Meriphataud Mountains

The Meriphataud Mountains is an area in Final Fantasy XI, located in the Aragoneu region. Its harsh badlands are home to equally harsh creatures that can survive in the climate, such as the Yagudo, whose base of operations, Castle Oztroja, may only be reached from here.
== Location ==
Galesmouth refers to the series of crevasses and cliffs of the fractured land just south of Drogaroga's spine. These faults in the earth impede passage, requiring travelers to either make a circuitous route through the Galesmouth or take the long road around it.
== Story ==
* The Echo Awakens: The player must obtain a key item, Seedspall Astrum, from the Yagudo in Meriphataud Mountains, as well as two similar key items from the two analogous Beastman races, the Orcs and Quadav, in Jugner Forest and Pashhow Marshlands, respectively.

=== Drogaroga's Spine ===
Drogaroga's Spine is a formation of cermet running in and above the Meriphataud Mountains at various places. It is fabled to be the spine of the mythical dragon Drogaroga, who is said to have existed at the beginning of Vana'diel. However, a connection between it and the crags or lines of cermet found throughout the land is more likely.
=== Stone Monument ===
