'''Xarcabard''' was once an uninhabited wasteland found west of the [[Fauregandi Front#Beaucedine Glacier|Beaucedine Glacier]]. The rise of the Shadow Lord brought a range of foul creatures to the area, however, and during the war it crawls with his [[Ahriman (Final Fantasy XI)|Ahriman]], [[Gargouille]], [[Imp (Final Fantasy XI)|Imp]], [[Demon (Final Fantasy XI)|Kindred]], and [[Taurus (Final Fantasy XI)|Taurus]] minions. [[Gigas (Final Fantasy XI)|Gigas]] and [[Gnole]] forces also patrol Xarcabard in support of the Confederate. Above all these threats soar the terrifying [[Amphiptere (Final Fantasy XI)|Amphipteres]], further complicating attempts by the Alliance to approach Castle Zvahl, the Shadow Lord's citadel, at the western edge of the snowfield.

The Dark Kindred assign a squadron of [[Dragon (Final Fantasy XI)|dragons]] to operations in Xarcabard. Their commander, a demonic [[Dark Knight (Final Fantasy XI)|dark knight]] named Shadowsoul, has the ability to convert all damage against him into health.

A [[Threshold#Veridical Conflux|Veridical Conflux]] in the south links Xarcabard to the mysterious [[Threshold#Walk of Echoes|Walk of Echoes]].
