Final Fantasy XI: The Eternal Gods of Vana'diel
Prologue...
Many aeons ago, there was a sentient jewel. A living stone by which all life was created, banished the darkness, and spawned forth Gods of infinite power. The Goddess on wings of freedom, Altana, and the God bound by chains, Promathia. Their prized creation was the world of Vana'diel, their celestial playground. These are the two major gods of Vana'diel, in a struggle between light and darkness. It was an unseen war between them. That isn't the whole story.
There are other, minor gods that were also created by the sentient jewel. They were made of the eight elements that rule the universe. The god of Vengeful Flames, the goddess of Empty Chills, the goddess of Loving Oceans, the god of Hasty Sparks, the goddess of Truthful Earth, the goddess of Joyful Breezes, the god of Invisible Shadows, and the god of Immortal Light. Each giving creation of celestial beasts, known as Avatars. Ifrit the fire demon, Shiva the ice spirit, Leviathan the water serpent, Ramuh the lightning spirit, Titan the earth giant, Garuda the wind harpy, Diablos the dark demon, and Carbuncle the light animal.
Here the gods played, until eventually they fell into slumber. After the crystal war ended, many lives were lost and traumatized, but peace came for a while. Many years have passed, peace and war have gone on back and forth. Many places have been destroyed by huge disasters from people misusing ancient power. One incident happened on the continent of Mindartia. The Yagudo and Tarutaru, tried to use the crag of Dem to finish the war between them, but it ended in disaster. In a huge explosion seen from as far away as the Empire of Aht Urgan to the Kingdom of San'd Oria. Everything to the north of Sarutabaruta is gone. A huge gulf is seen from the sky. Only a small part of land remains, where the Grand Duchy of Jueno connects to Mindartia. Only a half mile of land is left.
It is now forty years past that incident. Eight unlikely heroes will emerge to save Vana'diel from an even larger threat...
