Eastern Thanalan is a location in Final Fantasy XIV.

Story

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Eastern Thanalan becomes a focal point after joining the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, in which the Adventurer and Thancred investigate disappearances of refugees. This is learned to be caused by Ungust posing as a priest to in order to traffick them to the Amalj'aa. Due to treachery by him and a corrupt Brass Blade, the Adventurer is captured and brought before the primal Ifrit, who slays the Lord of the Inferno in combat.

Later, after the raid on the Waking Sands, the Adventurer is directed to the Church of Saint Adama Landama to seek refuge with Father Iliud.

Spoilers end here.

Locations

Eastern Thanalan connects to Central Thanalan and Southern Thanalan in the southwest, and leads to South Shroud in the northeastern corridor.

Geographically, Eastern Thanalan is much less arid than the rest of the region, and even exhibits a surprising amount of heavy rain. The amount of plant life is noticeably higher as well. The center of the zone contains a huge north-to-south chasm thanks to the Calamity, which can only be crossed via Highbridge.

Aetherytes

There only Aetheryte is at Camp Drybone.

Areas

Eastern Thanalan contains the following areas:

• Drybone - The main savannah in the northeast.
• Sandgate – Barren direct canyons in the south.
• Wellwick Wood - A woodland area near the border to Black Shroud.
• The Burning Wall - A remote eastern canyon containing crystal deposits and winding walkways.

Settlements

Camp Drybone

Camp Drybone.

Named for the nearby ponds, this dugout settlement facilitates the lichyards of the Church of Saint Adama Landama, and contains an inn with the inappropriate name of "Eternal Rest." Since the Calamity, it has become home to an increasing number of refugees.

Golden Bazaar

Formerly a major waypoint for caravans traveling between Ul'dah and Gridania, it became much important due to the changes of routes with the creation of Highbridge. Rumors of untapped mythril deposits in the nearby hills have prevented the town from completely dying out.

Highbridge

A large bridge and settlement built over the immense chasm formed twain through the center. The discovery of ruins within the opened earth has drawn many researchers, in addition to caravaners. Unfortunately, it has also been plagued with frequent raids by a Qiqirn camp on the Amalj'aa payroll.

Weather

The Central Shroud's climate may exhibit any of the following weather conditions:

Weather	Frequency
Clear Skies	40%
Fair Skies	20%
Showers	15%
Clouds	10%
Fog	10%
Rain	5%

Places of interest

The Church of Saint Adama Landama

This church presides over a major lichyard in the Thanalan region.

The Invisible City

These Belah'dian ruins were unearthed by Bahamut's fury in the Calamity, and would likely not have been discovered otherwise. Scholars speculate they may be the tomb complex of Lalafuto IV.

The Lonely Giant

The corpse of a goobbue believed to have been fleeing from the fires of the Calamity, before dying of exhaustion. Many exotic plants are seen growing around the body.

Halatali

Main article: Halatali

These proving grounds have long been used for gladiator sport by Ul'dah, but it was abandoned in the aftermath of the Calamity and now mainly contains captive creatures.

Thal's Respite

A shrine to Thal, god of traders, along the road in Wellwick Wood. Due to its remote location, only the devout make pilgrimages.

The Burning Wall

Before the Calamity, the Burning Wall was an unscalable cliff named for its signature glow at sunset. Since then, the cliff had been destroyed by a fragment of Dalamud, and massive orange corrupted crystal formations have sprouted in its wake, giving new meaning to its name.

Activities

Duties

Halatali Dungeon Level 20 Halatali (x14 y30)

Originally a holy place for the first Lalafell arrived in Eorzea, the twisting labyrinth of natural caverns which wind through this massive mesa was transformed by the Gladiators' Guild into a series of training pits, animal pens, and holding cells to accommodate the ever-growing popularity of Ul'dah's Coliseum. After the Calamity, however, the location was abandoned─those remaining in the pens, left for dead. Not all of them, however, met that fate, and now the tunnels are rife with those who survived...as well as the tormented spirits of those who did not.

halatali hard Dungeon Level 50 Item level 55 Halatali (x14 y30)

Halatali! The very name turns some spines to water and others to steel. Lurid marks of the recent lawlessness yet remain, but daily the drudges conquer halls slick with ichor and doorways festooned with things not for gentle eyes. No less deadly for its newly restored order, the fabled training grounds yearn for new blood─perhaps to brighten the freshly scrubbed walls of its vast chambers.

bowl of embers Trial Level 20 Zanr'ak via Camp Drybone (x14 y23) during Lord of the Inferno

Owing to a betrayal, you have been captured by the Amalj'aa and taken to their stronghold of Zanr'ak, there to be given as an offering to the primal Ifrit. If you are to survive this fiery encounter with the Lord of the Inferno, you and your comrades must fight with no less than every onze of your strength. Should you fall, your souls shall burn for eternity...

A Relic Reborn: the Hydra Trial Level 50 Item level 52 Halatali (x14 y30)

Left to starve in their abandoned training grounds, the fighting beasts of Halatali have survived on the flesh of the unprepared these past five years. Some have prospered more than others in the abattoir gloom; the hydra reposes fat and malignant, an apt pupil for your yet unfinished relic. Seek out this foul orphan of the Calamity, and let the bards sing of it. ※You cannot change weapons once bound by duty. Please ensure that you have equipped your unfinished relic weapon if you are undertaking this trial in order to complete the quest “A Relic Reborn.”

dragon's neck Trial Level 50 Item level 80 Halatali (x14 y30)

It's a frenetic free-for-all as the Mythril Cup moves to Halatali for the climactic confrontation! Rain will lash and winds will bluster in this perfect storm of a battle. When the tempest subsides, who will rise above the chaos to lay claim to the victor's spoils? Will it be the Warrior of Light, savior of Eorzea and champion of her people, or the dastardly duo of Ultros and Typhon!? All will be answered in Halatali, atop the Dragon's Neck!

Hall of the Novice Training Level 15 Halatali (x14 y30)

License to Quill	15-20	Drybone (x12 y27)	15 minutes	Defeat the steelquill tuco-tucos.
	Tuco-tuco quills are prized for their durability, and sought by weavers across the realm to use as sewing and knitting needles. The spines of steelquill tuco-tucos, however, are a different story. When shed along the Royal Sunway, they can cause grievous injuries to chocobos and other beasts of burden who use the roads. Slay steelquill tuco-tucos, and keep the thoroughfares clear.

Almost Paradise	17-22	Drybone (x13 y20)	15 minutes	Defeat the dry slugs.
	Anyone who has been to Drybone can easily see how the place earned its name. It is an unforgiving place─arid and dry beyond compare. What little water can be found in the area is so prized, men have been known to trade gold just for a sip. This is why the few springs must be protected from those who would foul them─slugs.
Deep in the Heart of Sagolii	17-22	Drybone (x17 y24)	15 minutes	Defeat the elder longhorn and its herd.
	Elder longhorns are extremely territorial and will attack anything which draws too close to their dens.

Drive the goats back to the mountains where they belong.
Westward Bound	18-23	Drybone (x16 y26)	15 minutes	Defeat the Amalj'aa archers, lancers, and pugilists.

Spawn conditions: Fail Attack on Highbridge: Act I or Attack on Highbridge: Act II. Speak with the Brass Blade. This FATE or the NPC to start it will remain active until it is successfully completed, preventing the chain from restarting.
Desert Rose	26-31	Wellwick Wood (x27 y17)	15 minutes	Defeat the kedtraps.
	Riding on the dry north winds out of the Black Shroud, kedtrap seeds have taken root in Thanalan. Without any natural predators, the seedkin are free to roam the desert unchecked, consuming everything in their path. The creatures must be tended to before they render the desert even more deserted than it already is!
Manifest Destiny	27-32	Wellwick Wood (x25 y20)	15 minutes	Defeat the Amalj'aa bruisers, lancers, and rangers.

Bad Hair Day	42-47	The Burning Wall (x27 y24)	15 minutes	Defeat Aeetes.

The Big Bagoly Theory	42-47	The Burning Wall (x30 y25)	15 minutes	Defeat Bagoly.
	After showing absolutely no signs that they were any more than twisted masses of metal, debris fallen from Dalamud five summers past is coming to life and brutally attacking those unfortunate enough to come across the inorganic creatures. One of these “mirrorknights,” as the people call them, has been sighted destroying a farmstead nearby.
