[[Nald'thal, overseer of the underworld and god of commerce, is the guardian deity of Ul'dah. He commands the element of fire and is associated with the tenth moon of the Eorzean calendar. Nald'thal is the single manifestation of the deific twins of Nald]] and Thal. He is most often depicted as a discerning merchant holding a balance. His symbol is the cowry, an ancient shell currency.

Using the sun of Azeyma, Nald'thal fired golden bricks and built the city of the Heaven of Fire, where the just and fair, and the honest and philanthropic came to rest. Into the Pit he cast the rubble of the city and set it alight, creating the Hell of Fire and burning the judgmental, the dishonest and those who gave and received douceurs to cinders.

Unlike the other members of The Twelve, Nald'thal has two marks, both contained in the statues in Ul'dah; the statue of Thal at the Arrazaneth Ossuary in the Steps of Nald, as well as the statue in Milvaneth Sacrarium in the Steps of Thal. There are also shrines dedicated to both Nald and Thal in Eastern Thanalan and Southern Thanalan respectively.
