Dalmasca Estersand



The Dalmasca Estersand (東ダルマスカ砂漠 Higashi Darumasuka Sabaku) is a location on the land of Ivalice in Final Fantasy XII. It is located to the east of the city of Rabanastre and surrounds part of it, as well as the the Nalbina Fortress which is located to the northeast of the city. The river Nebra crosses it, dividing it into a north and south.

Location
The Dalmasca Estersand is located just to the east of the Royal City of Rabanastre, in the Dalmasca region. Unlike the Dalmasca Westersand, the area mostly consists of wide open desert. Continue east to reach the Nalbina Fortress and the entrance to the Barheim Passage, or north to the Mosphoran Highwaste.

Weather
Dalmasca Estersand has two weather conditions:
 * Sunny
 * Cloudy (sky is brownish)

The Outpost
Just a little further east of Rabanastre is the Outpost. A stop-off for people traveling through the desert, it is not really a town.

Lately, a "Flowering" Cactite has been tormenting people staying here. A hunt is available early on in the game for the Flowering Cactite.

Depending on where the player is in the story, different people can be found trekking through the Outpost:
 * 1) Before killing Rogue Tomato.
 * 2) After killing Rogue Tomato.
 * 3) Before obtaining Dawn Shard.
 * 4) After obtaining Dawn Shard.
 * 5) After fighting Judge Bergan in Mt. Bur-Omisace.
 * 6) After the events in Pharos at Ridorana.

Bank Village
A village on the banks of the River Nebra, with each part located on either side. Crossing the river is possible by ferry. Recently, all the men were kidnapped by Cactites, but were rescued by Vaan when he found their missing family member.

The Barheim Key, allowing entry back into the Barheim Passage can be received after an errand-running side quest to restore a traveler to health. Other than fishing, there is not much else to be done here.
