Ru'Aun Gardens

Ru'Aun Gardens is a location in Final Fantasy XI.
== Locations ==
=== Islands of the Divine Guardians ===
Four floating islands around Ru'Aun Gardens are each guarded by the Divine Guardian of a cardinal point. Adventurers in possession of rare items acquired from NMs in Tu'Lia are able to challenge the four Divine Guardians, collectively known as the Shijin, on these islands. Access to each island is restricted whenever a Divine Guardian is being challenged.
The Shijin are Genbu of the North, Byakko of the West, Seiryu of the East and Suzaku of the South.
=== Pincerstones ===
Various pincerstones can be found around Ru'Aun Gardens. Each pincerstone can be used to activate a nearby blue Zilartian portal for a short while, allowing passage to another island.
=== Portals ===
Ancient Zilartian portals are the only mode of transport between the various floating islands in Ru'Aun Gardens. While some portals are perpetually active, others are only temporarily activated by the use of pincerstones.
* Blue portals are used to transport adventurers between the five main islands in Ru'Aun Gardens and require the activation of a pincerstone.
* Yellow portals are used to access the islands of the Shijin. Access is restricted whenever the Shijin of that island is being challenged.
* Red portals are used to transit between the entrances of La'Loff Amphitheater and the major islands of Ru'Aun Gardens.
* Purple portals take adventurers from the islet connecting to the Hall of the Gods to the main island of Ru'Aun Gardens.
* Green portals take adventurers back to the islet connecting to the Hall of the Gods.
=== Data Registration Device ===
:Position:(G-9), (I-9)
Two Zilartian data registration devices can be found on Ru'Aun Gardens. Their purpose is to register users who may choose to arrive at Ru'Aun Gardens via a teleportation platform in the Hall of Transference.
=== Planar Rift ===
:Position: (G-5), (I-11), (J-6)
These mysterious rifts are disturbances in the fabric of time and space. It is from here that extradimensional invaders of unknown origin, collectively known as "Voidwalkers", breach into Vana'diel. To stem the tide of invasion, adventurers may volunteer themselves in Voidwatch operations to dispatch these intruders at the source. The fiend Aello can be found at the Planar Rifts here.
