"The Twelve" are twelve benevolent deities of Eorzea who ruled the continent and its surrounding islands until the arrival of wandering tribes. Impressed by the resilience of the primitive settlers, each of the Twelve mercifully saw fit to ensure their welfare.
And forget wherein they've sinned
Ne'er hearkening back on tragedies past
Lest the Twelve might humble them
Thralls are they to sadness
As were their bygone kin
With bonds of woe athwart their breasts
And that which dwells within
Yet loved they are withal
No thoughts to wrath portend
For men are treasured by the Twelve
Whose mercy knows no end
