An Eorzean Timeline.

[NoloeTazier]

Could it be that we are all of Allagan descent? After the destruction of the Allagan empire the remaining survivors could have spread out all over Hydalean and then after some time people migrated to Eorzea.


Ps. anyone get Battlestar Galactica vibes from FFXIV's lore? XD

Doubt it. Chances are the Allagans were a tribe of Elezen. Van Darnus is suppose to be of Allagan descent and he's one big guy. Also chances are the original wandering tribe(s) were Hellsguard Roegadyn or an Elezen tribe. The Duskwight Elezen seem very capable builders, having built Gelmorra a vast city under the Twelveswood/Black Shorud, something that could be attributed to the Allagans. There's no history of the Elezen (right now) of the migrating to Eorzea so it could be interpreted that they've been here for a very long time.

The Allagans built the Sunway and Starway roads in Thanalan, near present day Ul'dah, so it's speculated the Allagan Empire capital was around this area, an area that is also in close proximity to the ocean and trade. With the destruction of the Allagan Empire in Thanalan, it would make sense for surviving remnants to seek shelter in the Twelveswood. Which would bring about the whole Duskwight and Wildwood Elezen that we have today.
