"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.

Llymlaen, the Navigator
Nymeia, the Spinner
Oschon, the Wanderer
Azeyma, the Warden
Menphina, the Lover
Rhalgr, the Destroyer
Nophica, the Matron
Halone, the Fury
Byregot, the Builder
Thaliak, the Scholar
Nald'thal, the Trader
Althyk, the Keeper

Men are wont to suffer

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
