The kobolds are threatened by Limsa Lominsa’s intrusions into their territory so they summon Titan, requiring you to beseech aid from the Company of Heroes that once felled Titan long before. As you continue your quest with the Scions, you learn of the nature of the Primals: that they are summoned by the prayers and sacrifice of crystals by their followers – usually beast tribes – to aid them against, more often than not, the Grand Companies. There is also news that the Garlean Empire has returned under the banner of Gaius Van Baelsar in an attempt to conquer Eorzea. It also arouses the attention of the Ascians who view you as a threat to their unknown plans. Because of this gift, the Scions send you to help track down and ultimately defeat the Primal Ifrit.ĭefeating Ifrit gains you to notoriety and fame across the Grand Companies who court you for membership. It also renders them immune to the brainwashing enslavement that Primals use called ‘Tempering’. An ability that allows the Warrior to see and even in some cases interact with the past and to know the hearts of others. The Scions invite the Warrior in to the organization and explain that they have the gift of the Echo. After performing heroic deeds locally, the Warrior gets noticed by one of the members of an organization called The Scions of the Seventh Dawn – a third party apolitical organization made up mostly of Louisoix’s disciples aimed at stopping the Primals and creating peace. This began the Seventh Umbral Era.įive years after the Battle of Carteneau, the Warrior of Light, destined to be the champion of the Mother Crystal Hydaelyn and received her Blessing of Light, arrives in one of the three city states of Gridania, Ul’dah or Limsa Lominsa. The destruction wrought by Dalamud and Bahamut caused mass upheaval in the land, altering the landscape and weather. Though the Battle took the lives of many, including Louisiox, Bahamut was cast down and the VIIth Legion annihilated thus severely crippling the Garlean Empire. This effort was thwarted by the sage Louisiox and his disciples, who called upon the power of their gods, The Twelve, to help stop Meteor and Bahamut. However, upon its descent it was revealed the Dalamud was no natural moon but a massive prison for the Primal, Bahamut. Spurred on by the mysterious beings known as Ascians, Nael Van Darnus led the VIIth Legion to Carteneau where they waged a bloody battle to cast Meteor and drop the moon, Dalamud, on the continent ending all life and the Primal threat. (Lore Note: The Allagan Empire was a technologically and magically advanced society that ruled Eorzea during the Third Astral Era.) The Allied Forces consisting of the three Grand Companies attempted to repel the invaders only to learn that the true plan that in order to end what the threat of the Primals forever they would need to use the power of the ancient Allagan magic Meteor. In the last days of the Sixth Astral Era, the Garlean Empire launched a full out assault on the continent of Eorzea.
