Nations of Gaia:

Mist Continent:

Kingdom of Alexandria:


The Kingdom of Alexandria is the oldest Kingdom in the Mist Continent, it having been founded around 806 GSC (Gaian Solar Calendar). Since then, the nation had grown to become one of the three superpowers of Gaia, albeit trailing behind technologically behind Lindblum and Oeilvert. Despite this, Alexandria is known for its serene atmosphere and it matriarchal soicety. The Queen had ruled as the Head of State for Alexandria since its founding, a feature that has not changed in over 800 years.

The current ruling monarch is Queen Garnet Til Alexandros XVII. A Benevolent, if Self-Depreciating ruler, Garnet spearheaded the projects of peaceful expansion throughout the world, and along with her husband and King-Consort, Zidane Tribal, helped in the restoration of the former village of the Summoners, Mardain Sari.

Since becoming Queen in March 1800 and marrying Zidane in February 1801, the ruling family produced two children, 12 year old, Sarah Cornelia Alexandros I, Princess and Heir-apparent to the throne, and 6 year old Kuja Garlandios Alexandros, styled as Prince of Treno.

-Dali

The Village of Dali is a farming community, producing many foodstuffs for the Kingdom of Alexandria. During the Mist Continental War (another name for Bhrane's War), Dali was used in the production of the Black Mages, many of whom escaped to what would be the Black Mage Village. Dali still has an industry of making engines and weapons for Alexandria, but it remains a small scale project.

Morrid's Old Tower was renovated after Morrid's Death when the Iifa Tree went berserk. In addition, the airship docks were expanded, making Dali the Third Largest Airship dock on the Continent and 6th Largest in the world (behind Esto Gaza, Daguerro, Alexandria, Oeilvert and Lindblum)

-Treno

Treno is the second largest city in the Kingdom of Alexandria. The city goes by many names, three of the most popular names are the "City of Nobles" due to the fact that the majority of the Alexandrian Nobility resides in Treno, as well as the "Sleepless City" due to the exuberant nightlife the city holds. Another name for the city, which became its official nickname is "Dark City" due to the almost perpetual state of Darkness for where the city is founded on.

Treno is economically polarized, having no middle class. The city is divided between the rich upper class, the nobles, aristocrats and capitalists who live on the waterfront, and the poor and downtrodden lower class who lives in the city slums. As a result, Treno is often the sight of Liberalist views and equality.

Many events take place in the city itself, including the Tera Master Tournament and the new and slowly up and coming sport, the Chocobo Grand Prix, which only recently began 12 years ago.

Regency of Lindblum:


The Regency of Lindblum is the most populated nation in Gaia. Lindblum was originally a Kingdom until the last King of Lindblum died in battle during the Ninth Lindblum-Alexandrian War (1389-1398) where he was defeated and killed by then 13 year old General Magdalene. The winner of the Festival of the Hunt, a Young Cid Fabool became the Regent of Lindblum until the heir came of age, but after the heir's death, Cid Fabool, while de Jure was still the Regent, was de facto the ruling Monarch to the Lindblumite throne.

The current ruling monarch is Regent Cid Fabool IX. He has selected an heir in his adopted daughter, Eiko, who if when she becomes regent would be known as Eiko Fabool-Carol I.

Known as the Grand Castle, due to the illusion that Lindblum was one gigantic castle, it is but a ruse, as the entire city resides within the walls of the outer castle, whereas the inner castle, where the Regent and his family resides, also houses the Lindblum Shipyards and is the primary headquarters of the Royal Lindblum Air Force, the largest and most advanced Airship Fleet in the world.

Kingdom of Burmecia:


The Kingdom of Burmecia is one of the few Kingdoms in the Mist Continent to be located under the mist. The mist, responsible for its long periods of rain gave the city it's official nickname, "The Realm of Eternal Rain"

Burmecia suffered several tragedies during the Mist Continental War. It was wiped out almost completely by Alexandria on January 19, 1800 and suffered the loss of it's King, Stanislas during the Siege of Cleyra 4 days later. The city was completely rebuilt following the War and the subsequent crisis with Kuja under a regency.

The current ruler of Burmecia is King Puck, who assumed the throne on June 6, 1812 on his 16th Birthday, his spouse and Queen-consort is Lilly Crescent, the youngest daughter of famed Dragon Knights, Fratley and Freya Crescent.

Republic of Cleyra:


The Republic of Cleyra was the successor state to the old Theocratic State, which ended with the death of the Cleyran High Priest in the Siege of Cleyra. Cleyra, established in 1389 after a Civil War led to the dissolvement of relations between Cleyra and Burmecia, went on to become the first Republican government in Gaian history. Despite earlier grievances, Burmecia and Cleyra continued to forged a friendly relationship with each other.

With help from books found in Daguerro, the survivors of Cleyra over time managed to restore the great tree, and thus recreate the settlement larger than before. With the influx of people coming from around the world, the Cleyran "baby boom," and the peace shared between the nations of the world, Cleyra no longer needed a sandstorm to protect itself. In its place was an even larger settlement that circled the tree, allowing its people to live comfortable lives. Cleyra, while still the smallest of the four kingdoms in terms of population, literally tripled its population since the Mist Continental War.

Cleyra is an Administrative Republic, relying to a great extent on strict organization on political matters and the bureaucracy to effectively run their government. Its leader, the Stadtholder is Samuel, who was only but recently elected to the position.

Outer Continent:

Conde Petie:


The City-State of Conde Petie is an independent nation that holds some sway over the western half of the Outer Continent. The City State holds control over the Mountain Path that links the Outer Continent with the Island of Madain Sari.

Conde Petie is a Free State, a Democracy of sorts, with a population consisting entirely of Dwarves. Two of the nations primary icons is the kirkboat, where the people of Conde Petie get married, and the Sanctuary, also known as the Iifa Tree, and is shown evidently in the state flag.

-Port Iifa:

Port Iifa was one of the new towns built after the Mist Continental War and the Kuja Crisis. As the sole port city in the Outer Continent, Iifa delivers much needed supplies from the Mist Continent and Forgotten Continent states via Ship, much of which is delivered to the Black Mage Village, where Airship travel is inaccessible.

Port Iifa got its name from the Iifa Tree, of which the Port city is located on a small Peninsula to the northwest of the Iifa Tree. Many an adventurer travels to the foot of the Iifa Tree to prove themselves worthy of being warriors.

Mardain Sari:


The City-State of Madain Sari is located on an island north of the Outer Continent. Formerly known as the Village of the Summoners, Madain Sari is now home to the largest population of Moogles, although humans from both Alexandria and Lindblum, at the behest of their respective monarchs, live here to begin the reconstruction of the village, while preserving the architecture.

Unlike the other city states, Alexandria and Lindblum assists in the jurisdiction of the city as a joint protectorate.

Nation of the Black Mages:


The Nation of the Black Mages is a small city state located in the forest and mountains to the South of the Conde Petie Mountain Path. The Black Mage Village has a population consisting mostly of artificial beings, both Black Mages originally created in Dali, and after the Kuja Crisis, the Genomes originally from Terra. The Terran Spring led to most of the Genomes leaving the Village, some assisting in the founding of Oeilvert and Ipsen, while others leaving to stake their claims in the reconstruction efforts in Madain Sari and the establishment of a new city in the Outer Continent.

The Nation is led by a Duumvirate, the Black Mages Led by Black Mage No. 2552, the Genomes led by King Zidane's perceived younger sister, Mikoto.

-Fossil Roo Settlement:

The Fossil Roo Settlement is a newly refurbished tunnel network system, made from the roots of Iifa Tree. This system connects the Qu's Marsh-Mist Continent (in the Regency of Lindblum) with the Outer Continent outside the Black Mage Village. The only way to get to the two locations is by a large mole-cricket type creature known as the Gargant. As a result, this route is widely used by people trying to get to and from the Outer Continent.

There is a small mining town located within the roots underneath the Ocean between the two Continents, this mining town is usually a detour for those wanting to go and mine for precious jewels, but there are those who wish to live there for the serene atmosphere.

-Albion Union:

The Albion Union is a newly established democratic republic, established in 1809 by Lindblumite ex-patriots, mixed with Genomes and Black Mages from the Black Mage village. Centered around the interior city of Albion, it is a federal government that is to represent the people from all walks of life. (More to be added soon)

Forgotten Continent:

Oeilvertian Empire:

The Oeilvertian Empire is considered by many within its borders as the successors to Terra's Legacy. Situated around the ruins from Terra's first attempt at fusing with Gaia 5,000 years ago, Oeilvert would be settled almost exclusively by Genomes. Its early history since its founding in 1805 was marked by the Oeilvert Civil War, fought by varying factions across Oeilvert and much of the Forgotten Continent over who would be claim the Oeilvertian throne. Ten years of conflict ended with the rise of an enigmatic genome, not well known by even their own people, going by the name of Lord Cyril. While Cyril's intentions are ambiguous at best, his objective is clear, to establish Oeilvert as the dominant nation in the world.

Kingdom of Ipsen:


The Kingdom of Ipsen is the second largest Kingdom in the Forgotten Continent, nicknamed "The Alexandria of the Forgotten Continent." The nation was founded shortly after the Genomes receiving souls as a result of the "Terran Spring" in 1802. Unlike Oeilvert who spent its early days embroiled in Civil War for power, Ipsen was relatively peaceful, and much of its customs were brought over by settlers mainly from Alexandria.

Ipsen, like Alexandria has their own version of the Pluto Knights, but little is known about them or their customs.

The Ruling Monarch of Ipsen is a Genome, Lord Alphonse. Unlike his brother and Oeilvert's ruler, Lord Cyril, Alphonse is more of a Diplomat than a General, and prefers to better his standing with the world through talk and not through action.

Serene Republic of Daguerreo:


The Serene Republic of Daguerreo, also known as the Secret Library and the Hermit's Library is located in the Southern part of the Forgotten Continent. Like Cleyra, it is a Republic, albeit one focused on Trade and Commerce rather than Administration and Bureaucracy. Anyone can run for office, regardless of race, unlike Cleyra where only a Cleyran can become Stadtholder.

Daguerreo, being located in a cave on an island protected by high cliffs make it inpregnable to all but those who use airships. As a result, Daguerreo has their own airship fleet, though it is the smallest in the world to protect the Library from attack. The ruler is known as the Duce, and since its foundation as an official nation in 1809, the current Duce is a Burmecian by the name of Louis-Jacques Daguere. Louis-Jacques is known to be a survivor from the Siege of Burmecia and moved to Daguerreo after the Kuja Crisis. It was he who helped introduce Daguerreo to the world and established it as a trading nation.

Lost Continent:

Archbishopric of Esto Gaza:


The Archbishopric of Esto Gaza is a religious nation, the sole nation on the Lost Continent. Once one of two Theocracies, Esto Gaza was the main location, the final stop of the pilgrimage to the Shimmering Isles. Located at the foot of Mount Gulug, another pilgrimage site. Esto Gaza was largely neutral in any conflicts, although they have moved towards establishing a defense force.

The Archbishop of Esto Gaza is the first female Archbishop, Lady Lucretia.

Timeline

ca 4000 BCE:
Planet Gaia is created

Garland is created

ca 3000 BCE:
Terra attempts to assimilate the young planet of Gaia, but Gaia's crystal rejected the Fusion with disastrous results. Gaia's surface was left in ruin and its civilizations were wiped out. Terra itself ended up warping inside the planet of Gaia, and only its red moon remained and moved on Gaia's orbit, giving the planet two moons. Many Terran locations also ended up shifting on the planet of Gaia, such as the Desert Palace, Oeilvert, Ipsen’s Castle, and Mt. Gulug. The Shimmering Islands is formed as a gateway between the two worlds.

1200 BCE:
Garland begins to construct Genomes to serve as vessels for the sleeping Terran souls once the Fusion would be complete.

1 CE:
Gaia's environment is recovering and the Shimmering Island begins to shine, marking the beginning of Gaia's modern civilization. The calendar begins.

806:
The Kingdom of Alexandria is founded with King Alexander I Thessalonikos as its first King.

1066:
The Kingdom of Lindblum is founded with its first King being Edward I Lind. The King Edward Plains are named in his honor.

1200:
Garland creates the soul divider, the SoulCage, to the Iifa Tree's base to stop the Gaian souls from returning to their crystal, and replacing them with Terran elements instead. The Iifa Tree's roots that circle around the entire planet beneath its surface begin to expel the rejected souls on the Mist Continent, a process that manifests itself as Mist, thus giving the continent the name it's known by the time of the game. Monsters begin appearing and the mist has a hardening effect on the civilisation that, by that time, had taken root on the Mist Continent. The population succumbs into warfare and the ruling kingdoms collapse in continuous wars. The Kingdom of Burmecia (founded 970) is the sole surviving Kingdom to survive the onslaught intact.

1337:
The Eidolon Alexander is summoned for the first time in Alexandria, but the summoning experiment goes wrong and the summoners are unable to control it. Being deemed too dangerous, Alexander is extracted from its summoner and its gemstone is split into four crystals. One crystal piece is given to each of the three ruling kingdoms of the Mist Continent, the Kingdom of Alexandria, the Kingdom of Lindblum and the Kingdom of Burmecia, while a fourth would be kept by the summoners who migrate to the Outer Continent and found the city of Mardain Sari to continue their research into Eidolons.

1385-1389
Ninth Lindblum War: War broke out between the Kingdom of Alexandria and the Kingdom of Lindblum involving the nascent Duchy of Treno. Magdalene, the youngest General of Alexandrian History, with nine knights on her side, face off against a Lindblumite Army of roughly 5,000 in the King Edward Plains. The result leads to a complete and decisive victory for the Alexandrian Army, including the death of the last Lindblumite King, Richard II Lind. The Peace of Dali led to the annexation of Treno into Alexandria.

1389:
The 139th Annual Festival of the Hunt, which determined who would rule the country as regent for the 6 year old Henry IV, was won by Cid Fabul I. Henry IV would later die in 1391, leaving Cid as permanent de facto ruler of Lindblum, and establishing the Fabulian dynasty.

In addition to this, he is also trained in the use of flintlock pistols, though he seldom uses them in battle.

History: (to be continued)
Leonide was born in Bran Bal, in Terra. His birth was most unusual, as he was part of an experiment conducted by Garland, conceived before he was even an embryo. Through genetic alterations, Leonide was made a Hermaphrodite, having both male and female reproductive organs. But like most Genomes at the time, did not seem to feel different. Like his brethren, his focus was dedicated to the restoration of Terra, but was cut short with Kuja's destruction of Terra and the relocation of his race to the Black Mage Village in Gaia. The subsequent Terran Spring brought souls to the Terran Genomes, and Leonide would soon become, in a way, self-aware.

Leonide would spend his time exploring the world from his home village. Where he would come to terms and help raise her sister, Cerise. It is also there that he would get a taste of learning Black Magic from the Black Mages. Both of them eventually became one of the first travelers to head to Oeilvert with Mikoto.

Personality:
The Pirate is, in the words of some, "The ultimate free spirit". In the words of others, "Crazy." Although his loyalty is seemingly towards Lord Cyril, his main concern is his own personal freedom. Because he lashes out at people who restrict his freedom, he is one of the few Lord Generals to have a personal degree of autonomy outside the Oeilvert military.

The only exception being a series of straps over his waist where one gun and his sword are holstered. In this mode, he can fire bullets of light from his gun and doesn't need to reload. This makes him a dangerous ranged opponent in battle.

Weapons:
The Pirate's weapons of choice are his Sword, "The Queen of Hearts" and Musket Revolver, the "Ranger." The Queen of Hearts is a 2 foot long Cutlass that is sharp to the edge. The blade has a black grip and has a crimson-stained center surrounding the edges of the blade.

The Ranger is a Revolver that fires 16mm lead balls, as well as other specialized ammo, including the 20-mm pellet round and the Conical 15-mm Rifled round. Because of the special use and the longer reloading period, the Pirate carries 4 on his person. Unlike most other firearms of the period, the Ranger carries 6 bullets for rapid fire.

He was residing in Lindblum at the age of 8 when news of Alexandria's attack on Burmecia and Cleyra was launched. During the attack, his parents died and he was left alone with his mentors in Lindblum. Because it was only a matter of time before he ran out of money to afford his tutors, he packed his belongings and tried to make his name west, eventually leaving the Mist Continent.

His arrival in Daguerreo in April 1800 was what began leading the Cleyran to a life of politics. He was instrumental in bringing enlightenment ideals and began the process of transforming the Hermit Library into a vibrant trading city, a true merchant's republic focused on trade. While he never became it's doge, he used the funds from his building democracy for the restoration of Cleyra.

When Cleyra was restored in 1808, Samuel moved to establish the continent's first republic, rather restoring the theocracy and installing a new high priest. During the first elections in 1809, Samuel became Cleyra's first, and thus far, only Stadtholder of the new Cleyran Republic.

History:
Zidane was born on September 19, 1783 in the city of Bran Bal in the world of Terra. He was born with the intention by Garland to serve as an "Angel of Death," that is to remove Gaia's souls and replace them with the souls of Terra. He was given a full life so that he would develop complex emotions and thus be able to obtain Trance, unlike his elder brother Kuja, who was created as an adult. Kuja's jealousy and rage over Garland creating a superior Genome of him left the four year old Zidane on the Mist Continent, near the Kingdom of Lindblum and abandoned him there where he would be raised under the guiding care of Baku and the Tantalus Theater Troupe.

Twelve Years later, he would undergo a mission started by Regent Cid Fabul of Lindblum to kidnap then-Princess Garnet Til Alexandros XVI, and bring her safely to Lindblum. The events of that day started them down the path to adventure, alongside then Captain Adalbert Steiner, Freya Crescent, Vivi Ouritnia and their comrades. Over the course of their adventures, Zidane met Kuja again and confronted his past and origins on the path to saving the world from Kuja and Necron, but disappeared when he set out to save Kuja.

Zidane returned on Garnet's 17th Birthday, to the jubilant crowds of Alexandria in what she called, "the greatest birthday gift she ever received." They officially married 3 months later, and went on to have two children together, the crown Princess, Sarah and the Duke of Treno, Kuja Garlandios.

Now as King-Consort of Alexandria, Zidane serves as a pillar of support to both his wife, the Queen, their children and the Kingdom of Alexandria.
