Oeilvert

Oeilvert (ウイユヴェール, Uiyuvēru) is a location in Final Fantasy IX. Its name is derived from the French words oeil, meaning eye, and vert, meaning green. Standing on the Forgotten Continent, it is an ancient structure that holds Terran technology and history and information about Terra. An anti-magic field prevents visitors from casting magic inside the structure. Kuja sent Zidane to Oeilvert to get the Gulug Stone in his stead, as he was reluctant to carry out the feat himself due to the anti-magic barrier. Oeilvert becomes inaccessible in disk 4.

Story
When Zidane and his party enter Oeilvert, they find it was was built by the Terrans and holds devices that record Terran history. The holographs strewn across the ruins depict a Terran civilization that was advanced and inquisitive about its world, yet ultimately dying. This plight is partially explained in an antechamber by multiple stone faces. Despite all the information left behind by the Terrans, the player party is unable to draw any basal conclusions from the multiple holographs, and so head to the ruins' core to fetch the Gulug Stone. A levitating construct, Ark, protects the stone. Once defeated, Zidane is able to collect it.

Oeilvert is one of the locations that originally existed on Terra that ended up on Gaia 5,000 years ago due to Garland's failed attempt to merge the two planets into one.
