However, after the summoning of their god, Ifrit, the Amalj'aa have invaded the Sagolii desert and claimed the southern reaches of Thanalan 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.
So, I did mean what I said. Yes, you are correct in that the Amalj'aa are from Paglth'an, which they still control, but they now also control a large portion of the Sagolii desert. Sorry if my original statement was confusing. ^^;
Oh, that makes sense. Wait--is Sagolii the (contested) border between Thanalan and Paglth'an, then? Or basically like a militarized zone like Kashmir?
Merp, so another typo on my part. When I wrote up there "across the Sagolii desert" I should've said across the Bay of Dha'yuz. So the Sagolii desert stretches across the entire southern portion of the Ul'dahn peninsula from Ul'dah to Cape Deadwind. The Amalj'aa homelands are due East from Southern Thanalan across the Bay of Dha'yuz in the region of Paglth'an, which is North East of Thanalan and South of the Black Shroud. So the Amalj'aa have taken control of the Eastern and Southern edges of Thanalan to better colonize Zahar'ak.
Sorry for the confusion! I completely missed that I had said east in my original post instead of south. >< I should really not try to answer lore questions while in Coil. I get distracted and say things in a hurry.
/gives up. /goes to bed. ><
