History

The Galtean Alliance
Though apparently withdrawn from history, the Occurian gods of Ivalice continued to influence its course. Their most recent action was the gifting of nethicite to King Raithwall, a Valendia-born man who would, with this Occurian aid, unite all of Ivalice, bringing it from a time of turmoil into a Golden Age. Around four centuries later, this Alliance finally dissolved, splintering into its component countries. Dalmasca, founded shortly after Raithwall’s campaign, survived the Alliance, and its ruling House Dalmasca remained a branch of Raithwall’s bloodline. The ancient city of Rabanastre on the Galtean Peninsula became Dalmasca’s capital, and House Nabradia meanwhile settled in Valendia, the king's home continent. Each cared for one of the three shards of nethicite used by Raithwall, which served as proof of their lineage. Raithwall was interred far to the west of Dalmasca, in an elaborate tomb built during his life, which remained in later ages as testament to the advanced magic and technology of the time. The last of the nethicite shards, the Dawn Shard, was entombed with him. The Esper Belias, bound to King Raithwall in life, guarded the tomb even after his master's death.


Present Day

As of the year 704 Old Valendian, as measured from the founding of the Galtean Alliance, the recent history of Ivalice has been one of conquest. In that year, the ever-expanding Archadian Empire devoured its neighbor, the kingdom of Nabradia, obliterating its royal seat at the Verdpale Palace with the power of Raithwall's nethicite legacy, stolen from the palace. Archadia's efforts soon turned Dalmasca’s way, and it was quickly conquered, its king murdered in an Archadian plot to deny Dalmasca the luxury of a peace treaty. Dalmasca subsequently surrendered without terms.

Driven from her kingdom and pronounced dead, Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca, now queen in exile of Dalmasca, joined a resistance movement dedicated to restoring Dalmascan sovereignty. In 706OV, her path merged with others who held grievances towards the Archadian Empire, and together they discovered the full extent of Archadia's want for conquest, eventually managing to avoid the threat of war with Rozarria, an empire in Ordalia. The events of Ashe's journey saw the Occurian control over history broken and Venat, the rogue Occurian responsible for granting Archadia so much power, satisfied that his goals had been fulfilled. The Archadian Empire was left in the hands of Larsa Solidor, a peaceable young man who saw the hope of Ivalice in co-operation. A new level of freedom was granted to Ivalice, only to have it threatened once more.

When the fate of Ivalice was put into Ashe's hands by the Occuria, she defied the gods and chose to put the tides of history into mans' hands. The gods, enraged by this act of indipendence, retaliated. Now, Ivalice must endure the wrath of the gods, the Occuria, with Gerun as their leader. Imortal creatures with magick beyond Hume imagination, against all of Ivalice weakened by the war which had only just past. All of Ivalice must unite, Rozzaria, Archadia, Dalmasca, Bhujerba, and the remnents of Nabradia, to fight indestructable beings. Unable to destroy them, they must come up with a plan to lock them away for eternity.
