- (Encyclopaedia Eorzea II, page 193) I skimmed through the lorebook just now, but saw nothing else. Everything we know about Ompagne comes from a brief mention in the first lorebook (how he found young Brume orphan Fray plotting revenge for a friend’s death and so took the child in) or in game itself during the DRK quests in Heavensward.
- Square Enix is releasing a pair of in-depth lore books focused on its MMO Final Fantasy XIV.Dubbed Encyclopedia Eorzea - The World of Final Fantasy XIV, the hardcover books cover all things Eorzea.
This weekend's Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival featured some great exclusives—like the announcement of the new expansion, Stormblood—but one of the biggest hits of the took the form of Encyclopedia Eorzea, the official lore book for Square-Enix popular MMORPG. Enix is releasing a pair of in-depth lore books targeted on its MMO Ultimate Fantasy XIV. Dubbed Encyclopedia Eorzea - The World of Ultimate Fantasy XIV, The merchandise mentioned right here had been independently chosen by our editors.
This project is an effort to provide a textual resource… not unlike the Encyclopedia Eorzea – for those who prefer to get their lore by reading it – though that is not to say that visual resources will not be available. One important difference however is the method in which it is done. It is presented as the notes and excerpts from books of potentially many scholars – but foremost among them – The archon Niniri Niri. As such it will have both facts and theories.
Effort has been made to ensure that those things that are facts are rather explicited stated to be so. As the main writer of this content Aodhana (who is the above stated Niniri Niri) stated elsewhere “If it’s confirmed by the lore books or the game it’ll be presented as fact but if it’s my inference there’s usually some indication of it! It being presented as a theory, or use of the word ‘likely’ etc”.
You will also notice Etymology notes – they are quite obviously not in character but it was felt that having them there would add a little context particularly when inferences are made.
I, your Archivist and tech-wizard extraordinaire Isaudorel Lanverlais bid you welcome and hope you will continue to follow us on our journey to catalogue the stories of Eorzea and beyond.

2 months agoSo as the Archives expand our mission we’ve gone throughout the land to find the greatest of documentarians. In our search we came across quite the pair. We have found two amazing additions to our team. The esteemed Archons X’rett Tia and Elioaux Forgeraunt have kindly offered to document the world in formats that may better serve our more visual of learners. This does not mean that the textual focus of these archives will be lost merely that additional visual resources will be available.
Important to note: These videos will come from an in-universe perspective as well. So you may find that some of them do not represent the current understanding of things such as tempering. As the timeline of the Archives moves forward – so too shall the items at hand.This is for the benefit of new players who may be spoiled by having all the lore dumped on them at once.
