2. The history of Eorzea

Foreword

The history of Eorzea is divided into two eras: the age of gods and the age of mortals. The age of the gods came to an end after the first spiritual disaster. Starting from the first star calendar, it was the age of mortals. From then on, seven spiritual disasters and star calendars began to alternate (the history of Eorzea is basically It is the history of the alternation of the Astral Era (the Astral Era) in the stable period and the Umbral Era (the Umbral Era) in the changing period). The first six spiritual disasters each corresponded to six attributes (wind, thunder, fire, earth, ice, water). After the spiritual disasters of all attributes occurred, people thought that the sixth star calendar would continue forever. However, according to the description of the "Mesaya's Prophecy" recorded in Section 7 of the Divine Chronicles, the seventh spiritual disaster that announces the end of the sixth astral calendar will eventually come. In the old version of FF14, the empire's Meteor project caused the moon satellite Dalamud to fall to the surface and awakened Bahamut, triggering the Seventh Umbral Era.

From then on the city-state became another piece of imperial territory, ruled by local usurpers.

When the Imperial fleet marched over Silver Tears Lake, the largest inland lake in the Aldinard continent, they encountered an unexpected enemy. The earthly fantasy dragon in Silver Tears Lake was summoned by someone unknown. Then a group of giant dragons responded to the call of the powerful dragon god and flew from the dragon castle in the northwest to attack the imperial army.

The sky echoed with the roar of artillery and dragons, and the sound of battle was deafening. With a thunderous bang, the Earthly Phantom Dragon collided with the giant ship Agrios, and then fell together. The air battle over Silver Tears Lake ended after both sides died.
