Wonder ( Tactics ) Wonders , also called unexplored lands , are a set of unlockable extras in " Final Fantasy Tactics " . Discovering every wonders gives the player the maximum explorer rank , but finding wonders does not otherwise affect the game . They are parallel to the artefacts , which act in much the same way . They are unlocked by taking errands from a tavern , with a set group of errands resulting in the player discovering a randomly - chosen wonder . Each wonder is a short description of an ancient ruin or mystical region , all of them drawn from " Final Fantasy " tradition . Some of them would be accurate descriptions even if they were transplanted into their originating games , though many mix and match elements . This practice would later be echoed by the final boss - inspired Espers in " Final Fantasy XII " . There are some significant differences between the narratives found in the original " Final Fantasy Tactics " and those in the " War of the Lions " remake . This is due to the more faithful translation of the latter , which took note of such things as the Cataclysm , interpreted by the original translators as a number of unrelated events . List of wonders . Shrine of Chaos . When the world was young , the primal deities sealed Jaed the Netherlord deep beneath the earth . Its decrepit chambers tainted by a foul and unholy air , the Shrine of Chaos is said to mark the site of his prison . Forbidden Land Eureka . This once prosperous capital of the Kashka Dynasty was destroyed in the Cataclysm , along with the vast legacy of its royal family . It is now a necrohol , populated by spirits drawn to the shades of its past glory . Pandaemonium . The capital of the ancient Palamecian Empire . The towering mountain range encircling the city guarded it from even the most ambitious airship captains . A warping device was the only means of bypassing this natural barrier . Mirage Tower . This ancient tower links the Castle of Ronka to the earth below . Its magicked façade shields it against casual inspection . However , the enchantment ' s unstable nature allows it to be seen as a mirage - like image at times . Floating Castle . The winged ones possessed technology allowing them to transmute cloudstone into crystals , like the ones that keep this castle aloft . Unfortunately , both the winged ones and their wondrous knowledge were lost in the Cataclysm . Matoya ' s Cave . Court thaumaturge Matoya once enjoyed the adoration of the ancient Ronkan peoples , but that ended with her creation of the Enthralled — a work of witchcraft to the lay eye . It was then she took up residence here . Crystal Tower . This spire , once the heart of the ancient kingdom of Baron , was protected by the labyrinthine city at its base . The tower ’ s crystal walls were a symbol of the royal family ’ s wealth and power , but also of oppression . Floating Continent . Theories once abounded as to what this mass of land might be . Academics have now settled on one prevailing theory : The Cataclysm caused a shift in the balance of subterranean cloudstone , allowing it to surface . Fortress of Trials . Once a place of training for the royal guard in the ancient kingdom of Baron , this castle was lost in the Cataclysm . Graduates of the institution once filled the ranks of the Red Wings , a prestigious airship corps . Tower of Babel . A legendary tower that extends to the heavens from deep below the earth . Also called the Tower of the Colossi , this mighty spire withstood the Cataclysm , and is a priceless remnant of ancient civilization . Ronkan Ruins . The Ronkan Dynasty dominated the world from its skyborne castle until an enigmatic plague brought about its sudden and tragic demise . Today its empty ruins float in a cold and desolate silence . Falgabard . This village is said to have been inhabited by an order of dark knights . While the fell blades of these knights lent them great power , they also cut short their lives . The order ’ s numbers dwindled , until at last none remained . Phantom Train . The Phantom Train became so known for its primary purpose during an ancient war — the transport of battalions of the ghastly Enthralled . It is also called the Chariot of the Damned . Tozus Village . A race of gnomes known as the Lilliputians inhabits this village . These gnomes were ruled by a merciless dictator until a mighty giant known as Atlas freed them at long last from their oppression . Chocobo forest . Naught but a glimpse of light creeps into this deep wood . Rare breeds of chocobo thrive in this mystical forest , and the World Tree is rumoured to be at its center . The pungent scent of chocobo fills the air . Semitt Falls . A site of significance for the ancient Palamecian Empire . Mythril was mined beneath these majestic falls , while extacium — a fuel used by the airships of the day — could be gleaned from their magickal waters .
