The Thunder Plains, also known as the Gandof Thunder Plains, is a long open barren landscape, which connects Guadosalam to Macalania Woods. It is constantly bombarded by lightning and thunder. Long ago, the plains were a travellers nightmare, until an Al Bhed named Bilghen set up several towers to serve as Lightning Rods, after a suggestion by summoner Gandof. He was in the process of setting up the final tower when he was struck by lightning and killed.
