[ eos is not wholly unfamiliar to her - the story of the scholarly fairy of nym, the truth of the tonberries within ampador. but as she reads his text, listening to the story of bahamut, these gods that turned on him and then lay rest protection with humans...

there is undeniably some similarities to stories in their realm. ]


You hail from Izunia's realm, correct? He spoke too of Bahamut. The one from our land, Eorzea, is a false god. Dragonkind have existed for millenia, and one lost her partner to a war. Foul beings known as Ascians offered her a means with which to resurrect him - only it was a false revival, an empty shell of her lover filled with nothing but hate, a being we call a Primal.

This false Bahumut was so powerful he enthralled all around him, and an ancient civilization known as Allag sealed him in a moon, which we knew as Dalamud. A woman named Nael van Darnus became obsessed with Dalamud after those selfsame Ascians told her the truth of it, and brought down the moon, freeing Bahamut. My grandfather gave his own life to protect Eorzea, and even he was not immune from Bahamut's control. My brother and I, and the warrior of light, had to put an end to both my Grandfather's primal form, Nael, and Bahamut himself.

... But it is the Ascians that lie themselves to blame at the root of that great story.
They entice men and kings with power and eternal life, in the name of causing chaos for their own primal, Zodiark. They seek his resurrection.

So while a tale such as yours does not exist in its entirety, parts of it do - men entrusted with secrets of the Ascians, men who are betrayed by the Ascians and betray others in their name. There was an entire religion founded on false lies that the Ascians sought to empower as well.
