In one of the early/mid-level San d'Oria mission cutscenes, there is a mention of ruins similar to Fei'Yin near Cape Teriggan... the NPC specifically mentions this... up until now, there is really nothing out there that could be confused with a crag... I've always wondered if there's something that was never added between Teriggan and Lufaise Meadows... it's kind of no-man's land...
It's possible that SE intended to have a crag way out there, then changed their minds and never fixed the text... but that mission text is still there as of a year or so ago...
I think it was assumed that it was a mistake and that they actually meant the Chamber of Oracles under Altepa, not Teriggan.

I figured that they either completely forgot about that text, or that they maybe meant the Temple of Uggalepih (just changed what zone it was supposed to be in) and forgot to make it ugly cermet.
What was Uggalepih in the Ancient World? And I thought perhaps it was the Chamber of Oracles- after all, remember the cutscene where you meet Yve'noile? There seems to be more there than we can access. That and the BCNM reminds me of Qu'Bia Arena.
The other suggestions mentioned already seem far more likely, but I just wanted to throw out: how about the Cermet Headstone? Maybe? ... yeah, it's a longshot. I mean, it is of similar construction, but it's just a monument. I dunno if I'd call that "ruins".
Agreed on that last bit. I've been aggravated that while I can find bits and pieces to support my position, it doesn't seem like there's a knockout blow for either side.
Yeah, it was. The remaining Kuluu retreated there after the meltdown where they became Tonberries. (Then they retconed in Pso'Xja the next expansion.)
That is a good point about the cermet headstone. (Although there is one in La Theine that they should know about.) But it is possible that there are ruins there somewhere that we cannot access, since many of the other headstones are near ruins from the Zilart or Kuluu.
I thought Pso'Xja was supposed to be a quarantine zone(or maybe a concentration camp) for Kuluu once they lost the "Whisper or the Soul" (I think that's what it was called). A place the Zilart stuck them.
As for the ruins near terrigan, I don't remember the comment you guys are talking about. Was it definitely referring to something that was still there? If not, could it have been destroyed along with much of Tavnazia?
Off topic but I thought it was interesting. Erpalacion B Chanoix the 'Last Dragoon' of San d'Oria may be related to Professor Clavauert B Chanoix is involved in several quests in WoTG areas as well as TOAU including an assault. One of the quests nets you a Chanoix Gorget which adds +50 WyvernHP. This leads me to believe the professor is a decendent of Erpalacion.

Maybe Erpalacion fell in love with the elvaan form of whats her face? Aurehat?
He died a full 50 years before the start of the crystal war.
that being a mistake in name and identity on my part so lets replace the word : Erpalacion with Cyranuce
AF+1 are simply your AF armor thats been refurbished to its original splendor(assuming AF you acquire in missions were all worn previously by another NPC from the past and thus became damaged over years). Knowing this how does BLU/COR/DNC/PUP/SCH AF+1 work? As far as I know those AF are crafted for you by the npcs so they're brand new and arent worn out.
Also I wonder why Sagheera needs AF2-1 to make AF2+1. Does she use spare parts from the -1 to combine with the NQ to make +1 relic or something?
I have to it up somewhere, but I beleve it was said that:

With all of this information that we are discussing, i think we should put together a large historical encyclopedia.

Actually during a cutscene at the end of Ducal Hospitality, Taillegease tells you a tale of how Maat found a couple of strange boys washed up on shore some fifty years ago... who happened to be Kam'lanaut and Eald'narche. That's some twenty years before the fateful expedition to the Northlands...
It has been unofficially retconned to them awakening 30 years prior to "present day", but taking a few years before appearing near Jeuno, or at least it was clarified in two other places:
The Vana'diel Tribune II Issue No. 16. states:
"In the year 855, Kam'lanaut and his brother were picked up by a fishing boat and taken to Jeuno." Recall that the multinational expedition took place in C.E. 852. The War starts in 862. Current day is ~882.
To certify this, during Rise of the Zilart, the following exchange
has both Kam'lanaut and Aldo claiming the thirty-year mark.Spoiler: show
I suppose the error in the quest dialogue can be filed with the cases where Ulrich is called Volker's grandfather rather than his uncle during Bastok cutscenes. There are some problems with the game's script that were never fixed.
Judging by the architecture, building materials (Stone instead of Ceramite), and lack of technology, Uggalepih probably post dates the zilart collapse. Given their penchant for avatar worship (or what passes for reverence in Vana'diel), it was probably built as a refuge from any post-collapse remnants of the Zilart empire, given its distance from any Zilart structures and relative closeness to Ifrit's and Leviathan's Protocrystals.
