An enormous tree on the Outer Continent, much too frequently and incorrectly thought of by players as the "Lifa Tree" or "Ilfa Tree," but the name is "iifa tree." It is referred to as a "Sanctuary" by the dwarves of Conde Petie, and the newly "married" journey there to inscribe their names. Planted by Garland many years ago, the Iifa Tree is a filtering system for the souls of Gaia. The souls are directed towards the tree, whereupon they are intercepted by the Soul Cage. Mist is a by-product of the filtering process and is pumped through the roots of the tree to the Mist Continent until Soul Cage was destoyed. But the Iifa Tree's true nature was to block Gaia's souls and replaced them with Terra's.

The major civilization of Terra, featuring a society of humanoids similar to Zidane and Kuja. Bran Bal is actually the birthplace of Zidane and Kuja. It also featured laboratories that were used in Garland's enhancement of the society.

Hidden deep in a large forest near Conde Petie, the village is home to several self-aware black mages, living their lives in hiding. They live so deep in the forest that the owls do not live there. It is protected by a magical mirage wall. The mages of the village are convinced they have a limit on their life.
