Thavnair, home to city-state Radz-at-Han. Rising from the southeast waters of the Bounty, this isle of plenty served as the battleground for a conflict between two peoples. Their cultures bled into one another until a unique amalgamation was distilled from the chaos, in a process not unlike their precious alchemy. Once solidified as a single nation, an adamant stance of neutrality would hold invaders at bay. For a time. Now across this vibrant isle creeps a fog of malice. What choice do you have...what chance...against such an insidious foe?
Thavnair [ˈθæv.nɛər] is an island just south of the coast of Ilsabard and home to the city-state of Radz-at-Han. It is also known as the Near East. It was often mentioned in earlier parts of the game, and was made a visitable location in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker.
Profile[]
In the Bounty's southeastern waters lies the isle of Thavnair, where tropical coastline soon gives way to dense rainforest─though the intense heat and sweltering humidity remain much the same. The region is known as a rich source of the magically infused stone giantsgall, and the distinctive violet glow from its rocky outcrops lingers in the memories of visitors long after they depart its shores.

Settlements[]
Yedlihmad[]
[ˈjɛd.lɪˌmɑːd] Meaning “new harbor” in a language brought to the island's shores by mainland settlers, Yedlihmad is Thavnair's main port town. Owing to the shallow waters surrounding the island, however, larger trading vessels are forced to anchor at Alnair, and ferry over to the harbor in smaller boats before making their way to Radz–at–Han.
Akyaali[]
[ækˈjɑː.li] A small fishing village of the west coast of Thavnair.
The Great Work[]
Even in Thavnair, the birthplace of alchemy, the practitioners of House Daemir are renowned for the craft of their concoctions. It was they who founded the settlement of the Great Work, and to this day, many talented alchemists choose to reside here and carry on the family's peerless endeavors.
Palaka's Stand[]
A settlement where the keepers of the temples that dot the Shroud of the Samgha reside, alongside their families.
Svarna[]
A stretch of land in Saltwind's Welcome owned by Yedlihmad merchant Kancana and lent out to the displaced Hippor Riders of Vanaspati to serve as the base of operations in aid of their new courier trade.
Places of interest[]
Hamsa Hatchery[]
Hatcheries such as this were once used to breed Hamsa, a species of flightless bird believed to be a distant cousin of the chocobo. Hamsa serve both as mount and food staple to the people of Thavnair due to their sturdiness and reproduction rate. However the appearance of the Tower of Zot and the fiends within has resulted in many hatcheries being abandoned, and the hamsa fleeing into the wild.
Giantsgall Grounds[]
Quarried here by the wagonload, the purple-streaked stone known as “giantsgall” is one of Thavnair's most coveted exports. Incredibly dense and possessed of high aetherial conductivity, it is prized not only as a building material, but also as a component in the crafting of unyielding arms and armor, and the brewing of alchemical concoctions.
Kadjaya's Footsteps[]
Known as the mother of the Kriegstanz, Kadjaya is honored in both name and form at this open-air stage for dancers. Those who carry on her legacy perform here beneath her stone-carved likeness, strutting and twirling for the glory of their gods and ancestors.
The Font of Maya[]
This temple was once the abode of an order of Arkasodara ascetics who sought the divine enlightenment of maya. Abandoned for a stronghold deeper in the jungle, the structure now sits derelict and half-submerged in rainwater.
Khadga[]
Perhaps the most noticeable landmark in Thavnair besides the city of Radz-at-Han itself is this mountain spur jutting over the west coast into the Bounty. The path to the mountain is treacherous and fraught with peril, but for those who brave the ascent awaits a view unlike any other.
Activities[]
Duties[]
|
| Vrtra, great wyrm of the first brood and the hidden satrap of Radz–at–Han, has bid the Scions cross to Narunnair and mount a foray into the tiny island's unnatural spire─a Telophoroi structure known by the locals as the Tower of Zot. Your companions join you on the journey, protective talismans in hand, prepared to face whatever unnamed horrors await you within. Come what may, you cannot allow Nidhana and her kin to perish in the grip of dark magicks and darker designs... |
|
| The skies over Thavnair are aflame, and panic spreads through the populace like wildfire. One by one, civilians are twisted into grotesque fiends, hells-bent on slaughtering everything in sight. The deadliest of these creatures leads its newly spawned kin through the jungle, towards a number of smaller settlements, and as such, Ahewann has dispatched his Radiant Host to forestall the carnage. Though Vrtra, too, lends his strength to the cause, even that may prove insufficient, and thus do the Scions enter the fray. |
|
| Since the days of old, the imagination of the Thavnairian people has been captured by a persistent legend—the promise that somewhere, beneath the shimmering expanse of the Bounty, lies hidden the treasure vault of Alzadaal III. Yet how might one claim the fabled satrap's hoard where so many other reckless souls have tried and fallen? Will Estinien's dubious map lead you true to the rumored isle and its moldering ruins? Whatever peril waits ahead, it is certain to be an adventure! |
|
| Though seemingly impossible, Vrtra senses the presence of Azdaja in the Source, prompting you to travel north to bitterly cold Garlemald. In the mountains do you do battle with Cagnazzo, but though you prevail, your victory proves hollow. The archfiend of fire, Rubicante, seizes on your absence from Radz-at-Han and moves to destroy the voidgate in Alzadaal's Legacy. When confronted at the base of Khadga, he issues you a challenge─and thus do you make for the summit to extinguish the flame of the voidsent's ambition. |
