PLOT

New Areas
- The isles of Thavnair and Radz-at-Han. Lots of feral, native Adamantoises and onion farms. New Giantsgall weapons and armor. Thavnair also marks the beginning of FFXIV's story eventually leading to Othard.
- Paglth'an, the great desert east of Thanalan. Before the ruins of Sil'dih was uncovered by the calamity, the ancient city-state could be seen as a mirage to the east. Desert nomads?
- O'Ghomoro (not to be confused with U'Ghomoro Mines). The ancient homeland of the Kobolds, players could traverse this volcano and learn more about the fate of Nym, the War of the Magi, and the creation of La Noscea. Or it could be relegated to Xelphatol status because reasons.
Real Things That Are Definitely Going To Happen
