Arrzaneth Ossuary

One of many temples under the care of the Order of Nald'thal, Arrzaneth Ossuary is devoted to the worship of Thal, the divine arbiter of the afterlife. Two kinds of people visit its halls: the destitute praying for fortune in the realm of the dead, and the moneyed seeking extravagant funerary rites.

— In-game description

Landmarks

Erralig's Burial Chamber

Built within the remains of ancient ruins dating far before Ul'dah's foundation, Erralig's Burial Chamber is a crypt open to all Ul'dahns-provided they make the donations to the temple. The prestigious lowest levels of the Chamber are reserved for those who have given very generously. Small contributions merit entombment in the top levels, while a pittance reportedly lands corpses in the wilds where the monsters roam.

Additional Information

Serves as the Thaumaturges' Guild lead by Cocobuki and four of his brothers: Cocobygo, Cocobezi, Cocoboha, and Cocobani.

Thaumaturges' Guild Lore

That the study of magic should bloom in Ul'dah is no surprise, given that the city-state's forebears were Mhachi magi. The priests of the Order of Nald'thal have cultivated and passed on much knowledge of the arcane, particularly those who work at Arrzaneth Ossuary. There, they have perfected techniques related to funerary rites-freezing blizzards to halt corruption, raging fires to cleanse the corpse, and bolts of lightning to expel the sins of mortal life. As they have discovered that these magicks have a great effect on the living, the Ossuary has come to serve as the Thaumaturges' Guild, where magi are trained and new arcane arts born. [1]
