Ohl Tahn

Ohl Tahn, the ominous domain of Nidhogg, is not so easily overlooked; this northern enclave of the dread wyrm's brood crackles with aetheric energies that have been amplified by the dragons' rancor.

— In-game description

Ohl Tahn is an area in The Churning Mists.

Landmarks

The Rookery

As the moogles tell it, the place known as the Rookery was once a bustling skyport where wayfarers came and went on the backs of trained wyverns. These days, the buildings remain, but the only dragons in sight are the vicious minions of Nidhogg.

Gron Rhei

In the language of the dragons, Gron Rhei means "trees praying," and it possibly alludes to the beautiful forest that once covered the isle. Nidhogg's brood relegated this scorched land to their lesser cousins, who maintain dominance by killing all who approach, much to the moogles' dismay.

Tharl Oom Khash

Tharl Oom Khash means "crystal from regret" in the dragon tongue, and is likely a reference to the deep purple clusters in which the ruins of the structure are buried. According to Dravanian elders, this was where the great wyrm Ratatoskr was lured into a trap by men and met her end.

Sothton Walls

The remnants of a bulwark south of Tharl Oom Khash, the Sothton Walls were once a shared line of defense for men and dragons against ferocious beasts that would migrate to the Churning Mists with the changing seasons. While the knights regarded this as a solemn duty, the dragons considered it more akin to a recreational sport.

Weston Waters

Named for one of the smaller springs in the Churning Mists, Weston Waters was once a place of leisure for the people who lived near there long ago.

Easton Eyes

The eastern watchtower also served as quarters for knights in the era of peace, from where they would set forth upon the backs of wyverns to patrol and ensure security of the region.

The Aery

Vicious aetheric storms rage in Nidhogg's lair, keeping out all those who would dare disturb the great wyrm in his slumber - be it one of years or centuries.
