Final Fantasy
Separate Worlds
Welcome to Vora, a world of two nations, two peoples, and two ways of life, that of the Faera the magic wielders, and the Moravians, a repressed but advanced people whose beliefs lie in the falsely worshiped god Vero.
These two peoples rarely encounter one another and their knowledge of each other is limited. But one belief reigns massively, that each is the others enemy, their one obstacle preventing the unity of the world.
Unknown to either is the presence of a force of incomprehensible evil.
If the continents fail to unite Vero the Hell God whom the Moravians inadvertently worship will hold the world in his vile grasp.
The people must come forth.

DISCLAIMER
To create this potentially masterful fable, I did a small amount of research into our worlds history, I've borrowed from Greek Mythology, characters such as Amphrite and the Kharites, who I blended into the character Kharite, or in English Charity. I've also used numerous other Greek references as well as some Celtic and Norse mythology. Because I lack to knowledge to create an all-new enterprise, I've borrowed several ideas from Final Fantasies VIII an X, as well as some others. All of those, such as Shiva who is in actually a goddess of the Hindu religion, I believe, belong to Squaresoft. I have however taken the liberty to change a few things, as I'm sure you will or already noticed. All other characters are mine, if any of them seem familiar, coincidence is the only possible explanation…although I must admit that many of the Final Fantasy stories I have read may definitely have influenced me. All y'all are on my favorites lists, so you should know whom you are.
Ra Kai is, unless it appeared from the recesses of my memory, my made up name for the ancient Egyptian martial arts. Both the Valdris and the Fang of Baelin are entirely real weapons created by Kit Rae. Both can actually be viewed and purchased at www.imperialweapons.com, this site includes many other magnificent weapons. Each has its own history, which may be partially included in the story. I however am not aware as to who credit for them is due. It's certainly not mine. There are so many things that lead up to this that I'm sure I've forgotten at least a couple. So don't sue me please! Final Fantasy VIII will play a small, but significant part in this tale as well.
If you wish for any extra information or a list of pronunciation, just give me an email…
