Nanamo Ul Namo

Sultana Nanamo Ul Namo  is a character from Final Fantasy XIV. She was formerly the sultana of Ul'dah, the seventeenth in the line of Ul, the royal family of the city-state.

Though nominally the head of state of Ul'dah, her power is greatly limited by the Syndicate. Most of her influence is due to her right-hand man Flame General Raubahn Aldynn, the head of the Immortal Flames.

Appearance
Nanano Ul Namo is a female Dunesfolk Lalafell with pale skin and green eyes.

Concept art of Nanamo seems to suggest that, earlier in her design phase, she was going to be darker-skinned like many other Ul'dah residents (though retaining her light hair); in the published game, she is very fair-skinned, notably more so than most other inhabitants of the city, with only her eyes to distinguish her as a Dunesfolk.

Final Fantasy XIV
As the Battle of Carteneau raged in Mor Dhona, Nanamo remained in Ul'dah. Following the advice of Thancred, she went to the Arrzaneth Ossuary to pray to The Twelve. As Dalamud ruptured and Bahamut unleashed his fury upon Eorzea, Nanamo could see a pillar of light release from the mark of Thal before falling unconscious. In the days that followed, she was instrumental in restoring order to the city.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
The Sultana delivers a speech during the Carteneau memorial service, propped on Raubahn's arm. She is later seen presiding over the Eorzean Alliance meeting discussing the terms of Gaius van Baelsar's ultimatum. Though the leaders considered capitulating in light of the struggles following the Calamity, the return of Minfilia and the Scions convinced them to retaliate against the Black Wolf with Operation Archon.

The Sultana becomes more prominent on the Main Scenario quests added with Patch 2.2 and 2.3. After Alphinaud pulls strings to arrange an audience for the Doman refugees, Nanamo, Raubahn, and the Syndicate hear Yugiri's testimony. Despite being moved by her plight, Nanamo and Teledji Adeledji are unable to sway the other Syndicate members in the face of Lord Lolorito's filibuster, who turn down Yugiri's request for asylum. They later learn that Teledji Adeledji had stirred up unrest in Ul'dah among the other refugees in response to the Domans being turned away. During a confidential meeting with Alphinaud and the Adventurer, Nanamo revealed that the Carteneau Flats holds a secret – "Omega" – and the Carteneau Reclamation Bill was likely the reason Teledji incited the riots, as a means to get to it.

In Patch 2.4, Nanamo Ul Namo holds a meeting with Kan-E-Senna and Admmiral Merlwyb about her plans to dissolve the Syndicate, then in 2.55, give the save conversation of the plan with the Warrior of Light during the feast after the fall of Vishap. During their conversation, when the Sultana drinks the wine, she begins to collapse. When Teledji and the Crystal Braves enter the Royal Chamber, he claims that she has been poisoned and accused the Warrior of Light and the Scions of regicide.



Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward
In Heavensward, it is revealed by Dewlala that Lolorito had caught up to Teledji Adeledji's assassination plan. Having no desire to have the Sultana killed, he had Nanamo's servant swap the poison with a potent sleeping potion instead, while taking advantage of the situation. Lororito gives the antidote to Raubahn who soon wakes her up.

Voice
Nanamo is voiced by in the Japanese version of the game and Erin Fitzgerald in the English version.

Trivia

 * During the main story quest chain for the Adventurer starting in Ul'dah, the Adventurer runs into Sultana Nanamo Ul Namo at the Sultantree when she's disguised as Lady Lilira. While Papashan tries to hide the identity of Nanamo to protect her, it becomes quite obvious that she is indeed the Sultana herself simply from quotes alone.
 * Nanamo has gained a great deal of memetic fame for the way in which she tends to "ride" on Raubahn Aldynn's arm during public ceremonies involving the two; this has led to jokes among the playerbase that Lalafells in general should get access to Highlander "mounts".
 * The final Culinarian quest has the Adventurer prepare a banquet for Nanamo during a state visit to Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn.
 * If a player completes the Culinarian quests after Patch 2.55, they have an anachronistic scene were Nanamo and Lolorito are present at the state dinner despite the fact the former should be dead. This may be because the quest is meant to chronologically take place around the time of Operation Archon, regardless of the actual order of when a player completes them.
