Well, I owe Nintendogeek01 one, for this interlude thing, and for the race description thingy.
Well, Thank you, Square Enix, for an awesome game, and Thank you, Nintendogeek, for writing what is easily one of the most awesome stories ever!
Disclaimer: All I own is my characters and my story. Square Enix owns the game period, and most everything else. Nintendogeek01 owns the interlude…thingy, and the race description thingy.
This is an interlude chapter, so, you don't have to review it if you don't feel like it. It's merely here for the purpose of helping you keep up with the main characters, and such.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ivalice
In a world very different from ours, a world where harsh deserts, lush forests, dank caves, and live cities and towns coexist, there are the five races. The races form the common people and the government of Ivalice. And most notably, they form the clans. The clans battled for influence, popularity, money, and more often than not for the adventure. The five races contributed the below to Ivalice.
The Humans, the most dominant race in this land of Ivalice, populate every city in this country. Though the majority of the human population is found in Cyril, many form the royal guard and the judicial system in Ivalice. In the clans the variety of magical and physical skills of the humans contribute greatly.
The Bangaa, the large lizard-like race. Although most who refer to bangaas as lizards usually don't live to see the light of day. They are generally temperamental and easily provoked in to battle, but they are also more intelligent with very well adapted senses of smell and hearing. The bangaa are staples in the royal guard for their physical prowess and this has earned their place in clans as well.
The Moogles, the small white ones. Though small and sometimes underestimated, they are most dexterous and skilled mechanists. A few moogles history have contributed to the invention of the revolutionary airship. They are toolsmen, shopkeepers, magicians and physical fighters known for their surprisingly high stamina and resistance.
The Nu Mou, the dog-like wise ones. Peaceful, and enlightened. The Nu Mou are among the most intelligent of all the races. Their magical powers have led to a general understanding of the world and its history. They are usually consulted as advisors within the government and their magical abilities make them an excellent asset to any clan.
The Viera, agile and rabbit-like. They are a beautiful and entirely female race. Their children are born with humans, any female born in to such a couple is a viera and any male born is human. Vieras posses superior agility to other races and are also quite adept at magic, arguably second only to the Nu Mou in magic. They are often used as scouts and support in the royal guard and they help clans in a wide variety of manners.
The whole of Ivalice has experienced peace for many generations, but the curtain has been drawn on the age of prosperity. Ivalice, as all know it, will fall.
What has been happening to the missing judges, and why is it that nobody has taken action? That, and more, could only be revealed by time, and the right actions.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
