Sagolii Dunes

The southernmost part of the southernmost part of Thanalan, the Sagolii Dunes are a vast expanse of windblown desert. Many are the lives that have been lost to its unforgiving demands, so that only the hardiest souls--or most dangerous beasts--thrive upon the sand.

To the north of the Sagolii lies Zanr'ak, and to its east, the Grand Wake and Paglth'an.

The main outpost travelers are apt to find welcoming to them in this place is Forgotten Springs, the home village of the U tribe of Seekers of the Sun miqo'te--though that welcome may often be as cold as the sands are hot. South of there stands a great drilling outpost known as Byregot's Strike, where the Sons of Saint Coinach carry out their investigation of Allagan ruins. Beyond that, the only Spoken beings in the region are the ever-present Amalj'aa, more so than in any other part of Thanalan. To them, the Sagolii is not a terrible wasteland of death and fire, but a hallowed ground purified by Ifrit. They cross its sands to make pilgrimage from Paglth'an, their home in the east, to Zanr'ak; and their untested youth prove their strength against the beasts that swim beneath the shifting desert.

Those beasts, despite the hardness of the land, are numerous, and themselves fierce by necessity. Sundrakes, anglers, fire sprites, and smoke bombs sift over the surface of the sands, while beneath its surface swim great sandworms. Worse yet, from its depths emerge tragic ashkin revenants. Here too are also more innocuous "wavekin"--though these swim only in the waves of sand and not water; thus is this desert a paradise for those who have mastered the art of Dunefishing.
