Orience

Orience is the world of Final Fantasy Type-0 and Final Fantasy Agito.

History
Orience is comprised of four nations that until recently had coexisted peacefully, each controlling a Crystal that grants them a unique power. However, the price that came from that power is memory loss: l'Cie chosen by the crystals lose most memory of who they were, while even those citizens of Orience who remain human are forced to forget those who have died.


 * Dominion of Rubrum: Rubrum controls the Vermilion Bird Crystal, which contains the power of magic. Its capital is Akademeia and its leader is Chancellor Khalia Chival VI. It is the home of Class Zero and is subsequently the protagonist nation of the game.
 * Militesi Empire: Milites controls the White Tiger Crystal, which contains the power of weapons. Its capital is Ingram and its leader is Imperial Marshal Cid Aulstyne. Cid took command after the disappearance of the previous emperor, and he uses the Crystal to develop advanced military technology in an attempt to conquer the other three nations and gain control of their crystals. As the Militesi Empire is responsible for instigating the war in Orience, they are considered to be the antagonist nation.
 * Lorican Alliance: Lorica controls the Black Tortoise Crystal, which contains the power of the shield with its inhabitants of larger size. Its capital is Lorica and its leader is King Gilgamesh Ashur. Early in the game, Lorica is annihilated by an Ultima Bomb deployed by Milites, leaving no survivors.
 * Kingdom of Concordia: Concordia controls the Azure Dragon Crystal, which contains the power of the dragon with its ruler able to communicate with the Dragon Queen. Its capital is Mahamayuri and its leader is Queen Andoria Kaya Tranka Fam Forturio. Following Andoria's assassination, an unnamed Concordian King becomes the new leader. Concordia was allied with Rubrum until Class Zero was framed for Andoria's assassination, after which the Concordian King takes full control of the nation and joins forces with Milites.

Trivia

 * The four crystals are named after the Japanese names of the four god animals representing the four cardinal directions in Chinese mythology, all of which have previously made appearances in Final Fantasy XI as Notorious Monsters, and in Final Fantasy XII as four bosses at the Pharos, albeit with different names.
 * Some location names on the world map are written in Pulse writing.
