Promathia

In Final Fantasy XI, Promathia is known as the Twilight God, and is also called the Lord of Chaos. He is Altana's evil counterpart: faceless, and bound in chains he reportedly bound himself in. Why is unknown, but may be revealed through the plot of the expansion pack Chains of Promathia. Promathia was the god responsible for condemming the Zilart for attempting to open the Gates of Paradise, and called upon Bahamut to strike down their city made as a gate to the gods: Al'Taeiu. Shortly after this, Altana wept the five divine tears that turned into the races of Vana'diel. However, Promathia made sure that this time the races would be preoccupied with something else to stop them from opening the Gates of Paradise. So, he created the Beastmen to create eternal conflict between the great nations and people of Vana'diel. He was also reponsible for Raogrimm's transformation into the Shadow Lord. To complete his reign, Promathia seeks his own resurrection and death, an event that would cause every soul in Vana'diel to return to him as he dies. Through the efforts (some conscious and purposeful, some not) of those in the present day (during the Chains of Promathia storyline), he is resurrected. The person most responsible for this is Nag'molada who wished to know the truth of creation. Through a series of missions, the player may find a way to the Empyreal Paradox, where one finds the evil god himself. In this location, the player will witness memories of the birth of Vana'diel, and along with Prishe and Selh'teus, the adventurer must fight Promathia as the final boss of the expansion disc.
