Fauregandi Fauregandi is a region of northeastern Quon in " Final Fantasy XI " . It was a populated area in ancient times and a key theater during the Crystal War . In the present day , however , it is simply a frozen wasteland that most citizens of Vana ' diel do well to avoid . Conquest . The following area is subject to Conquest . Zones . Beaucedine Glacier . The Beaucedine Glacier is the icy sheet that covers most of the Fauregandi region . Raging blizzards frequently block the visibility of those attempting to navigate its winding valleys . When the snow clears , ruins from two distinct architectural styles can be seen among the desolation . These give budding archaeologists several sites at which to focus their attention . The glacier boasts a number of Gigas and Goblin inhabitants . It also features a remarkably robust tiger population . A passage in southern Beaucedine leads to an isolated section of Batallia Downs . Another route in the northwest connects it to Xarcabard . The Fauregandi region ' s outpost lies roughly at the area ' s center . Ranguemont Pass . Ranguemont Pass is a long , narrow tunnel running between East Ronfaure and the Beaucedine Glacier to the northeast . As it exposes the Kingdom of San d ' Oria to the myriad threats of the Northlands , its deeper reaches are barred by a gate and guarded by a cadre of knights . Beyond this barricade roam a range of foul creatures , including members of the Hecteyes and Ahriman families . Fei ' Yin . Fei ' Yin is the remains of an ancient Zilart city that rises above the northern Beaucedine Glacier . It was the objective of the famous Multinational Expedition that braved the Northlands ten years before the Crystal War . Though it swarmed with vile creatures at that time , the armies of the Alliance of Altana exterminated most of Fei ' Yin ' s foul inhabitants in the wake of the conflict . It remains haunted by unholy ghosts and shadows - and strange devices yet patrol its halls - but it is no longer the insurmountable nightmare that faced the storied expedition . Qu ' Bia Arena . Qu ' Bia Arena is an subsection of eastern Fei ' Yin . Though its ascending rows of seating no longer draw spectators , its ground occasionally hosts contemporary battles . At the end of the Great War , the Alliance of Altana used the arena as the focal point of a seal intended to contain the evils of the Northlands . Cloister of Frost . The Cloister of Frost is a chamber of lower Fei ' Yin constructed around the protocrystal of ice . It is through this chilling phenomenon that the avatar Shiva may be encountered . Pso ' Xja . Pso ' Xja is a collection of extensive , mostly subterranean ruins that lie beneath the Beaucedine Glacier . The six towers that function as its entrances closely resemble those seen across Sarutabaruta . Researchers eager to explain this likeness must first contend with the Tenshodo , however , as they regard Pso ' Xja as their property . Venturing beyond the Diremite s , Tonberries , and other beasts that have come to inhabit Pso ' Xja , one may discover the darkness of Promyvion . The Shrouded Maw . The Shrouded Maw is a secluded chamber at the deepest level of Pso ' Xja . Its glowing pedestal is a portal to the realm of Diabolos , the avatar of dreams .
