On the far side of that great bridge unfolded the wilds of Shaaloani—"where the sun guides" in the Shetona tongue. A harsh guide, to be sure, with its blazing rays scorching the land and hardening its inhabitants. But sweeping change had come to the arid expanse when, beneath its red crust, vast deposits of ceruleum were discovered. Embracing this opportunity, Vow Koana's supporters hurtle on, driven by dreams of a future illuminated by blue flame. It is here that our journey continues, our path taking us along wending roads of steel. Each length of track a declaration of hope—and ambition.
Shaaloani is a location in Final Fantasy XIV introduced in the expansion Dawntrail.

Behind the scenes[]
Shaaloani is based on the so-called Wild West, the United States' period of westward expansion. This is reflected in several ways: the towns' architecture and presence of Machinists reference cowboys, the Ceruleum mining mirrors oil rigs, and the people who still follow their traditional ways of life reflect the native tribes of America's Great Plains and Southwest. Fittingly, the residents of Shaaloani speak in American accents.
