Final Fantasy XI Beginner's Guide

The Kingdom of San d'Oria
Native Races: Elvaan

The Kingdom of San d'Oria has seen better times. Their Beastman rivals, the Orcish, have established a stronghold in the heart of their lands, and royal squabbles concern the citizens. San d'Oria itself is a medieval fantasy mainstay, with gray stone castles and houses inside high walls, and is home to the chivalrous Elvaan - who hate outsiders. The abundant forests and mountains of the Ronfaure region provide materials for San d'Oria's famous Woodworking, Leatherworking and Smithing guilds.

San d'Oria's story is one of religion and politics. The main cathedral of Vana'diel's dominant religion, which worships the Dawn Goddess Altana, is located in San d'Oria, and the interests of the San d'Orian royalty, the Church and the people often collide.
