The Thunder Plains
Plains of lightning, plains of thunder, those who cross are torn asunder.
Maechen
The Thunder Plains, also known as the Gandof Thunder Plains, is a long open barren landscape, which connects Guadosalam to Macalania Woods. It is constantly bombarded by lightning and thunder. Long ago, the plains were a travellers nightmare, until an Al Bhed named Bilghen set up several towers to serve as Lightning Rods, after a suggestion by summoner Gandof. He was in the process of setting up the final tower when he was struck by lightning and killed. In Final Fantasy X the plains are still treacherous, but the towers draw most of the lightning away. Rikku is very reluctant to pass due to a severe case of astraphobia. Following the start of the Eternal Calm, the Al Bhed have repaired the lightning towers to make the area safe for travelers. However, their repairs do not seem to have completely stabilized them.
The only recorded time that the endless storm across the Thunder Plains ceased was when Yuna sang her song "1000 Words" on the deck of the Celsius during Final Fantasy X-2. Shortly after the song started, the rain stopped, and by the end, the clouds had parted and the sun shone down on the barren plains. By the time she awoke in the cabin of the Celsius airship, the storm had resumed.
