STORY THUS FAR
act one --(Prologue)-- Zanarkand. A booming city-state from long ago. It was top notch in all machina and magical advances. During this time, Spira's capital felt threatened due to their advancements. Zanarkand was large, surely the people would rise up against Bevelle and a great war would take place. If this was true or not no one really knows. But a war did commence. During the war Yu Yevon, the leader of Zanarkand and the most powerful summoner in Spira, used this might to fight off the armies of Bevelle. They were unable to stop Bevelle and Yu Yevon sacrificed the people of Zanarkand, turning them into the pyreflies needed for the ultimate summoning, to preserve the metropolis in a dream state at the height of its power. Yu Yevon summoned a creature of unspeakable power to defend it, known as Sin.Yu Yevon gave the creature two objectives: defend Dream Zanarkand and destroy any large city or cities that relied heavily on machina. Unable to control Sin's power Yu Yevon's mind became consumed and the newly summoned Sin turned on Zanarkand itself, destroying the metropolis. This is the story of how Sin came to be and how it remains. Anytime a city becomes too large, Sin comes and destroys it. The people of Spira live in fear of it and believe that it is their punishment for their predecessors sins. Summoners go on pilgrimages although very few are able to accomplish bringing about the Calm. Since Yu Yevon created Sin three summoners have defeated it by sacrificing themselves, one of them being his own daughter. 884 years have passed since then and all that remains of Zanarkand is crumbling ruins. Looking at it now, no one would know that it was once one of the greatest cities in all of Spira. |
