The world of Vana'diel is a crossroads of magic, swords, and technology.

It is also a battlefield where those who believe in light face monsters that thrive in darkness.

The struggle centers on the control of 5 powerful mother crystals: sacred stones, born of the great crystal, the fundamental source of all creation.

The battle lines are drawn.

Once more the world faces the dangers of an unknown enemy, and the treasures of a dark past that may save mankind, or destroy it.

But, man has united before to sieze victory from the beastmen, their master, the forces of the ancients, and even the gods...

On a continent to the east a majestic empire is said to exist, the land of Aht Urhgan.

Rumored to protect a powerful treasure, could this nation be our newest friend...or deadliest foe?

This is my story...

This is your story...

This, is the History of Vana'diel.
