Macalania Lake is a geographical area of Spira in Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2. It is a frozen lake with a Rin's Travel Agency. A magnificent ice palace, Macalania Temple, sits atop the frozen waters. The Macalania Woods are located to the south of the lake.
Story[]
Final Fantasy X[]
Tidus: They say Seymour went to Macarena Temple.Wakka: Macalania Temple.Tidus: Aye!Tidus telling the party of where Seymour went.
Yuna and her guardians arrive to the snowy reaches of the lake and meet with Seymour Guado's servant, Tromell. They are ambushed by a group of Al Bhed who want to kidnap Yuna to stop her summoner's pilgrimage. The group's leader is Rikku's brother. Yuna and her guardians destroy the Al Bhed's machina cannon and the Al Bhed retreat.
Tromell takes Yuna away to see Seymour at the temple. Wakka wonders why Rikku can speak Al Bhed, and she reveals her true heritage as Al Bhed. Wakka is upset that one of Yuna's guardians is a "heretic" and that no one told him about it, even accusing Auron for being an Al Bhed when he checks on the machina sled.
Wakka asks Lulu about it and she says that this is an opportunity to learn more about the Al Bhed. Wakka, annoyed that no one sides with him, walks while the others ride on the sleds to the temple. If Tidus rides with Rikku, she reveals she is Yuna's cousin and articulates in a roundabout way that Yuna will die if she continues her pilgrimage, but Tidus does not realize this. If Lulu travels with Tidus, he asks her if a human can ever become Sin, and she finally believes he is not from Spira.
After the party runs away from the temple after being branded traitors due to killing a maester, they are confronted by a Wendigo and two Guado guards. After the battle, the Wendigo shatters the ice, sending the party plummeting onto a dormant Sin that was hiding under the ice that whisks them away.
Final Fantasy X-2[]
Following their banishment from Guadosalam, the diminished effect of the Guado's protection and the disappearance of the fayth melted the lake and the temple sank to the bottom of Lake Macalania. The road ends at the travel agency, and the temple is not accessible. Its aeon, Shiva, is fought in the Farplane rather than the temple as a result.
O'aka XXIII bought the travel agency from Rin with money he borrowed from the Al Bhed. After the temple sank he was left with no customers and unable to pay his debt. Al Bhed come looking for him at the travel agency and O'aka escapes to the woods of Macalania. The Gullwings can chase him down and ask him to join them on the Celsius, or they can hand him over to the Al Bhed.
If the Gullwings hand him over to the Al Bhed, O'aka is sent digging in Bikanel in an effort to pay off his debt. If the Gullwings take him aboard Celsius, O'aka sets up a shop and uses the money he makes to pay to the Al Bhed. In Chapter 3, the travel agency is being infested with fiends, but the Gullwings defeat them. A dying Al Bhed comments on a fiend machina in the lake and gives the girls a dressphere. If the party pays off O'aka's debt, he returns to the travel agency, devastated at the damage and the Al Bhed dying before he could pay his debt. As the Gullwings leave, O'aka promises that he will protect the shop for the Al Bhed, even willing to sell items to fiends. His brother, Wantz, eventually joins him and becomes his assistant.
