Contents
A
| Adventurer |
|---|
| A term used by those in Eorzea for the young men and women who seek fortune and fame by acting like explorers, fighters, and crafters. An Adventurer is almost like a mercenary, but not quite. Though the line between the two is very faded. |
| Aether |
|---|
| The magical energy and life force of Hydaelyn. It flows through all living things, from the trees, to the animals, and even people. It is believed by the people of Eorzea that the Aether ties all things together, which is why when someone dies, their body fades away, for they are returning back to the Aether. Yet Aether is not without its dangers either, as a great concentration of aether is lethal and cause anyone who is around for too long to become highly unstable and aggressive. High concentrations of aether in a location is visible to see like mist, and in places like the Black Shroud, such concentrations have also taken on the shape of what many call “the elements”.
Curiously, because of natural born Garleans having lack of magic, they also have lack of attunement to the Aether flow and when they die, their bodies are known to actually remain, they also have the inability to effect any form of Aether without their Magitek devices. |
| Aetheryte |
|---|
| An Aetheryte is a large crystal surrounded by a type of machinery mimicking that of Magitek. These Aetheryte crystals are connected to the Aether and act as teleportation beacons, allows one to attune themselves to the energy of that crystal and grant them teleportation to that crystal. There is no limit to the Aetherytes one may attune themselves too and thus for those of Eorzea and those whom can ride the Aether energy, there is no limit to the places one can go, as there are other forms of Aetheryte as well, these are:
Aetheryte Gates: A small font of aether energy that is connected to the main Aetheryte crystal. Aetheryte gates can only be accessed by its connected Aetheryte crystal and requires that of Anima to use. Aetheryte Nodes: These nodes are small pockets of Aether energy that can be summoned to return someone back to an Aetheryte Crystal in the area. These nodes do not remain long and will vanish quickly. It should be known also that Magitek weaponry can actually destroy an Aetheryte node and gate, by negating the flow of energy. This has lead to some concern that the Garlean Empire may be able to eventually design a weapon that could perhaps even destroy Aetheryte Crystals, though so far, none exists yet. |
| Ala Mhigo |
|---|
| Ala Mhigo is one of the city-states located in the eastern side of the content Aldenard. They were a city known for their great military power and great natural defenses thanks to the mountainous and highland region. However there military power was matched and fought off by the Garlean Empire. In their loss they ended up joining with the technological power and now are like many nations that have fallen to Garlemald, serve as a labor force and extra grunts for the military. |
| Allagan Empire |
|---|
| The Allagan Empire was a technological powerhouse in its time, though it is now a place that lies in ruins. The technology that the Allagans had created is the backbone of what runs the Garlean Empire, but yet so many secrets have the Garleans yet to uncover. It is a known fact, even to the Garleans, that the Allagan’s technological level was so advance, that it would make their own Magitek seem like a child’s play in comparison. |
| Allagans |
|---|
| The name of the once people of the Allagan Empire. Though none remain, many of their books are still found from time to time and many scholars work desperately to uncover the mysteries of these lost people. |
| Aldenard |
|---|
| Aldenard is one of the great Continents within the region of Eorzea. It contains Mor Dhona, The Black Shroud, Thanalan, and Coerthas. |
| Airship |
|---|
| The Airship technology was originally created by the Garlean Empire as a means of transportation. As such the Garlean Empire are the rulers of the skies when it comes to such things as Aerial combat. Though in more recent times, thanks to a man named Cid, the Eorzean people have now also acquired airships, though pale in comparison they may be, they still have their uses.
Airships are considered part of the Magitek technology and operate on that of Ceruleum, though there are a few airships within Eorzea that still use pure Aether energy to operate. Though fewer they are becoming. |
| Anima |
|---|
| Anima is the aether energy located in someone. It is through this anima that allows those to even use the Aether energy for teleportation, though in teleporting, the aether energy interacting with ones own energy tends to cause light headedness, momentary vertigo, and shortness of breath. Thankfully once someone gets use to it, the effects grow shorter to the point where one is no longer bothered by it.
It is also believed by some scholars that it is through the natural bodies Anima is how the Primals are able to control the people. Though such a thing is only a theory and none are sure if this to be true or not. |
| Ascians |
|---|
| The Ascians, also known as Paragons, are the minions of the dark god, Zodiark. They have the ability to corrupt, if not outright possess those of weak will. They were the forces that taught the Beast Men tribes how to summon the Primals and perhaps also lead one of the Imperial Legatus down his corrupted path. They tend to appear as people, but none are sure if this is their true form or not. They also have the ability to appear as beasts as well if they so desire. Their main objective seems to create disorder wherever they go and eventually corrupt the Mothercrystal. |
| Astral |
|---|
| The Astral is the first phase of the moon. It is also connected in some ways to the Primals, as the Primals are able to tap into the Astral flow in order to use their most devastating of attacks. It is believed by this that the Astral is not only connected to the moon phase, but perhaps also to a side of the Aether energy. |
B
| Beast Men |
|---|
| Beast Men is a term used across Hydaelyn for a race of sentient half human, half beast people that are not truly part of civilization and desire to live in the wilds like beasts. If someone also for example wants to get under the skin of a Miqo’te, they may refer to them as Beast Men as well, as it is hard to determine the reasons for why Miqo’te do not hold this title, beyond the fact they have joined civilization, but yet those such as Goblins are still titled it. |
| Bell |
|---|
| A bell in Eorzea is a marker of time. It represents a passing of an hour. So if you say wanted to meet in 30 mins, you would say “Half a bell”. |
C
| Castrum |
|---|
| A Castrum is the term that the Garleans use for their fortified bases. These bases have high metal walls, magitek gates, and typically are heavily guarded by both troops and Magitek armors. Some Castrums are larger than others and the tend to be constructed once an area has been fully secured. As an example of such a Castrum, there is Castrum Novus that has been renamed recently to Castrum Centri located in Mor Dhona. |
| Ceruleum |
|---|
| Ceruleum is the lifeblood of the Garlean Empire. It is the very fuel source that runs all there Magitek equipment from their airships to their Magitek armors. Ceruleum itself is a refined version of Aether that draws from the Aether itself or from that of the crystals. Because of its nature though, Ceruleum is extremely unstable and can easily explode if not handled correctly. |
| Coerthas |
|---|
| Coerthas is a mountainous region just outside of the Black Shroud and Mor Dhona. Before the unleashing of Bahamut, the land was already one of a cool climate that would snow from time to time, but will the fall of the world, the area has become one of a winter wonderland. Coerthas is also home of the city-state Ishgard, who keeps itself sealed away from the rest of the world. |
| Crystal |
|---|
| The Crystal is a shard of Aether energy that has taken material form. These Crystal can be used for many things such as lighting a fire in a stove, to aiding in the forging of weapons. Crystals are also used to create Ceruleum to run Magitek and tend to be heavily sought after by the Beast Men tribes to aid in summoning of their Primal lords. |
