I’d want to be a Kingsglaive. Ever since I was a kid I’ve really wanted to be strong, so I’d want to be out there warping around and fighting for my life on a real battlefield. I’d want to be able to use magic, too. It seems like you could have so many crazy experiences, just imagining it gets me excited.

Though the main story begins in the year 756 of the modern era (M.E.), the world’s history has been recorded for over 2,000 years, and its contents are essential for a deep comprehension of the story.

Age of Legends Outbreak of War Between the Ancient Civilization of Solheim and the Gods

Since ancient times, Eos was ruled by the Hexatheon. Though in the eyes of the gods men were insignificant creatures, Ifrit the Infernian saw potential in humanity and granted them knowledge. Human civilization advances remarkably and gives rise to a kingdom called Solheim, but in time Solheim grows proud and begins an attempt to repudiate the gods themselves. Ifrit in his rage would have burned man and planet both to ash, however, to protect the people and planet, the other gods oppose him. A great war broke out between gods. In the end, Solheim lies in ruins, and the gods, having overextended their powers, fall into slumber. To the surviving humans, they grant the power to protect the planet.

About 2,000 Years Ago

Dramatic Population Decrease Due to Parasitic Illness

An illness caused by plasmodium parasites spreads, and the world’s population decreases dramatically. A personage from the clan that had been given power by the gods began to treat the plague with a unique ability, but as a result the illness came to abide in his own body. Though this person was originally meant to be chosen as King by the Crystal given by the gods, because of the sickness residing in him, he was rejected by the Crystal and the throne went to his younger brother. 

To protect the Crystal and the Ring of the Lucii that proves kingship, the younger brother chosen as King founds the Kingdom of Lucis. To prepare for the “Calamity to Come” that the gods had told him of, and to pass on all of his power to the True King the Crystal will choose. Meanwhile, the elder brother who had been driven from the throne had become immortal from the illness’s effects, and lived on despite execution. He who gave everything to treat the plague resents his rejection by the gods and Crystal, and resolves to have his revenge at the time of the “Calamity to Come.”
