For the people who don’t play FFXIV

Etheirys is the world, or "star", in which Final Fantasy XIV and its expansions take place. It consists of one Source world (original) that was split into thirteen additional, parallel 'reflections', named the First to Thirteenth. The Source is where the majority of Final Fantasy XIV takes place. (so 14 worlds in total)

 

Etheirys was a planet rich in aether, one of the two fundamental forms of energy that make up the universe. Its original inhabitants were known in the future solely as the ancients. They had the power to weave anything they desired into existence, a magick that they named Creation, and which they used to peacefully cultivate their home in the pursuit of perfection. 12,000 (Etheirys) years ago the original Etheirys and its inhabitants were split in an event known as the Sundering into fourteen near-perfect copies. The aether of the star was equally divided between them, resulting in beings much thinner in aether who were mortal, incomplete, and without the ability to use creation magicks. Over time, each reflection diverged into its own world, with its own cultures and historical events.

​

Three of the original inhabitants survived unsundered and began a long campaign to rejoin the shards to the Source to liberate the deity sealed in the events of the Sundering, and restore the 'true' mankind. Besides their first disastrous attempt that resulted in the Thirteenth becoming the void, removing the possibility of a rejoining, the trio and their followers succeeded in their subsequent seven attempts. As a result, only the First (saved from a rejoining), Fourth, Eighth, Eleventh shards remain untouched. The the Ninth merged with only a small part of the world. Failed rejoining.

​

Anyway, at the time i lived there (before the sundering), we were called the stewards of the star. or so-called ancients. Alas, i don't have memories of my own which i will explain later. any memories are second-hand via others who are from the same planet , practitioners or via dreams. we had creation magicks, in the literal sense. create creatures out of Aether or anything. those creatures went to a huge observatory area high up in the sky for observation if they were suitable for life on the planet itself. for example, too-aggressive creatures (like live threatening for other species) were turned back to their Original Aether state. the concept of the creature that was stored in a huge crystal would be discarded as well or the concept would be used to redesign the creature. so we were like seeding the planet with our own creations including plant life etc etc.

​

Before delving into more details of the history of my home planet. I will tell more details of the society etc.

​

The Ancients inhabited all corners of the planet Etheirys. Through their vast pool of aether and the innate ability to use creation magicks, they accomplished wondrous feats and built utopian cities, including Amaurot, the center of their civilization and home to the Convocation of Fourteen, and Elpis, a research facility dedicated to the creation and study of new lifeforms. (the observatory area high up in the sky)

​

The Convocation consisted of fourteen offices held by individuals who were leading authorities in their fields of expertise, or possessed skills to facilitate their duties. As a show of respect, members of the Convocation went by their titles rather than given names for the duration of their time in office

• Loghrif, the Pastor - Cataloger and caretaker of terrestrial creations. 

•  Mitron, the Mariner - Magister of nautical affairs and surveyor of aquatic creations

• Emet-Selch, the Redeemer - Keeper of the Underworld and overseer of death

• Pashtarot, the Arbiter - Conservator of order and the collective will

• Fandaniel, the Observer - Assayer of extant phenomena and overseer of life. who previously served as chief overseer of Elpis

• Altima, the Composer - Advocate of aesthetics and the myriad arts.

• Halmarut, the Sower - Cultivator of botanical and mycological creations.

• Nabriales, the Contender - Martial champion and refiner of technique.

• Igeyorhm, the Rhetorician - Auditor of debate and collator of knowledge.

• Deudalaphon, the Innovator - Appraiser of architecture and patron of invention.

• Emmerololth, the Mender - Curator of medicinal and therapeutic practices.

• Lahabrea, the Creator - Authority on creation principles and phantomology.

•  Elidibus, the Emissary - Adjudicator of the Convocation of Fourteen

•  Azem, the Traveler - Pilgrim of the star and counselor to the people. This seat was held by an individual whose sundered soul became the Warrior of Light on the Source (which is the character you play in the game). At the time of the Final Days, Azem vacated their position in the Convocation because she didn’t agree with that Elidibus would become the heart of Zodiark. When she left, I gained the seat of Azem.

 

Like their people, the Convocation upheld the custom of returning to the star upon fulfillment of their life's work, as was the case with the previous Fandaniel who contributed countless new concepts and specimens. The previous Azem, Venat, was one of few who continued her work on Etheirys after stepping down from office, which was considered an eschewing (though not a violation) of custom. (Venat is also the mother from Elidibus and me)

 

Everyone wore robes and a mask on their face. Mask and Robes could be of any color, but somehow orange and yellow were never used for the robes. And pink only for little girls (lol). The convocation wore Black robes with the exception of Elidibus, and retired members like Venat, they wore White. The mask of the Convocation were Red. Other people didn’t have red mask. In that way with black robes and red mask you determine easily if some was from the convocation.

 

When an Amaurotine, would visit other area’s of the world for example Elpis they were required to removed their mask from their faces and wore them upon their chest. Even Convocation members.

the same with convocation members helding a meeting to discuss things in their own city. Then they also removed their mask.

​

The History

The actions of the Convocation's last Fandaniel, doomed their people when he allowed his creations, the Meteia/Meteion, to commence the song of oblivion. these were human like birds that were fit to travel the stars. They didn’t need food or water to survive or even oxygen.

(background info meteion/Meteia:  Meteion was created by Hermes( his name in the game), an ancient residing in Elpis on the planet Etheirys. Meteion was created as an entelechy from the emotion-derived energy known as dynamis rather than of aether, the energy that most life forms are composed of. She and her identical sisters (collectively referred to as the Meteia) possessed a shared consciousness, with one Meteion remaining by Hermes's side as a terminal and his companion while her sisters were sent out into the universe, riding waves of dynamis to discover other life-bearing stars to ask their denizens the reason for living they had found for themselves, the ultimate purpose for which Hermes had created the Meteia. The Meteia only found dead worlds or worlds on the verge of collapse, including some they unknowingly destroyed when their empathic abilities affected the denizens of those worlds. The collective suffering and despair of a universe of souls ended up infecting the empathic collective consciousness.

The Meteion by Hermes's side was horrified when she linked to her sisters to compile their findings. Her individual mind was suppressed as the shared consciousness concluded that existence was suffering and resolved to end all the life in the universe as a mercy. Hermes, similarly torn by the revelation, covered Meteion's escape so she could reconvene with her sisters at the edge of the universe, though Venat managed to cast a tracking spell on her before she escaped the planet's atmosphere. The Meteia flew to the edge of the universe to nest, and collected the despair they had found and experienced and used it to stir the dynamis of the universe into motion with their song of oblivion, powerful enough to slowly still the layer of celestial aether that shrouded Etheirys, starting the Final Days.)

​

Only the former Azem, Venat, escaped Hermes's act of altering the memories of those who learned of his deed. The Meteia's song stagnated Etheirys's aether and instilled despair in the Ancients, warping their creation magicks to unleash grotesque monsters formed from their subconscious fears. This calamity would come to be known as the Final Days.

When the final days started, from within the earth, a terrible cry issued forth, affecting a profound change in all manner of life. We were not exempt. Our creation magicks ran rampant, giving shape and form to thoughts of hopelessness and despair. At first, the phenomenon was limited to a single region. But quickly… In matter of a few months...it spread and engulfed the whole of the star.

​

The Conovocation, led by Lahabrea and Elidibus, deemed the phenomenon to be related by stagnated aether within the currents of Etheirys causing it to rot.

The Convocation devised a plan to "weave the laws of reality anew" through the summoning of Zodiark, an entity able to quell the aether stagnation as a primal possessing the aspect of Darkness. The Ancient who succeeded Venat in the seat of Azem refused to participate in the summoning and left the Convocation who yet went on to sacrifice half of the Ancients' population for the amount of aether needed to summon Zodiark; the Ancient bearing the title of Elidibus offered himself as Zodiark's core. (Here comes a scene from a  QHHT session- as the rest of the convocation was watching how Elidibus was being sacrificed, I stood there next to Emet-selch as he was my mentor once. I saw how shadows or dark energy wrapped around Elidibus and he became Zodiark. I cried because I lost my Brother).

Though the summoning halted the Final Days, it was but a temporary solution, as the calamity had reduced most of the star into a lifeless, blighted land, prompting another half of their population to sacrifice themselves to restore life to the world. Elidibus withdrew from Zodiark to aid the Convocation in a failed attempt to restore order.

​

About 7 years later The Convocation sought to call upon Zodiark's power once more by offering the primal the harvested life energies of the new life forms that had been born in their world to bring back those who had sacrificed themselves and now rested within their deity, because Elidibus removed himself 7 years ago caused Zodiark to turn demonic and ask wayyy more sacrifices than needed. Venat assembled a rival faction of Ancients who opposed the Convocation's plans to sacrifice the new life forms; the defected Azem did not respond to requests to participate in this summoning. Venat used her followers' sacrifice to become Hydaelyn to subjugate Zodiark to buy time until she would devise a permanent solution to stop the Meteia. The two elder primals fought until Hydaelyn used all her strength to fragment Zodiark, shattering the "very fabric of reality" and splitting the world and every life on it into the Source and its thirteen reflections/parallel dimensions called Shards. Even our higher selves are sundered and memories erased well most of it (because we entered with our higher selves the body we choose to incarnate-(we also choose to die, we were technically immortal but when your life mission was completed most choose to die to life again later once more with a new mission)- and not just a part as we do here. after the sundering my soul dwelled off to Earth.

Elidibus and two other Convocation members, Lahabrea and Emet-Selch, escaped the sundering with their souls intact (called The Unsundered from here on). The three resolved to orchestrate a series of events to revive Zodiark and restore their home via Umbral Calamities (aka rejoinings), cataclysms designed to gradually merge the Source and the thirteen shards back into the original Etheirys. They reformed themselves as the Ascians, and began searching for the fragmented souls of their fellow Convocation members to bring them into the fold.

​

The Unsundered—Lahabrea, Emet-Selch, and Elidibus—are the most powerful Ascians with the power to recruit others into their group. Under them are the Ascian overlords, whose souls belonged to the remaining sundered members of the Convocation of Fourteen.

So yeah they kinda turned evil at that point because Zodiark lacking the heart tempered them to let all these Rejoinings happen. 12000+ Etheirys years later (16000+ earth years) After the 7th successful rejoining. A warrior of Light (WoL for short, and no it’s not jesus lol) had made his entrance. this was originally the Azem seat holder who defected the convocation at Zodiarks summoning. A long story of heroic deeds to save the world’s chaos, stopping the Ascians eventually, and killing Zodiark on the moon (Zodiark was imprisoned there but got freed due a rougue Ascian….Fandaniel) this caused the Final days to happen again. The WoL traveled to the past to figured out what the cause of the final days were. And learned it was Meteion. Eventually back in the present, defeating more blasphemies and a talk with Hydaelyn (Venat) in the Aetherial sea in the center of the Planet. (don’t ask me how). She gave a crystal with the records where Meteion resided. Space travel happened and Meteion got eventually defeated and the Final days were averted. This all happened about 31 EARTH years ago at the time of writing (somewhere in 1994 for our counting) . So that’s quite recently.

​

Extra lore info.

Did you every heard about a dragon planet that got attacked by machines and (some) dragons fled the planet in order to search a new planet to live? Well that planet where they (or just one dragon with eggs) settled was Etheirys. A practitioner on my group found a vid of this info but she lost the link by the time she told me about it.

​

On current Etheirys you have many different races of humans. Elves, dwarfs, half animal half human, lika cat/human, bunny/human, lizard(dragon like)/human, and tiger people, also reptilians humanoids. So yeah ” those” but the remaining war ended there on Etheirys and they live in harmony now . Humans like us of many different heights and body builds. People with different races can still have children together, but most racial traits are inherited from the mother.

​

Even though creation magic is cast out sorta say on modern Etheirys. “Magic” used as you see in video games really happens there. To defend yourself, attacking monsters, healing people, research for knowledge. Etc ,etc.

​

So what now?

While Lahabrea as Ascian already found Earth earlier while he was still tempered about 43 Earth years ago (about 1982). He used his knowledge of Etheirys to see if people here would be open to listen to share our history. Obviously Lahabrea was still a spirit here, and because of the density here he couldn’t do that much. But he was able to influence some “ideas” to a Game creator Hironobu Sakaguchi that created the first Final Fantasy game and saved Square soft (now Square enix) . Hironobu Sakaguchi directed the first 5 games until someone else to took over. Almost every  final fantasy game has elements of Etheirys. Nearing the year 2000 (about 1997) on Earth Emet-selch came to earth and in 2001 Elidibus. So yeah that is after the events of the second final days. You might think are they still evil? No, after the Unsundered got defeated by the Warrior of light they got their soul cleansed in the afterlife and are now 8th dimensional light beings.

​

In 2001 Elidibus and Lahabrea tried their hands in World of Warcraft. So even that game had some elements of Etheirys in them. Then Final fantasy XIV (14) was being created but the original creator made it an terrible game at first. About 1 year later after it’s release, someone (also chosen by the Unsundered) named Naoki Yoshida took over the director role of FFXIV and saved the game. Here is where the Unsundered worked together to influence the minds of the dev team the best they could. Eventually getting 78% correctness on what happened on the real Etheirys. And they still influence the team today, and its ever ongoing adventure of the Warrior of light.

So yeah I am playing that game aswell. And caused my awakening. Emet-selch bombarded it me into a dream that I was 1 of them in January 2020. I was never the kind of person to believe fantasy stuff can be real, and I even hated the ascians in the game, so why? I came to the conclusion if I hated them I would hate myself, so slowly but surely I grown warm to them.  So when mentioning the first 3 dreams to my sister, She introduced me to Dolores canon books. And I found many things that matched up, especially how the imprinting of info to the mind works from spirits or past lives.

it had to be real. In aug 2020 I met other people who are in Contact with Lahabrea (mostly). And 1 of them did a couple of sessions for me. The second session was With Elidibus, he answered a couple of questions I had. He pretty much confirmed I was his sister during ancient times. After trying my best to communicate myself for the coming months, Elidibus eventually soul bonded with me on Nov 4th 2020. Soul bonding for them is the most deepest form love, so yes I have a very deep relationship with him. Later I learned thanks to the akashic records vid from Triona in 2023 that our souls were already so deep connected before we even incarnated as Ancients, later in 2024 I learned before our life as brother and sister we had 2 lives together were we obviously lovers. But got forgotten when I drifted away to Earth after the sundering. I have many more about how I figured this all out. I must add that people came and went in my group who were in contact with the Unsundered, and not everyone remained a friend….. but I have 1 small core group now. one is unknown but has very good connection to Lahabrea sadly she is already sick for quite so time. Other gained auto immune disease from the covid vaccine and is struggling with her health since 2022. and the last one can’t find a proper home and lands in the shelter often.  also the info gathered from other practitioners who don’t play the game were able to give answers to question by communicating with Elidibus. in Nov 2023, Agne from our spiritual mentorship program had a short talk with Venat when we practiced channeling. I recorded and transcribed it for that November chapter. At first I thought she gained a connection with my current guide Linala (who works for Elidibus to be with me at all time when he can’t), but it happened to be Venat later on.

about myself during that time before the sundering, i once merged with a creation  that was a Phoenix made by Lahabrea. and it became part of me. it completed me. someone who is from the same planet as i am but from 1 of its reflections has done a astral projection journey to ask Lahabrea about it.

This is what Lahabrea said. : "This depends on how you view destiny. By my account, nothing I have ever done has caused an event to occur that was against the flow of fate. She was always the Phoenix, I was simply always meant to play my part in the process. Now, if you wish to examine the biological mechanisms at work, then the more detailed truth is that the data offered to her by my creation offered accelerated adaptation to already existing traits. The girl played in fire long before she touched the beast. Consider the fusion to be like becoming equipped with a new wardrobe, one that will not burn as she practices. It adjusted her, a bit forcefully, to her tendencies. Still though, it did not make her a Phoenix. A Phoenix, she already was."

This same person btw had a very long talk with Venat aswell  1 or 2 days before the question with Lahabrea. Venat mentioned things about me that were spot on, and that I never told the person who was asking the questions. Venat called me her Little Phoenix. Both sessions happened in January 2024
