Actually, you mean Paglth'an, which is a grassland region to the east of Thanalan!
Oh, nice--this is super useful. I was wondering about that. Sagolii is in the game, and puny, right? The character I had intended to be my main has a lot of background involving (attempting) fighting the Amalj'aa so I've been trying to gather up more information about them, militarily-speaking.
Thanks, Kale!
Paglth'an is the Amalj'aa homeland, which lies across the Bay of Dha'yuz. However, after the summoning of their god, Ifrit, the Amalj'aa have invaded Thanalan and claimed the southern reaches of Thanalan and the northern reaches of the Sagolii Desert as their own, naming the region "Zahar'ak" which means "Land of Perseverance." They believe this land is blessed by Ifrit and seek to rid it of taint. ie. Ul'dah.
EDIT: fixed. Kale is correct. Paglth'an is east of Thanalan, Sagolii is south. I should not try to lore and coil at the same time. Doesn't work well obviously. Also, edited my post to detail more about Paglth'an and Zahar'ak.
