Revelations from Encyclopaedia Eorzea III

[Zero-ELEC]

My question for those with copies of the Encyclopaedia: do they clarify what counts as a blasphemy? There was some confusion about if "terminus beasts", "fell beasts", and "blasphemies" were all the same. Some believed that blasphemies were only the big ones that triggered the effects of the Final Days, others believed them to be all "fell beasts" we encounter, etc.

The first beast that kicked the whole thing off in Radz-at-Han was labelled as a "blasphemy against their beast-headed gods" since it looked similar to Thavnair's gods and subsequently the terminology was picked up by the other nations when referring to the initial beast in each region, and the first one in each region was always the most powerful one.


The book calls them all just "beasts" not "terminus beast" or "fell beast". Though its descriptions of the beasts of the Ancients' Final Days typically have the title "terminus".
