According to Jenomis post Orbonne,

Mullonde was the seat of power for the Holy Ydoran Empire, this being several centuries before Ivalice's unification under Delita. Ajora rose up along with eleven others against the empire's corrupt ruling class and they came to be known as the Zodiac Braves. Ajora was apparently possessed of talents beyond those of mortal man, namely prognostication or the ability to foretell future events, thus allowing him to be declared a "son of the gods". Around when the Zodiac Braves rebellion reached its twentieth year, the imperial capital of Mullonde was destroyed in a single night and sunk into the sea upon which it was built. Ajora died during that event and was eventually elevated to sainthood. Later on though, several of the original Zodiac Braves came forward saying that Ajora had "invoked forbidden rites of summoning" and sold his soul to a devil. Jenomis's conjecture on that is that Ajora summoned Ultima and the remaining Braves joined together to exile the city to another plane where the High Seraph would be unable to exert her influence upon Hydaelyn.

Regarding Ultima:

It's very interesting how the upper body of Ultima has her hands crossed in a very similar manner to the statue we saw of Zodiark.
