Jahara

Jahara is a location in the land of Ivalice in Final Fantasy XII. It is the home to the remote tribe of the garif. It is not a technologically advanced city like Rabanastre or Bhujerba, but a land whose people live close to nature and subsist by hunting.

== Story ==
Since the garif shun technology, the village has not changed much over the years. Seven centuries ago, the Occuria, knowing the garif worshiped magicite, gave them some nethicite. However, even the wisest garif knew not how to use the stones, and, as such, the Occuria took the nethicite and gave it to someone more knowledgeable, King Raithwall, the Dynast King. This is one of the many stories passed down in Jahara.
During Final Fantasy XII Princess Ashe wants to fight the Empire with a piece of deifacted nethicite, the Dawn Shard. Even though she has witnessed the stone's amazing strength, by having seen it destroy Dreadnought Leviathan and the entire Archadian 8th Fleet, she has no idea how to harness the stone's power. Fran tells her that the garif down at Jahara might know, as magicite lore is part of their culture.
The party arrives at Jahara and are granted entrance as a garif warrior has seen them crossing the Ozmone Plain on foot. They talk to the Great-chief Uball-Ka, but to Ashe's disappointment the Great-chief tells her the garif don't know how to use the stones, and what worse, that the Dawn Shard has lost its power as the Mist trapped inside the stone was drained when it unleashed its power on the Leviathan, rendering it useless as a weapon.
The party is met by Larsa Solidor of the ruling family of Archades who has come looking for Ashe, as he has a plan to prevent the war looming above the nations. Ashe is reluctant to follow with Larsa's plan, and during the night she takes a walk on the village proper. She is met by a ghostly vision of her late husband, Lord Rasler. Vaan sees Ashe wandering about the village and tells her that he, too, can see the vision.
Vaan and Ashe have a chat on the village bridge. Vaan tells Ashe he is through running away from his problems, and from now on will try and actually do something and not just stand aside.
The next morning Ashe promises to accompany Larsa to Mt Bur-Omisace to meet the Gran Kiltias.
== Quests ==
=== Jaya Stick ===
Upon arriving at Jahara, the player must talk to garif until they receive a Jaya Stick from high-chief Zayalu in Lull of the Land area. Talking to Supinelu in the west exit and choosing the first option twice allows the party to see the elder. The Jaya Stick is taken from the inventory and given to Supinelu. However, the player can sell the Jaya Stick for 500 gil and still be let through. If the player gives Jaya Stick to Supinelu they will eventually get Bowgun (original)/Recurve Crossbow (Zodiac versions) and Onion Bolts. If they sold it, they will obtain Killer Bow and Onion Arrows instead.
