Welcome to the Pseudepigrapha Hydaelyn

an ongoing effort to compile and archive free access pages containing the lore and story behind the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, as the game continues to update and invite players to travel to various locations unique to its planet, known by the name of Hydaelyn.  

You who would bring the light of hope to Hydaelyn... You who would heed the whisperings of the aetheryte and take up the mantle of "adventurer." This is your journey—a new tale to echo down the ages.

  The MMORPG picks up the narrative from the original Final Fantasy XIV (also known as 1.0) at the eve of the 5th anniversary of the Seventh Umbral Calamity, a catastrophic event that ended the original game's story. In the beginning, you play as one of several Adventurer characters who travel to the city-states in seek of employment as they fund their expeditions into territory ordinarily off-limits to the average city-dweller. In this act, you come across several inexplicable events that set your character to become more than just a thrill-seeking freelancer, gaining an appointment from the planet itself to become her defender.
