Category:The Twelve: Difference between revisions

Belief in the Twelve, a pantheon of gods and goddesses each represented by one of the six elements upon which all creation is founded, has served as a cornerstone for civilization in Eorzea for millennia. Though theologians remain unsure of the exact origins of Twelve worship in Eorzea, studies of relics from the Allagan civilization tell us that even five thousand years ago at the peak of the Third Astral Era, the six and six deities were already ingrained in society—as they are today. Not only is the year divided into twelve, and twelve-year cycles used in modern astrology, city-states still choose a patron deity to serve as a guardian over their lands, with that deity becoming a focal point of cultural development, such as the case with Nald’thal and the economically inclined Ul'dahns.

Sometimes people from certain races or professions will choose to focus their worship on a single deity. Many Miqo'te of the Seekers of the Sun clan will follow the teachings of Azeyma, the Warden and goddess of the sun. Sailors will often pray to Llymlaen, watcher of seas and goddess of navigation to see their ships safely to port, and artisans will pray to Byregot to guide their hands.
