Description
A fictional and speculative map of the World of Ivalice encompassing the world of the FFT, FF12 and Vagrant Story games created by Yasumi Matsuno. I'm probably gonna add in a few invented stuff like nations and cities to fill it up. Obviously this map wasn't meant to portray what the world was really meant to look like and was just a creation of mine combining the continent of Ordalia (Speculated to have been sundered due to the Cataclysm Event which I ignored)

THE WORLD OF IVALICE (2000 Old Valendian)

Once the world of Ivalice was filled with a multitude of races and high technology and magic, where airships braved the skies and mysterious creatures roamed the lands. However, an event known only as the Cataclysm reshaped the land, destroying landmasses, kingdoms and entire races across the world.

And although many humes survived and technology was still intact, a second Cataclysm occured a century later in the form of a massive earthquake, completely destroying civilization as we know it. What once was the Golden Era of Ivalice vanished in an instant, and technology, cultures and knowledge were set back dramatically. It was only after a millennium that order was once more established and from the ashes of the old empires rose kingdoms ruled once more by steel and magick.

To the west where the Holy Ydoran Empire once stood and the western part of the continent of Ordallia called Jylland was once intact, the Kingdom of Ivalice, after a bloody series of conflicts, finally saw peace under the rule of the Commoner-King Delita Heiral who brought unity to the six provinces of the country. Although much of the country and its people has suffered from continuous wars and banditry and lawlessness is abundant, the capital city of Lesalia is known far and wide for its splendor that never fades. Ivalice is notable for being the home of great heroes and many Knightly Orders serving either the nobles or the powerful Church of Glabados in Mullonde.

Northeast of the mainland is the maritime kingdom of Romanda, whose military might on both land and sea is feared even on the Ordallian Continent. Primitive muskets and flintlocks have also recently been created and mass produced, reverse-manufactured from the ancient ruins and machines of the capital city Fluorgis making the industrialized island nation an even larger threat. Rumor has it that its seaworthy ships have managed to discover forgotten continents such as the far western continent of Loar.

The huge Kingdom of Ordallia at the center of the Ordallian continent is flanked by the great Yensa Desert to the east, the Kingdom of Ivalice to the west and the Free Cities of Old Rozarria to the south. The Kingdom of Ordallia is known for its hardy people and its dome-shaped buildings and towers that jut the land. While the kingdom enjoys relative peace with neighboring Ivalice, the major conflict known as the Fifty Years' War saw countless lives lost between the kingdoms of Ordallia, Ivalice and Romanda. The southern part of Ordallia is home to the decentralized region of Rozarria where various city-states enjoy their hard-earned freedom from the north. Cities such as the ancient Ydoran city of Vaseria with its old Pharist basilicas and the beautiful island-city of Mercetto led by its enigmatic Doge, all have their own self-appointed princes and rulers independent from Ordallia.

ORGANIZATIONS

As humes were the only race known to have survived the Cataclysm and with known civilization consisting of mostly them, rule of the land mostly belongs to the monarchs, nobility or the scattered warlords across the land. Meanwhile, certain organizations have also rose to prominence during Ivalice's dark ages as well. First and foremost of these are the religious entities who often guide a nation's faith and hold considerable power, such as the Church of Glabados in Ivalice backed by its militant Knights Templar, the forgotten Church of Pharism still lingering within Ordallia, or the polytheistic Light of Kiltia still prevalent in the east.

Other organizations have also rose to wield considerable power. Among these include the highly-specialized roaming clan of assassins known as the Khamja, the various Thieves' Guilds of the poor and the sanctioned mercenaries of the Warrior's Guild located in major cities, the headstrong Riskbreaker agents of the Kingdom of Valendia, the pirate lords of the Rozarrian coast, the practitioners of black magicks whose eyes grow bright yellow from channeling raw dark magicks, the geomancer tribes in northern Kerwon, the Trading Companies traversing both land and sea for business and profit, the Order of Dragoons on the isles of Deist,the machinists trying to revive ancient technology, the various academies catering to martial or arcane knowledge and the countless Orders of Knighthoods who fight for glory, honor and gil; first and foremost among them the Orders of the Northern and Southern Sky.
