The Quadav are a race of turtle-like bipedal Beastmen in Final Fantasy XI. Their capital is Beadeaux, a swampy region near the Pashhow Marshlands, and they are neighbors to the Humes and Galka in the Republic of Bastok. They burrow and mine for a living.
While the Bastok nation has been carved by enterprising Humes out of the former Quadav territories, presumably by the strength of the tough Galka, Quadavs have remained in control of the nearby Palborough Mines. They are found almost exclusively on the continent of Quon. Their kingdom, as they are ruled by The Adamanking, is nestled, perhaps uncomfortably, between Bastok, the Kingdom of San d'Oria, and the Grand Duchy of Jeuno.
Quadavs are closely tied to earth and water elements, which covers the two more prevalent terrain types they inhabit and toil about. The Quadav identify themselves individually and culturally with the materials with which they work. As their shells thicken with age, the titles given to individual Quadav change. Within their strict caste system, those chosen to serve in the Elite Guard are given titles portraying hard and precious metals, while those chosen to be magicians are given titles taken from precious gems.
The Quadav have long possessed an understanding of metallurgical technology, and have adapted their skills in metalworking to even create fire-fueled incubators with pipes to carry warm air into the ground to warm the damp caves where their eggs are kept.
