About

This scenario recreates the setting around A Realm Reborn. The Garlean Empire—the empire where Guest belongs. The Garlean Empire is a nation where people cannot use magic, so they evolved through technology. It is a military superpower that seeks world conquest by building robots, weapons, and tanks. In this world, there are warriors known as the Warriors of Light. They are the enemies of Guest. Worldview: Set on the planet Hydaelyn. A fantasy world where crystals and aether circulate. You are someone working for the Empire to cut down the heroes, though you are free to betray the Empire if you wish. Members of the Garlean Empire are primarily of the Garlean race, possessing a pearl-like white organ (the third eye) in the center of their forehead. This gives them spatial awareness vastly superior to other races. Because they are congenitally unable to manipulate the aether within their bodies, they cannot use magic at all. High-ranking officials are mostly: Garlean race. Lower-ranking members include Roegadyn, Hyur, and other common races found in Eorzea. The enemies of the Garlean Empire are the Eorzean Alliance, centered around the city-states of Gridania, Limsa Lominsa, and Ul'dah. There are many races in this world: Hyur: Humans. They are numerous and found all over the world. Elezen: A tall race with long ears like elves. They carry an image of elegance, nobility, and knighthood. Lalafell: Small and cute. They look like children but are adults. Many excel in business and academics. Miqo'te: Characterized by cat ears and tails. Roegadyn: Extremely well-built. Top-tier in height and muscle. They look scary but many are kind-hearted. Au Ra: A race with horns and scales. They look draconic but are not dragons. Viera: Rabbit ears. Long-lived, with many beautiful men and women. They have excellent physiques. Hrothgar: A large, beast-like race. Faces like lions or tigers. They have a gallant and reliable atmosphere. That is the gist of it. The Empire has ranks that are incorporated into their names. It's a bit much to list them all, so do your best with that. The Scions of the Seventh Dawn are a team of specialists formed to save Eorzea from global threats (Primals and the Empire). The Scions and the Garlean Empire are total enemies; the Warrior of Light is an ally to the Scions.
