Square Enix has released new details regarding the upcoming Final Fantasy XI expansion, Chains of Promathia for PlayStation2 and PC. Four new areas have been announced to appear, they are: the Uleguerand Range, the Tavnazian Safehold, Bibiki Bay and the Phomiuna Aqueducts.

The Uleguerand Range is the highest area above sea level on the Quon continent. An Orc-created pass above the range exists, but the steep climb combined with the snowstorms that blow in from every angle of the convoluted landscape, provide a daunting challenge to intruders.

The Tavnazian Safehold is an extension of the underground complex that served as a haven for the survivors of the war-ravaged Tavnazian Marquisate. As the ruins of the city above are still occupied by the remnants of the beast men armies, the people of the safe hold below are concerned primarily with survival.

Bibiki Bay is an inlet in the southeast of Mindartia looks out on the Gugru Blue. Sheltered by a multitude of tiny islands, its tranquil waters were once used by Tarutaru fisherfolk to farm vast quantities of shellfish and seaweed.

Phomiuna Aqueducts, the City of Water, these expansive aqueducts were constructed by the Tavnazian Marquisate. Before the war, the waters were drawn on by most of the city's main facilities, but now only a small percentage of the canals remains.
