The Ananta are a race of lamia-like Beastmen in Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood. They are indigenous to the mountains near Ala Mhigo and are solely female.
Their affiliated primal is Lakshmi, the Lady of Bliss, whom they worship as a creator goddess.
Profile
The Ananta are said to have existed since the time of ancient Allag, and are known for their skill in spell and gemcraft. They are divided by two sister tribes: the Vira who see Lakshmi as an embodiment of freedom and the Qalyana who consider their goddess to personify transcending beauty which they emulate while ignoring everything else around them. In current times, the Ananta are oppressed by the Garleans since the annexation of Gyr Abania with the Vira aligning themselves with the Ala Mhigan Resistance. The Qalyana, wanting to be left alone, sided with the Empire. But the prejudicial actions of Fordola rem Lupis resided in the death of the Qalyana broodmother's daughter with the Qalyana having isolated themselves soon after.
