The twelve

The Twelve are the Eorzean patheon of gods, considered primarily benevolent by the realm's citizens. In the most common myths, these gods were created by Hydaelyn and were directly involved in the affairs of realm until the arrival of the wandering tribes. At that time, something happened that caused the Twelve to remove themselves from the natural world- for good or ill. They are believed to be rivals or enemies of the Primals which are worshiped by the Beast Tribes.

Religious worship of The Twelve among the common citizreny tends to be somewhat personal and informal. Individual families and communities generally have their own religious customs. In addition, there are a number of annual holidays and festivals in the Eorzean Alliance, some of which are in homage to The Twelve.

The Twelve have a family tree and each has an affinity with one of the six elements and is associated with a month in the Eorzean calendar. It is up to each GM to decide how much direct influence- and the consequences for the players and the realm- the Twelve will have in their individual chronicle.
