Lemurés



Lemurés (レムレース Remurēsu) is a legendary Purvama in Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, raised into the skies by the god Feolthanos long ago. This land is ruled by a magical stone known as the Sacred Crystal, which erected a barrier to shield the Purvama from the rest of the world. In time, the Legend of the Floating Land became an ambition for Sky Pirates who sought the island and the riches of legend that it held. The ruins of Lemurés are where the Aegyl reside. Due to being shielded within Lemurés, the Aegyl have no knowledge of the outside world.

The Magicite in Lemurés are found as Auracite and Cloudstones. Auracite pieces are used in the Ring of Pacts to summon Yarhi, while Cloudstones are known to raise the floating sky continents.

Zephyr is the island the Aegyl live on. Mostly covered in ruins, a lot of sky pirates are now exploring the area for treasures. Vaan finds Llyud here, injured after some Antlions attacked him. Deep in the ruins is a large deposit of Auracite.

It is said that this island shelters abundant resources, which explains why the pirates of the sky are interested in it so much.

The home of the Yarhi. Vaan and co. are sent here after the second Auralith is destroyed by Balthier. Here, Vaan is confronted by illusions that remind him of his devotion to his friends. After the party is reunited following an encounter with Yarhi in The Neverwood, Velis appears to them and is trasformed into the Esper Odin by the warping of the Judge of Wings. After his defeat, he tells the party of the true nature of the Auracite before dissolving into the godblade Anastasia. The party then wakes up from their "dream trip" and find themselves in the Sky Saloon of the Galbana.
