Kam ' lanaut Kam ' lanaut is one of the two remaining Zilart princes in " Final Fantasy XI " . He is the Archduke of the Grand Duchy of Jeuno , and rules alongside his brother Eald ' narche . Story . In truth , he is the younger brother of Eald ' narche , although he looks older due to the fact that Eald ' narche came into contact with one of the five Mothercrystals . Eald ' narche and Kam ' lanaut were the first two members of the Zilart to realize the pathway to opening the Gate of the Gods when they happened upon the Mothercrystal . Due to the " whisper of the soul " the Zilart possess , this vision was transferred to every member of the race , and they hungered to open the Gate of the Gods through the power of the five Mothercrystals . The Zilart built crystal pathways at the five Mothercrystals , and built a tower to focus the energy . Eventually their plan to open the Gate of the Gods was foiled by the Kuluu working with the Dawnmaidens of Altana , triggering a meltdown in Fei ' Yin and causing a cataclysmic explosion that destroyed the vast majority of the Zilart and many of the Kuluu . Upon the destruction of the Zilart , Kam ' lanaut and his brother slept frozen in the tower of the Delkfutt ' s reaction chamber until many years later when Raogrimm reactivated the crystals . When they awoke , the two of them found themselves in a different time , with the connection to Tu ' Lia broken . The princes could not repair the connection , as Raogrimm ' s existence was creating too much " noise " within the crystals . Eventually , they traveled to the nearby town of Jeuno . The two princes then set about improving their position , revealing the knowledge of Synthesis and crystal - powered engines to the people . Their influence took the small fishing town of Jeuno to a bustling city in a short period of time . By the time the rumblings of the Crystal War had begun , Kam ' lanaut had already become the leader of Jeuno , second only to Jeuno ' s home country , the Republic of Bastok . When the Beastmen began amassing , Kam ' lanaut proposed to the president that Jeuno secede from Bastok . This allowed the Republic to focus their troops on their home front , and also gave the Zilartian princes the power they desired . During the Crystal War , Kam ' lanaut gathered the four nations together , helping them to unite under the common banner of the Allied Forces of Altana . It was this union that allowed the Enlightened Races to successfully drive the beastmen back , eventually carving a path to the home of the Shadow Lord himself . When the beastmen were finally defeated , the Archduke was hailed as a hero , and the two Zilart princes had earned the trust of the people , exactly as they had hoped . It was this trust that allowed them to restart their plans to open the Gate of the Gods . The Zilart princes formed the Armathrwn Society to this end , gathering together the few Zilart left , as well as some loyal Kuluu . It was not until twenty years later , in the Age of Adventurers , that the princes ' plan would finally begin to come to fruition . The Archduke enlisted the aid of the Adventurer sent by their region of origin in order to obtain magicite from each of the three beastmen strongholds . When this Adventurer went on to defeat the Shadow Lord a second time and end his resurrection , the princes were finally able to put their plan into action . When the Shadow Lord is defeated , the Zilart princes summon the Warriors of the Crystal in order to defeat the Adventurer and the others assembled there . Raogrimm , in an act of atonement , uses the last of his power in order to delay the Warriors and the Zilart princes , allowing the Adventurer to escape . Believing the Adventurer to be dead , the Zilart princes continue with their plan , attempting to repair the Chrysalis Core in Delkfutt ' s tower in order to open the pathway to the Floating Continent of Tu ' Lia , ordering the Ducal Guard to kidnap Aldo ' s sister Verena in order to use her power to resonate with the spirits of the beastmen in order to open the pathway . With the guidance of the Kuluu and a holograph of Dawnmaiden Yve ' noile , the Adventurer find the princes and attempt to stop them from reviving the Chrysalis Core . When Kam ' lanaut is defeated , Eald ' narche casts him aside , using Verena in order to open the pathway to Tu ' Lia . Kam ' lanaut fades back to the Mothercrystal as Eald ' narche restores the path to Tu ' Lia . Both Kam ' lanaut and Eald ' narche reappear in the " Apocalypse Nigh " quest ( available only to players who complete both the " Rise of the Zilart " and " " expansion storylines and challenge Bahamut ) , where both are simultaneously fought in a rematch at the Empyreal Paradox . They trick the player and their companions into resurrecting them and other deceased villains to achieve their goal - to become the next Keeper of the Apocalypse , bringing about the destruction of Vana ' diel and opening the Gate of the Gods . However , the combined might of the player and companions destroy them once more . Battle .
