Description
A field of peaceful meadows that are part of the Tavnazian Archipelago - a tiny island off the west coast of Quon which was once home to the proud nation of Tavnazia. Before the Crystal War, this region was actually a peninsula connected with the mainland. However, a devastating explosion caused by a secret weapon of the beastmen resulted in the disintegration of a large portion of the surrounding landscape.
The explosion also sent the nation's capitol, a city built on the profits of its thriving trade business, into ruin. The remnants of the beastmen army remain in control of the archipelago, and until now, it was thought that none of the former inhabitants had survived.
Points of Interest
- The ruins of Tavnazia can be viewed from the ledge at Blueblade Fell at J-6.
- Zone into Tavnazian Safehold at E-8.
- Powerful monsters lurk in the clearing at J-7, K-7 and L-7.
- Fomar mobs appear throughout the zone during evening hours.
- The swirling vortex at K-8 leads to Valkurm Dunes.
Map
The Map of Tavnazia, which includes Lufaise Meadows, is a reward from the quest Unforgiven.

I was wondering how to get access to Lufaise Meadows? I heard that you have to go to the 3 Promyvians (Holla, Dem, and Mea), but do you have to fight anything or just go to one, erase your memory and go to another? This has confused me for a while now, and I hope to get this cleared up, cause I'm lvling BLU and I want to fight the clusters in the meadows for refueling.
You have to complete all three promies, meaning doing the bcnm for each at the top.

Thank you for helping me figure this out. It's much appreciated. Well, that's just one more thing for me to do...

Ok, i was in Tavnazia an hour early for my LS's Gration event, so i decided to camp Megalobugard, after about 30 mins of camping i was running to the north and in the sky i saw a huge bird in the sky, not targetable, like it was made into the sky, it was grayish purple and looked as if it was flying towards 'Blublade Fell' any idea wth this is? It didn't look like Bahamut and my first thought was that it was a cameo of Phoenis or something. Anyone else seen this?
I know that the dragons appear in the sky at sunset and sunrise. You can see them at H-8...but you can see them very good at J-6 above old Tavnazia. There are two of them, and they circle the unaccessable hilltop in the distance at Blueblade Fell. Thats prolly what you saw.
I really wish SE would come back and look into opening more up at Lufaise Meadows, and the surrounding areas. So much unused potential there...and such a beautiful spot! Like old Tavnazia (and the sharks along the shores of Bibiki Bay's islands) the dragons are not accessable for interaction.
I took a picture of me and my gf along the clif at Blueblade Fell at sunset just before the Fomor came out. We used sneak, waited for the dragons and I took a few screenshots. Real beautiful pictures, if I do say so myself. Gonna upload them onto my memory stick and make myself a new wallpaper for my PSP.

That could be what i saw, it was heading in that direction, i had no idea that there were dragons in the sky around there tho.
i have a very stupid question since i havnt even done any promys yet.
is lufaise meadows or w/e the same place as sea?
and i have heard that all you have to do is beat promy dem, holla, and mea. but then i have also heard that you need to beat promy chapter 8 to get access to sea. any info would be appreciated thanks

I know that this is late coming, but so is my access to Tavnazia. Almost 3 years and I finally get Promy 1-3 finished 2 days ago.
Finishing Promy 1-3 (Promy Mea, Holla and Dem) gives you access to Misereaux Coast, Lufaise Meadows, and Tavnazian Safehold.
Sea is much later in the Promethia storyline. They are two seperate (yet related) areas.
Hope this helps.

San d'Oria finally gained control of the Tavnazian Archipelago, so I got all set to do the supply run: I get to the gate guard, and... nothing. He wouldn't let me flag this supply run, even though I have access to the area. I'm on PM 3-5, would I possibly have to be higher than that?
have to be past COP 4-1 to do supply quest for here
Story connections.
The passageway at J-8 on the map leads you north east to an area with deadly mobs (good experience area for 70+ people). Abraxas birds like to prey on unwary people. Beyond this area... a little to further east and north you will find Blueblade Fell.
This is, of course, the city from the CGI movie that introduces the game to all new players! Your standing on the cliff and seeing the city completes the game cycle in that you "become" one of the many adventurers who are on the cliff in the opening movie.
Tavnazia was the first target of the combined Beastmen army and this is also shown in the opening cinematic. As for poor young Aldo, I like to think that he got adopted somehow (pirates along the coast most likely), lived in Norg for awhile then worked his way to be leader of the Tenshodo trade organization. The fact that they look the same and play such a heavy role in the story lead me to believe they are the same Aldo!

I had a sudden craving to get to this area, and I did. I worked my *** of for 2 days, surviving crappy promy-parties and various idiots, until I managed to finish them all, and it was definitely worth it. This place is awesome. I didn't get far because I was on my BLM28 and got roffled after about 10 minutes of exploring, but what I saw I liked.
(Just for reference my promy setups were
Holla: SMN BLM MNK RNG PLD WHM
Mea: SMN RNG BLM BLM WHM PLD
Dem: RNG RNG PLD BLM SMN WHM
we beat them all easily.)

A friend of mine found a spot with a ??? in this zone, and when he examined it it said to bring the ancient shield and the pact will be yours. He thinks it might be a quest for a new avatar, though I'm told because of the story line of Windurst missions and the rise of Zilart there can't be new avatars. Does anyone have any info on this spot?

Then I thought you know that kinda sounds like something Bahamut or Odin would say. LOL
Well...
This does sound intruiging!
I doubt SE would just cut off the remainder of our beloved Final Fantasy summons at only what we have now... how would Summoner be any fun that way? lol Windurst also has a history of lying about things and covering things up...
Besides if you can find a picture of the FFXI Limited Edition Soundtrack, you'll notice a TON of avatars surrounding a giant (I'm guessing) Goddess Altana, which include a VERY obvious Odin, Ixion/Pegasus and one that could possibly be a Diablos (amongst others, including the ones already in the game).
I'd put my guesses on Odin for this "Ancient Shield" bit, seeing as I doubt we'll ever get Bahamut all to ourselves =P And the fact that the fields seem like a perfect place for an Odin figure, what with all the hellish Fomors lurking around from the dead.
I'm also guessing GETTING this shield will invlove a hell of a lot of work >.< Probably killing all the avatars AGAIN >.< Gawd..
Or of course this could just end up having nothing to do with avatars at all... lol

Yeah, it has nothing do with Odin. It's for upgrading the relic shield, which drops in Dynamis-Jeuno. I think you trade the shield to the ??? or something and an HNM spawns that you have to kill to get the next stage of the shield.
Supposed to be new avatars in the Xbox release. Of course, we'll get the update of whatever they get and the rest in an expansion pack no less.
sorry accidental double post >.<

I was exploring this area and well first I found a area with a ??? mark in the forest of Walking trees and fomor's (both EP with low evasion) at (G-6)
and I also found a ??? point in a blocked off cave past the giant birds (which con T-VT to a lvl 69RDM) at (K-6)
and when I clicked on it. it said "Bring me the Ancient Shield and The Pact will be acknowledged."
this got me thinking that there was either a new summon or some new powers for the existing
summons.
the I thought you know that kinda sounds like something Bahamut or Odin would say. LOL
Does anybody know what this is for and/or how to get the Ancient Shield.
Allah dosen't have anything on this yet, so just wondering.

In order to get in the meadows, you need to complete the chapter one of Chains of Promathia. You will need to finish the three Promyvions quests. Its not an easy task.

How do you get there, is there a tunnel linking (I tried finding for an hr until I finally gave up)
J-8, its a tunnel with some Wingrats inside. Further you will find some Abraxas and rams, as fas as I know they are lvl 85.Take care if you go there at night, or you will find some evil shadows walking together, known as the Fomors.

Where is the map of this zone?
The map is obtained by completing a quest. The NPC quest starter is Elysia inside Tavnazia Safehold. She will give you the quest the first time you talk to her, its a long conversation. Here is a link for this NPC:

While exploring the area I saw three different elements; Dark, Wind and Lightning. I was able to locate the spawn of the Air Elemental @ (K-9), at the cliffs. As a level 38, it checked IT with high defense.

There is a Sheep NM in here called Padfoot:
Appearance - Look like any bloody oirdinairy sheep.
level - No idea, I was 61rdm/10rng and it hardly hit me. I guess around 40-45.
Attacks - Usual sheep attacks. Sheep Charge and Sheep Song I noticed
Spawn - In the three main area's with Bugard, Orc Gigas and Sheep. Wide scan is a must, hard to find/claim otherwise
Time - not sure on this. I heard it was a 3-24 spawn rate.
Special - There is a slight chance more then one spawn in the same frame. I have seen two of them on WideScan while logging/NM hunting
Second one was claimed as i came near. Killed first.
Drops - Hehe the good stuff for last, Sheep Skin, Lanolin Cube, Earth Crystal, Astral Earring (level 45, converts 25 hp to mp, all jobs). I got one on the second sheep last nite, sells for about 3 million on bismarck

Thanks for the info....im going to definitely give this guy a try....i need the earing for my rdm.....damn elvaan mp lol. Rate up.
Any luck on this?
I got some more info. Spawn seem to be 24 hours give or take a few minutes. There are always 3 Padfoot spawning in any possible area containing sheep. Use widescan. Also i suggest going in there with a high level job as most mobs agro to one thing or another until 60. Even then watch out, i got agro from a tough elemental yesterday and barely survived as i was at low MP as 61rdm/10rng. [Sleep] II [Yes, please]
Also i got a second earring of a padfoot again, sold it for 3.3 million. I would use it if i had a free slot, but i prefer my cunning earring, moldavite earring and a healthy set of orange kuchen for MP.

i tried last night for about an hour....no luck yet. I spent most of my time running from H-10 to G-7 spamming widescan....found where megabugard (lol spelling is probably off) spawns. I should have more time on the weekend to give it a try...lol i really need this earing for my rdm.... keeping my fingers crossed....thanks again for the info, you have been extremely helpful.
Hmm watch out with the Megalobugard... don't tried to solo it, it's HP regen is huge. I watched a 65 rdm solo it, took him almost an hour.
lol...i watched a 72+ rdm soloing mega....took him around 10-15mins. I might go back with a couple of my friends (lvl60+) and give it a try....i heard its only around lvl 52-56.
Im sitting at work right now itching to go home a play....i really want to find that sheep. Could you tell me the locatios that you saw him?

Whoops, late reply but anyways:
Near the Tower on F-7
Near the bridge on G-10
Near the Megalobugard pop around tower G-7/G-8/H-7/H-8
At the Lagoon I-7/I-8
Grass area H-9/H-10
I really suggest widescan (if u have bst levelled use that to claim with charm)
Once every 24 hours hree or four Padfoot will spawn, and after chatting with other campers the droprate is reasonable good BUT
only one of the spawn will drop!
1 Spawn is real, the rest is fake and will drop normal sheep stuff.
I am now 3/3 on this one but a friend of mine is 1/7 (we got last one together)

3-24 hrs Earth time or Vana'diel time?
For 3.3 million you would think that it's 24 hours Vandiel time....? (no of course its real time ><)
Thanks again.....i didnt get to try it on the weekend, but i will definitly find time this week.
Do you know any other nms that spawn here? i heard there are ones called nakki, asrai and megalobugard (not sure of the spelling). Do you know anything about them?

if you look on the map, its the little cave that you see on E-8
i might be going here tonight cause im doing promyvion missions with LS, can anyone tell me where i go to get to the safehold?

i was aimlessly looking around this area and i went to look near blueblade fell. i went a lvl 62PLD/NIN everything in the zone was too weak or EP. i walked down this tunnle and found a type of greater bird. -not a NM!!- what was weird was it was IT++ and slighty bigger then any normal greaterbird... i didant go farther then that. it kinda spooked me a bit.
( make not im a PLD lol evn somtimes checks ++ )
( make not im a PLD lol evn somtimes checks ++ )
I was owned by that greaterbird at the end of the tunnel. I was coming thru not expecting anything higher than DC at 64 BST and ran right into him. I sent in a courrier carrie and he killed it very fast while i was trying to temp log. He then came at me with a 500+ critical and two 250+ attacks and i was dead ; ;
Beyond those birds (of course i went back ^^) were Tavnasian Rams and some Fomor parties all IT++.

This has got to be one of prettiest zones, scenery and music wise, in the game.
100% Agree. I just finished my last Promyvion and was thrown out of the sky into this zone... literally.
It is very beautiful.
