Nanamo Ul Namo

Nanamo Ul Namo in A Realm Reborn.

Sultana Nanamo Ul Namo is a character from Final Fantasy XIV. She is the current 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 and Personality

Concept art.

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.

Story

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

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.[1]

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 & 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 Telediji 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 the wake of rioting and widespread unrest in Ul'dah, Nanamo establishes a plan to abdicate the throne and end the line of Ul, turning the nation of Ul'dah into a true republic. She confides these feelings first to her fellow heads of state, and later, during the celebration of Ishgard's defense, to the Warrior of Light. While she is meeting with them, however, Nanamo drinks poisoned wine, killing her instantly. The Monetarists aboard the Syndicate use the opportunity to accuse the Warrior of Light and all the Scions of regicide, and their Brass Blades take full control of the city.

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.
  • The final Culinarian quest has the Adventurer prepare a banquet for Nanamo during a state visit to Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn.
  • 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 in the Adventurer's base that Lalafells in general should get access to Highlander "mounts".
