Paladia

The World of Paladia is a parallel setting to the world of Lapis in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. It is the homeworld of the Sworn Six of Paladia, Dark Fina, Raegen, Sakura, Aldore, Hess and others.

Profile
The world of Paladia seems to be significantly different in its geography than the world of Lapis, as when the main party explores the world (albeit in a memory world), none of the locations seemed to resemble those of Lapis in any way.

The world also seems to be sufficiently developed in magic and technology, possible equaling or surpassing those found in Lapis. Since some inhabitants from this world were transported into Lapis, it is possible that a handful of Lapis' cultural development is a result of these individuals.

Story
The world of Paladia used to be once a peaceful world. However the individual known as Hess attempted to explore Visionary Magicks and use it to claim independence from the rest of Paladia. But Aldore who believed in science, rejected Hess' ideals as Visionary Magick was thought to be dangerous, and with the two parties in disagreement, originated a nefarious war that split the world into two factions, those who followed Hess and those who followed Aldore. Dark Fina was loyal to Hess while the Sworn Six (known then as the Sworn Eight) were loyal to Aldore. The war took several casualties from both sides and many were not content with the status quo, but without the ability to find a peaceful solution.

Raegen and Sakura under the mantle of Veritas of the Dark and Light, respectively, resented the war and tries their best to try to end it soon so as to avoid further meaningless loss of life. Dark Fina known as the Demon of Hess was an infamous lieutenant of Hess and had a rivalry with Veritas of the Earth.

For undisclosed reasons, many of the inhabitants of this world, including the Sworn Eight, Dark Fina, Raegen, Sakura, along a handful of others as well as some locations (such as the Magic Library), were transported into the world of Lapis, leaving the status of the world of Paladia and the war unknown.

Raegen and Sakura deserted the Sworn Eight in favour of living peaceful lives in Lapis with others taking on their armors and replacing their roles and making it their goal to destroy Lapis by destroying the Crystals, scheming for 700 years while cultivating great resentment. Some within their ranks were lost or believed dead, so the group reformed as Six rather than Eight.

At the same time some lieutenants of Hess became lost as well with some as Dark Fina being sealed into Crystal and seemingly also deserting the war.

Whether the world of Paladia still exists or not and in what conditions is currently unknown.
