Gaia (Final Fantasy)

Gaia is a town from Final Fantasy, located on the north-eastern continent of the world. Because of the mountains around it, it is accessible only by airship. There is a spring in Gaia that is home to fairies, many being found and sold in black markets such as the Caravan. Buying one and returning her to the spring earns the party the Oxyale needed to breathe underwater, allowing them to enter the Sunken Shrine.

Gaia appears as ruins on the game's world map, at the Mirage Desert region. It is only accessible in the Confessions of the Creator scenario, after clearing the South Lufenia gateway, which is when the Teleport Stone located near it becomes active. A multi-floor gateway can be found inside: the Forsaken Lands Gateway.
