FFT0 Rubrum Region

Rubrum Region, at the entrance to Akademeia.

Rubrum Region (ルブルム地方, Ruburumu Chihō?) is an area in the world of Orience in Final Fantasy Type-0, south of Togoreth Region. It is the area of Dominion of Rubrum. The area is mostly grassy plains and forests, with some towns scattered here and there.

Story[]

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Akademeia and the Vermilion Peristylium therein are located in Rubrum Region. Before the Dominion of Rubrum was officially formed, Rubrum was but one of the areas sharing similar ideological principles, alongside the areas of Togoreth, Iscah and Eibon. After Akademeia was attacked by monsters, and the attack only quelled by the Vermilion Bird Crystal's l'Cie, Akademeia was established as the official seat of power uniting the areas of Rubrum, Togoreth, Iscah and Eibon as the Dominion of Rubrum, with the dominion being named after the Rubrum Region as Akademeia was situated in this area.

The Militesi Empire invades Rubrum Region after Cid Aulstyne breaks the Pax Codex and deploys l'Cie to war. The third and final phase of the initial campaign involved deploying a fleet of dreadnoughts to infiltrate the dominion's central and eastern regions. The empire had to transport personnel and MAs via airship and anticipated an unrelenting local resistance, but the Rubrum legionaries fled to defending Akademeia from capture, and the empire took over the central and eastern regions of the dominion unimpeded.

Dominion Central Command employs the newly conscripted Agito Cadets in the liberation of McTighe, a town on the outskirts of Akademeia, to secure base for offensive operations, test the cadets' skills in the field, and gauge the empire's reaction. The regrouped dominion legions establish a base of operations at McTighe, and initiate a large-scale offensive to reclaim the Rubrum Region by deploying the recently conscripted cadets.
