would be no easy task.

Caedarva Mire

This vast stretch of swampland covers two main islands (Azouph Isle, Dvucca Isle) and 2 small islands (Sharug Isle, Hediva Isle). "Caedarva" means "illusion" in the language of Ephramad. The mire is a dreary place covered in dense fog nearly all year round, yet it is also home to a multitude of animals and aquatic plants such as wild rice, lotuses, and thickets of shrubs. Caedarva Mire is well known as the ancient site of a great battle between the Empire of Aht Urhgan and the Kingdom of Ephramad. Now the area is enveloped in a struggle for supremacy between the Lamiae and their Undead Swarm, the Qiqirn of Nashmau, and the Near Eastern Fomors.

Hazhalm Testing Grounds

An area where alchemists fused the parts of various organisms to create new creatures known as chimeras. Lamiae, Merrows, puks, Mandragora, hydras, and khimairas were created here among many others, with khimairas being the originals. It is also supposedly where the earliest blue mages were created and thus likely the home of many flan and soulflayers. The Troll mercenary leader Megomak currently has an interest with the testing grounds' contents.

Ilrusi Atoll

Situated on the northern most point of the Arrapago Islands just beyond the Arrapago Reef, Ilrusi Atoll is a maze of small islands connected by shallow water and the wrecks of numerous ships and is the den of ferocious sea life as well as the Lamiae and their undead legions.

This area is an Assault area. A cage of Reef Fireflies is given to all participating mercenaries who enter. They can be used to return to the Ilrusi Atoll Staging Point.

Leujaoam Sanctum

The Leujaoam Sanctum is a mysterious network of caves undrneath the Caedarva Mire on the south-western side of the Arrapago Islands. The Leujaoam Sanctum is guarded by the Aht Urhgan forces at the Azouph Isle Staging Point and is home to several types of unique flaura and fauna.

Nashmau

After striking north from the Imperial capital, a perilous voyage across the roiling seas of the Cyan Deep will bring travelers to Azouph Isle. This mist-shrouded island is home to the solitary settlement of Nashmau. Once a supply base for the Imperial navy, it was abandoned after a plague descended upon its population; the Qiqirn have since taken the town as their own. The diminutive beastmen have reopened a section of the port in order to trade with fishermen and other visitors to the Arrapago Islands. To the east of Nashmau lies a stretch of mudlands known as the "Deadmist Marsh."

Periqia

Located along the western expanse of the Arrapago Islands this network of caverns and niches is littered with hiding places of those who wish to keep their operations quiet. Surely among the crates and barrels hidden from prying eyes scattered throughout there must be something of value...

This area an Assault area. A cage of Dvucca Fireflies is given to all participating mercenaries who enter. They can be used to return to the Dvucca Isle Staging Point.

Talacca Cove

This cove near the centre of the Arrapago Islands was once a port favoured by the ehpramadian corsairs who waged war against the Empire of Aht Urhgan. Now this ancient anchorage would seem abandoned by all but relics of an age gone past that lay among the debris and stones that border the shallows...

The Ashu Talif

The Ashu Talif is a famous pirate ship, originally believed by The Empire of Aht Urhgan to have been long destroyed. It is also a battlefield for a couple of Assault missions linked to quests. You cannot obtain mission orders from the commissions agency for The Ashu Talif. A cage of Cutter Fireflies is given to all participating mercenaries who enter. They can be used to return to the cutter found in the Arrapago Reef.

Halvung Territory
Halvung

Surrounding the base of Mount Zhayolm, the city of Halvung is a military fortification built by the Troll Mercenaries. While defensive foundations and mercenary barracks constructed from heat-resistant materials can be found above the surface, the bulk of Halvung is concentrated underground. The subterranean complex is favored by the mercenaries' employers--a faction of Moblins that splintered from Movalpolos in the distant past. The design of Halvung was based on the mobile homeland of the Moblins, with several modifications to allow for the towering frames of the Trolls. The location of Halvung also brings other benefits--cast metal and jewelry crafted using the abundant geothermal energy of the volcano provide a valuable source of black market income.

Lebros Cavern

An expansive cavern on the eastern side of the Halvung Territory. Filled with lava and other dangers common to the volcanic region the cavern has the been the site of many battle between the Imperial Army and the Troll Mercenaries.

Mount Zhayolm

Found across the ocean from Cape Mazklah, beyond the Sicklemoon Straits, Mount Zhayolm is an active twin volcano that rises from the islands of Vozold and Zazalda. Home to the Troll Mercenaries, the Halvung Territory was once recognized by Aht Urhgan as an independent state of the Empire. The constant rain of volcanic ash combined with occasional emissions of sulfuric gas have created a wasteland almost completely devoid of plant and animal life--an inhospitable land that saw very few travelers before the emergence of the Astral Candescence and the ensuing struggle.

Much of the map is blocked off by the Gates of Halvung in (H-8) and (J-7). To open these, you need a Cast Metal Plate (Key Item). This is found at a ??? point that moves around the zone. It seems to pop on the mounds with dead trees and Eruca on them; there are four of these on the map, one in each open area.

Navukgo Execution Chamber

A deep cavern found within the depths of Halvung is the core of the fiery volcano. It is the battleground for various quests, missions, and ISNMs.

Mamool Ja Savagelands
Aydeewa Subterrane

This extensive network of tunnels lying beneath the Wajaom Woodlands is covered in subterranean plants, ranging from vines to ferns, fungi, and moss, giving the caverns a unique vibrancy unseen on the surface. The Aydeewa Subterrane was once a site of the ancient Olduum civilization until sinking almost completely into the ocean. However, traces of the past can still be seen in the stone pillars and altars scattered about the area. The Empire of Aht Urhgan maintained the caverns until recently, when the increasing beastman threat forced them to withdraw. Now the Aydeewa Subterrane is plagued with Qiqirn and Mamool Ja thieves looking for treasure among the ruins.

Jade Sepulcher

An area located deep inside Mamook, accessible to mercenaries via the Bhaflau Thickets (near the Mamool Ja Staging Point). You must use the Ebony Door to do battle.

Mamook

The capital of Mamool Ja, Mamook was built deep in a forest on a peninsula west of the Aht Urhgan Empire. In order to control parasite infestations, the wooden structures that cover the capital are burned down and rebuilt every few years. Therefore, much of the construction in Mamook appears rather crude. Like the Mamool Ja's equipment, the few intricate decorative metals in the area were created by prisoners taken by Mamook. Furthermore, sacred stones situated in each area of the capital are believed to harbor the spirits of fallen Mamool Ja heroes and protect Mamook from evil.

Mamool Ja Training Grounds

Situated on the southern tip of the Mamool Ja Savagelands the training grounds are used by the Mamool Ja to train their warriors in new techniques as well as prepare for battle.

This area an Assault area. A cage of Bhaflau Fireflies is given to all participating mercenaries who enter. They can be used to return to the Mamool Ja Staging Point.

Wajaom Woodlands

The Wajaom woodlands cover a vast stretch of land to the west of the Imperial capital. The name "Wajaom," meaning "abundance" in the language of Aht Urhgan, is a fitting term to describe the rainforest tract that also encompasses the Bhaflau thickets to the north. The areas are home to a rich variety of fauna, from birds that hover in the air with their rapid wingbeats to bees that build hives of enormous size. Once the Imperial Army's watchtowers and patrolled routes allowed children to safely enjoy berry gathering in the forest, but due to the Empire's weakened defenses, the woodland paths are now used by the Mamool Ja for raids on the Imperial capital.

Ruins of Alzadaal
Alzadaal Undersea Ruins

These mysterious undersea ruins unilke any others in all of Vana'diel were until recently the subject of an investigation by the Aht Urhgan Archaeological Research Institute, but have been opened to the public since the survey's completion. A number of Qiqirn have come to inhabit the ruins and remain hostile to intruders.

Nyzul Isle

This area is the core of the Alzadaal Undersea Ruins. Assault missions inside of here are considered unofficial by the Empire and thus do not reward mercenaries with Assault Points.

Silver Sea Remnants / Arrapago Remnants / Bhaflau Remnants / Zhayolm Remnants

These four areas house several Salvage offers several new exploratory missions designed for alliances. While similar to Limbus battles in that up to 18 adventurers can participate, Salvage battles are more than a relentless assault on a seemingly never-ending wave of enemies—they will require precise teamwork and impeccable strategy to complete.

The main objective of Salvage missions is the exploration of the archaeological remains of four newly opened areas (Zhayolm Remnants, Arrapago Remnants, Bhaflau Remnants, Silver Sea Remnants) and the eradication the demonic beasts that rule their deepest depths. However, this will not be as easy as it sounds. A powerful force known only as the Pathos of Alzadaal limits the abilities of all who enter, making them easy prey for the hordes of fiends waiting in the shadows. To complete these missions, alliances must work as one, or the treasure that slumbers in the remnants' bowels will remain lost for eternity.

West Aht Urhgan
Aht Urhgan Whitegate

Protected by tall ramparts, the impregnable fortress city of Al Zahbi serves as the capital of the western half of the vast Empire of Aht Urhgan. The city resembles a labyrinth, with the roofs of stone buildings joining to form paths around structures built on a higher level. The serpentine designs seen throughout the city represent the two-headed snake king Zahak, a symbol of the Empire. Aht Urhgan Whitegate is known as the Merchant’s Ward. This diverse ward is home to merchants and craftsmen who provide their services to the area’s throngs of traders, mercenaries, and adventurers from foreign lands. The district also features two ports, one facing the inland sea to the north and another facing the open sea to the south. The Merchant’s Ward also serves as a western gate to the Empire.

Al Zahbi

This fairly new ward houses residents who have either not been granted or have been stripped of citizenship. Beastman attacks are a constant threat due to the district's location on the outskirts of town.

Bhaflau Thickets

The Bhaflau Thickets is a lush wooded area caught between the waters of the Cyan Deep and Sicklemoon Straits. Lying just outside the teeming city of Al Zahbi, adventurers are often spotted sneaking through the thickets on their way to the beastmen strongholds of Mamook and Halvung. Those not cautious enough will face a wide array of unfriendly beasts, from the gigantic Marids to tiny Chigoes, from the slow Treants to darting Puks. Be prepared, the thickets can claim even the most well-seasoned adventurer.

The Colosseum  - (Unreleased)

An area that will be added in the future. It was promised to be added in 2006 but little information was given. It was revealed to have a form of monster versus monster Conflict.
