Welcome to Gaia! ::

When most people think of Role-Playing Games you find on the various video game consoles such as the Sony Playstation, the Sega Genesis, the Super Nintendo, and other such consoles; They think of games like Final Fantasy VII or Lunar: Silver Star Story. Games where the characters go on perilous quests of self-discovery & such where the good guys stand on one side and the monster & bad guys stand on the other. And from there they start whacking at each other with weapons or magic until the other side dies.

But not all console RPGs are like that. Buried among the standard RPGs is the sub-genre known as "Strategy RPGs". Games such as Final Fantasy Tactics, Shining Force, Tactics Ogre, Brigadine, Kartia, etc. Unlike other RPGs, you tend to control a small group of characters (5-10 units) and proceed to attempt fighting a similar armed group of opponents. The difference is you can employ different tactics aside from the attack, defend, or magic. You could let your opponents come to you, attack from their flanks or back, use terrain to your advantage, or decide to either attack from a distance with archers or get up close & personal.

This system, the Final Fantasy Tactics System or FFTS, is heavily based on the job system used by what some consider the best of the Final Fantasy game line, Final Fantasy Tactics. In FFT, you could move your units around the battlefield using the terrain and different tactics to your advantage over your enemies. While the game retains the classic "feel" of the FF series with wizards, priests, moogles, and chocobos, FFT was its own beast. Like FFT, players using the FF Tactics System play the role of a character and as the character goes into more battles, they can learn new job skills and use them in whatever fashion they wish.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Role-Playing (or FFTRPG) is in fact two game systems. The first is based on the Returner Final Fantasy RPG. The other is an experiment for the Fuzion RPG system by R. Talsorian Games and Hero Games. While there are differences between the two systems, the idea is essentially the same: You control a character who can train in a variety of different jobs to learn different abilities to use. The two game systems are offered for those that want something different. The Returner version (also referred to as the "classic" version) is still available for those that prefer the Returner system or have been using it. The Fuzion version is newer, more simple, and can be jumped into easily. There are some very notable differences such as a completely new weapon and armor list as well

The original Final Fantasy Tactics Job System was developed by David Huber, Jeff Taft, and Robert Pool with special thanks to Smith and Matt Bateman for morale support and occassional ideas. The FF Tactics System was written/re-organized by Robert Pool.

Kingdom of Ordalia

Capital: Moreve Royal Capital
Government type: Feudal Monarchy
Rulers: King Lanard IV
Population: 897,000
Military Strength: 79,000
Primary Trading Partners: Romanda
Economy: Weak

The Kingdom of Ordalia is a nation that has been beset by a long war and left unstable as a result. Despite the victory of the war, Ordalia suffered greatly, especially in the Zelamonia province. As a result, the economy is weak and the Kingdom's political situation is vastly unstable.

Ordalia can be divided up into six different provinces. The province of Zelamonia is situated on the western border with Ivalice, bordering on the Ivalician province of Zeltennia. To the east of Zelamonia is the largest province, the Lyons Province. It is home of the capital and roughly one-third of all of the noble houses. To the north and south of Lyons are the Kyllione and Henivue provinces, respectively. Kyllione's eastern border ends with the Eastern Sea. Hevinue is a long, narrow province that snakes from the end of Zelamonia, across Lyons, and then ends at the province east of Lyons, the Juareso province. Juareso is the second largest province, and like Kyllione, its eastern border is on the Eastern Sea. Finally, south of Hevinue is the Rivura Province, a small region which is surrounded on three sides by ocean and on the fourth, the Hevinue province.

The economy of Ordalia can be divided up by the provinces. Zelamonia produces almost nothing, though it was once an important agricultural province. Most of its fields and farms were destroyed in the Fifty Years War. Lyons has two trade cities and the capital, and primarily is responsible for trading, though it also has many fields in the countryside. Kyllione is situated in the Brivesua Mountains and their foothills, and occupy a region rich in many minerals, making mining a primary industry there. Henivue is primarily a trading province as well, though it also has some copper mining in the hills in its eastern portions. Juareso is mainly an agricultural region and the breadbasket of Ordalia. Rivura is a vineyard-rich province and the home of the summer homes of the wealthy.

The Fifty Years War wrought an unforeseen amount of destruction upon Ordalia and Zelamonia in specific. The war was fought primarily in Zelamonia, and the front lines varied as victories for the Ivalician and Ordalian forces pushed the front back and forth. After King Valowan of Ordalia died, King Lanard pushed the front from Zelamonia and into Zeltennia, where the war was fought for its remaining twelve years. King Omdolia of Ivalice was unable to push out the Ordalian forces, led by Lanard himself. Lanard, however, made several tactical errors that kept him from gaining full dominion over the Ivalician province, and allowed the Hokuten and Nanten to score several impressive victories. Finally, Omdolia and Lanard made a peace agreement. Though it was bilateral, Ordalia was regarded as the victor and imposed reparations upon Ivalice.

The Ordalian soldiers began to leave Zeltennia, as per the peace agreement. Along the way, the Firewall Elite, the best squadron of Ordalia's soldiers, disappeared. The nobles turned to the war, and looked over Lanard's and Valowan's record. They did not like what they saw.

The agreement amongst roughly half of the noble houses was that the failure to achieve a more complete victory in the war came was the fault of the Crown and the incompetence of the King. Lanard was given a choice: he would either agree to sharing command of the military with the nobles and Church, or face a full rebellion. He chose to share command. To put this agreement on paper, a pact was signed in the city of Breveau, in the Hevinue province.

The Breveau Pact ended up splitting the military into two factions: the forces of the Crown and the forces of the nobles and Church, which are often called the Breveau Pact. Both sides now worry more about the day when they will come to blows with the other, and rebuilding the Kingdom has come to a halt as this new war seems to be ready to break out at any time. The economy of the nation is at a standstill, and like Ivalice, many people are turning to becoming bandits and thieves for a living.

Natural Landmarks

The Stoneline Hills: The Stoneline Hills are near the border with Ivalice in Zelamonia. They are a set of hills with natural rock outcroppings which were used as a natural fortress by both sides in the Fifty Years War.

Lake Janissery: Lake Janissery is situated in western Zelamonia, and has been renowned by soldiers in the Fifty Years War as a mystical place. There are numerous tales of its waters providing healing to those who bathe in them.

Thurger Woods: Thurger Woods are inside the Lyons province, and have a major road, which stretches through them. The woods have become the home of numerous bandits and are generally seen as unsafe for travel.

Mount Glabadine: Mount Glabadine is only six miles from the limits of the capital, and is famed as a place from which Saint Ajora once gave a speech. It is regarded as a holy site, and has a small monastery placed upon it.

Dynis Plains: Dynis Plains are a rolling set of plains in the eastern portion of the Lyons province. They are known for not being flat, but actually rather wavy, making travelling over them difficult and allowing bandits and thieves to hide rather easily.

Myskod Wood: These woods in Kyllione are often seen as a cursed place and generally avoided by most people. Something has made all of the trees here die, and their twisted corpses still stand. It is also rumored that the ground is poisonous.

Vabnok Crags: This set of mountains is insanely steep and form a complete wall around the city of Vabnok. They are treacherously hard to pass and have protected the city many times in the past.

Brivesua Mountains: These mountains start in Kyllione and end at the Eastern Sea. They are particularly rich in iron and other ores, and several towns are situated in them to access their ore.

Dymod Caverns: The Dymod Caverns are high in the Brivesua Mountains on a peak that is notoriously hard to reach. The Dymod Caverns are several levels of deadly caves, and are rumored to have been made when Lucavi first rose in the Age of Myth. It is said that in the deepest depths of the caverns, fresh magma bubbles from the ground.

Chocobop Plains: These plains, in the relatively flat Juareso province, are said to be the original plains of the chocobos by several folk songs. They do have herds of wild chocobos, and not all are friendly.

Reauve Mire: Reauve Mire is in Rivura, and the only notable natural landmark in the province. It has peat moss, which is used as some small industry by the inhabitants of the Rivura province, but is also known for having crocodiles.

Important People of Note

King Lanard IV de'Yarves of Ordalia: Lanard has led Ordalia for sixteen years. He began his rule in the Fifty Years War, with the death of his father, King Valowan. He is only a fair general, and while he managed to push the forces of Ivalice out of his country, he failed to successfully take much of the country. He also lost the Firewall Elite, which is arguably his greatest failure. Now Lanard is a brooding, concerned man. His power has been reduced by the Breveau Pact, and he fears that the nobles may decide to remove him from the throne in favor of another of their number.

Lanard is also a powerful warrior, and often led the soldiers of Ordalia by fighting at their side. He is now forty-eight years old, and is beginning to lose his edge due to age. He watched the Lion War unfold with great concern. His throne is backed by the might of Romanda, but he fears that war could unfold between the forces of the Crown and supporters of the Breveau Pact. He now awaits the day that he will ride once more into battle, but this time against his own people.

Queen Leana de'Yarves of Ordalia: Leana has stood loyally at her husband's side through the end of the Fifty Years War and through the chaos of the Breveau Pact, but it is well known she is having her doubts now. Leana seems determined to curb a war from occurring in Ordalia, and struggles to keep both sides cool. Her husband and his ministers dismiss her efforts as futile.

Dauphin Launce de'Yarves of Ordalia: Launce is the pride of his father's life and a truly strong and intelligent lad. He has shown himself to be a capable warrior and officer, and seems ready to lead Ordalia. He will certainly surpass his father in skill. However, his father is trying to make sure he will have a throne to lead from.

Sir Charles de'Yarves: Sir de'Yarves is renowned as a powerful Holy Knight and the head of the Royal Knights of Ordalia. He leads the High Order, and is a capable general and a person of great integrity. He is also unwaveringly loyal to the King, and spoke out quite violently against the signing of the Breveau Pact. He is also the King's cousin.

Lord Captain Sebastian de'Yarves: Lord Captain Sebastian is the leader of the Crown Guard and a nephew of the King. He is a veteran of the Fifty Years War, and a master of defensive strategy. He is also known to be of questionable character when it comes to his faithfulness to his wife.

Lord Admiral Vernon de'Yarves: The Lord Admiral of the Royal Navy is as close as Ordalia has to a naval genius. He has managed to keep the Royal Navy respectable with the reduction of funds available as a result of the economic depression caused by the Fifty Years War.

Miron Guaster: Miron Guaster is head of the Order of the Dauphin, and he is not a public man. He is also not related to the King and is a commoner. Nothing else is known, and he is never seen in public. A variety of tales about him are in the rumor mill, ranging from him being a reincarnated Saint Ajora to him being a heretic.

Archbishop Johan Gibbs: Archbishop Gibbs is the mastermind behind the Breveau Pact, and has preached that the Crown's power must be reduced for the sake of Ordalia and Saint Ajora. This also happens to result in an increase in his own personal power.

Alric Duarten: Alric Duarten was the leader of the Firewall Elite in the war, and is said to have been a wandering swordsman that learned his abilities from a variety of sources before founding the Firewall Elite. He disappeared with his squadron at the end of the Fifty Years War and has not been seen since.

Military structure of Ordalia

The Palace Guard
The City Guard
The Order of the Dauphin
The Royal Navy
The Breveau Pact
The Pact Legion
The Command Battalion
The Provincial Battalions
The Legions of the Noble Houses
- The Firewall Elite*

The High Command Council: The High Command Council was created in the last eight years of the Fifty Years War to try and unify the Ordalian military. Prior to its creation, the Ordalian military was horrendously divided into over twenty separate forces which only had the King and his top advisers to coordinate them. The Command Council only marginally improved the situation, however, as their control did not spread from the war room to the battlefield at any rate that could truly change the outcome of the war. The High Command Council, however, was not discarded with the signing of the Breveau Pact. It was instead changed so those three branches would compose the decisions over the Ordalian military. The first was the Crown, reduced in power by the Breveau Pact, but still a respectable force of military might. The second was the elected leaders of the Breveau noble lineages. The third was in name only: the legendary Firewall Elite, who disappeared at the end of the Fifty Years War. The High Command Council has the leaders of the two present factions all have a single vote in the Command Council.

The Crown: The royal line of Ordalia is an ancient household, which shares ties with the Romandan royal house. It is a family hardened by tradition and warfare; many of the men of royal descent are accomplished warriors and are the leaders of the soldiers under the crown, and formerly, the entire military of Ordalia. Members of the royal family head all branches of the military under the Crown.

The Royal Knights of Ordalia: The Royal Knights of Ordalia are the elite chocobo-mounted warriors of the Kingdom. They are all trained fighters and in the Fifty Years War, they held the most decorated units on the Ordalian side besides the Firewall Elite. They are divided into the High Order and the Provincial Orders. The High Order is an elite unit that serves as the elite cavalry of the entire Kingdom of Ordalia. The Provincial Orders are assigned to provinces and only leave them in times of war or emergencies.

The Crown Guard: The Crown Guard is an infantry force trained in the defense of cities and important palaces. They are a well trained force, but are not overly large, especially when compared to the legions of the noble houses. They are divided into the Ceremonial Parade, Palace Guard, and the City Guard. The Ceremonial Parade is the standard parade soldiers in the entire Ordalian military. They are not a combat force, but are composed of veterans and a goal for all soldiers retiring from active duty. The Palace Guard is the group of soldiers that is one of the best trained in all of Ordalia and meant to protect the royal palace in Moreve. They are very few in numbers, but are among the most experienced and well trained soldiers in the world. The City Guard forms the main body of the Crown Guard and composes the central defense of Ordalia's great cities.

The Order of the Dauphin: The Order of the Dauphin is a force that is officially a group of volunteers that supports the Crown. Unofficially, they are the soldiers that fight internal threats against the Crown. The Order of the Dauphin is a cross between a secret police, intelligence agency, terrorists, and mob of fanatics. They are responsible for subtly attacking the noble houses through an arsenal of questionable methods. Their unofficial war has stayed just that, unofficial, so far. Members of the Order of the Dauphin, or Dauphinites, can be identified by a tattoo of a crowned raven on the small of their backs.

The Royal Navy: The Royal Navy has managed to stay entirely under the command of the Crown, mostly because of the fact that maintaining a navy is beyond the economic reach of the noble houses.

The Breveau Pact: The Breveau Pact, signed in the city of Breveau a year after the end of the Fifty Years War, marked the end of royal domination over the military. It was also a major domestic victory for the noble houses and the Fara Clergy. The noble houses and Church made an attempt to unite their combined militaries and create a major force in the nation. The union has only partially worked; the Church and a few of the major houses are responsible for leading it, and the remaining noble houses offer varying degrees of cooperation. Some give their full support, while most provide when asked for. Some provide the minimum amounts needed. A few noble houses are also supportive of the Crown, and a few are even separate from both.

The Pact Legion: The main body of the Breveau Pact is the Pact Legion. The Pact Legion is made of combat infantry and cavalry that ascend above divisions amongst the houses. Two-thirds of the Pact Legion is made of the soldiers of the Fara Clergy, which were fully integrated into it. The rest come from the noble houses. The Pact Legion is led by the Command Battalion, which is responsible for aiding and leading the Battalion placed in each province.

The Legions of the Noble Houses: The main body of the entire military of Ordalia is in the legions of the noble houses. These units are divided up not by territory, but by the nobles. Neither is equal, but all include infantry and cavalry. They are not spread out equally over Ordalia, mostly concentrated in the highly populated heartland of the Kingdom. This leaves the countryside all too open to attack, and left it vulnerable to attack by the forces of Ivalice in the Fifty Years War. The Noble Legions side with whoever their lord does in regards to the idea of a civil war, and the forces of the nobles will be the main combat unit of both sides, with the Breveau Pact having slightly more than the Crown.

The Firewall Elite: The Firewall Elite was once the most feared unit in all of Ordalia, composed of the most powerful warriors in all of the Kingdom. They were the most effective Ordalian squadron in the Fifty Years War, rivaling the Hokuten and Nanten. They were not made or led by a noble or member of the royal family, but by civilians. After the war, however, the Firewall Elite never returned home from the front lines. This has left the Crown, who they were loyal to, vulnerable, and hurt the moral of the country as a whole. The rumors of their whereabouts and fate are numerous.

Mercenaries: Mercenaries have risen in number since the Fifty Years War, from both former soldiers and people of war-torn lands with little recourse. The Crown and Breveau Pact have both began to hire recently, for what seems to be an inevitable war.

Cities of Ordalia

Moreve Royal Capital

Government: Monarchy
Mayor: Lord Mayor Sinard Clevau
Population: 9,500
Military: 600 Militia, 700 Royal Knights (300 High Order, 400 Lyons Order), 400 Palace Guard, 600 City Guard
900 Dauphinites, 1000 Noble Legionnaires
Province: Lyons
Crime Rate: Moderate

Moreve is the largest city in Ordalia, with an astounding population of approximately 9500 citizens and thousands of transients at any given time. It is also one of the most important cities on Pheisias, serving not only as the capital of Ordalia and the center of political life in the Kingdom, but as the center of several primary trading routes.

The city has a fairly low crime rate considering the current state of Ordalia, as the militia and Crown Guard have little tolerance for much of anything so near the King and his family. However, crime is on the rise as unrest and riots force these defenders to deal with more pressing dangers and allow the smaller crimes to go unnoticed and, too often, unpunished.

The city is a sprawl of narrow streets and two and three story buildings. These streets can easily confuse a traveller, as they wind through the city in a strange and unorganized fashion. There are also sewers below these streets, but they are also unorganized and dangerous, as thieves have made them their own covert way of transportation. In the center of the city rises the Royal Palace, home of King Lanard and the royal family.

Nalseau Fort City

Government: Military Dictatorship
Mayor: General Stuart Gibralten
Population: 800
Military: 100 Militia, 300 City Guard, 400 Dauphinites, 500 Noble Legionnaires
Province: Lyons
Crime Rate: Low

Nalseau is an overgrown fort city that was made for the purpose of serving as the front line defense of Ordalia upon its conception, when it only consisted of Lyons. Despite the fact it is too far into the country to really protect anything and only serves as a base against bandits, it remains under military dictatorship. Nalseau, however, may be reactivated in the event of a civil war: it is near the capital and its commanding officer, General Gibralten, is a supporter of the Crown.

Nalseau has a very low crime rate, as General Gibralten generally responds to crime swiftly and harshly. It also has little trade of any note and what trade does exist is military related.

Nalseau is a cluster of homes and businesses that are on the north and east walls of a massive fortress that was the original namesake of the city. The fortress can easily hold the entire city's population if need be.

Talore Trade City

Government: Monarchy
Mayor: Lord Pierre Rossa
Population: 2,300
Military: 300 Militia, 300 City Guard, 150 Dauphinites, 400 Lyons Legionnaires, 500 Noble Legionnaires
Province: Lyons
Crime Rate: Somewhat High

Talore is situated in the northeastern part of Lyons, sitting along a main trade route with both Kyllione and Juareso. It also is an important watering hole for caravans headed towards Moreve. It is the second most important trading city in all of Ordalia, though it is not the largest.

Talore is looked over by Lord Pierre Rossa. The House of Rossa is very important to the grand scheme of things in the trade city, but it also shares the city with four other noble houses: Ruan, Oftven, de'Reine, and Merele. The five houses of Talore are renowned for their squabbling. If a war breaks out, Rossa and Merele will side with the Crown while the rest will go with the Breveau Pact. The current state of Ordalia has made crime and such rise.

Talore is similar to Moreve, with narrow buildings and streets. A river runs through the middle of it, and a small island in the middle of the city holds the manor of the House of Rossa. Around this island is the wealthy district, and where the other manors are placed. The trade city steadily declines in wealth, safety, and appearance from the central island.

Zykrau Magic City

Government: Mages' Council
Mayor: High Elder Vazerdien
Population: 1,200
Military: 100 Militia, 200 City Guard, 100 Mages, 200 Noble Legionnaires
Province: Lyons
Crime Rate: High

Zykrau Magic City is the premier training place of mages in Ordalia, and where any respectable Ordalian magic user will go to learn his abilities. It sits off of the main roads and it prefers to remain rather isolated from the rest of the kingdom. This is because a great deal of magical experiments occur here, and the isolation can protect the rest of the country in an emergency.

Zykrau suffers from a great deal of mismanagement. The Mages' Council, which rules the city, is not only responsible for running the city, but also the magic college situated there. The college is their main concern, and the rest of the city falls into the hands of the all too small militia. This means that crime is rampant except in the college and Zykrau's streets are all too unsafe.

The city can best be divided into two areas. The eastern region holds the college and the homes of teachers and students. The western region is made up of slums.

Vabnok Machine City

Government: None
Mayor: None
Population: Varies, always under 200
Military: Usually none
Province: Kyllione
Crime Rate: Anarchy

Vabnok seems to be a cursed city. It was originally discovered two decades into the Fifty Years War and seemed to be a wealth of machinery and technology that could be used against Ivalice. Massive efforts went underway to unearth the city, revealing shattered and warped buildings of metal and glass and great technology.

It was six years into the excavation that the curse of the city became clear. Mages never liked the location and picked up some strange detections, similar to those that resulted from use of a Flare spell, but much higher. Children born in the city were often misshaped or stillborn. The hair fell out of longtime residence. Strange cancers were rampant in the population. Vabnok was abandoned.

Today, it is populated by transients searching for relics of the past and criminals. Most stay no longer than a month, fearful of getting whatever curse hangs over the city of Vabnok.

Maltyre Trade City

Government: Monarchy
Mayor: Lord Siegfried Kyreau
Population: 1,600
Military: 300 Militia, 300 Royal Knights (Kyllione Order), 400 City Guard, 800 Kyllione Legionnaires
700 Noble Legionnaires
Province: Kyllione
Crime Rate: Somewhat High

Maltyre is perhaps the most important city in the entire Kyllione province, and certainly the largest. It lies on a trade route with the road that leads into Lyons, and is surrounded by the Myskod Wood. All of the ore mined in Chyrele comes through Maltyre before going to various destinations in Ordalia. It also serves as the capital of the province of Kyllione.

Maltyre is controlled entirely by the House of Kyreau, who are fierce supporters of the Breveau Pact. The Kyreau family has turned its attention towards a possible war with the Crown, which they see as inevitable, and are raising troops and supplies for such a war. Crime has spread into the city from Ordalia's instability and has made it, like much of the country, entirely unstable.

Maltyre hugs the large road that heads through the center of the city, being rather long but not of considerable width. A fortress in the eastern part of the city serves as the capital for the entire Kyllione province. The Kyreau Manor lies outside of town slightly, but is still easily protected by the city's military.

Chyrele Mining City

Government: Dictatorship
Mayor: Guildmaster Uvos Marvienne
Population: 700
Military: 300 Militia, 400 City Guard, 200 Kyllione Legionnaires
Province: Kyllione
Crime Rate: Low

Chyrele is the primary mining city in all of the Brivesua Mountains, and serves as the base for numerous mining operations. A single road leads from it towards Maltyre, though it has many mountain paths leading to various mines and such.

The mining city is under the control of Guildmaster Uvos Marvienne, the leader of the mining guild, and is completely neutral in the affairs of the Crown. Uvos has a penchant for being very mercenary, and is known for only answering to money. He sees the upcoming war as profitable. He also keeps a tight hand on the city and has kept crime to a minimum through military means.

Chyrele is spread out in the Brivesua Mountains, with rocky outcroppings preventing it from having much organization. The quality of life is spartan for the miners. Uvos would not have it any other way.

Yudesto Port City

Government: Monarchy
Mayor: Lord Jugas Wervenne
Population: 800
Military: 100 Militia, 200 City Guard, 400 Dauphinites, 20 Royal Navy Ships, 800 Noble Legionnaires
Province: Kyllione
Crime Rate: Moderate

Yudesto is the only port in Kyllione, and a fairly small city but of some importance, as it is the main sea route to Romanda. It is under the strict control of the Crown, and the main naval stronghold of Lord Admiral de'Yarves.

Yudesto is under the rule of Lord Jugas Wervenne, who is a second cousin to the King and makes sure it is always loyal to the Crown. In the event of war, he knows that his city will be a target and is fortifying it for such.

Yudesto is wrapped around tightly by walls, which also reach out into the sea to help protect it from disastrous storms and sea monsters. The city is composed mostly of smaller buildings and wide roads for easy travel.

Breveau Pact City

Government: Council
Mayor: The Great Congress
Population: 5,700
Military: 500 Militia, 300 Royal Knights (Hevinue Order), 500 City Guard, 10 Royal Navy Ships, 600 Command Legionnaires, 500 Hevinue Legionnaires, 900 Noble Legionnaires
Province: Hevinue
Crime Rate: Somewhat Low

Breveau is second to the royal capital at Moreve in fame inside Ordalia. It was not always this way, however. At one time, Breveau was a city that served as a minor trading area and fell under the rule of a minor noble house. The only notable structure was the great Breveau Palace, which was built by the local lord. After the Fifty Years War, however, it was the site of the signing of a pact that later carried its name. Since then, it has become a secondary capital and is the full capital of Hevinue. It is also a naval base and has a small (but growing) port.

The city is a shining new example for the rest of the Kingdom and the fastest growing and safest (for its relative size). Three-fourths of the buildings are new and the people profit from the city's fame and trade. A dedicated militia keeps crime down to a rare degree compared to the rest of Ordalia.

The center of Breveau is the Breveau Palace, a massive expanse of wealth and grandeur. It is where the Great Congress of the Breveau Pact convenes, and the capitol building of the Hevinue Province. From here, narrow streets and buildings typical of Ordalian architecture stretch out. New buildings are always being added on the outskirts of the city. Breveau also has a decent port.

Gaberond Mining City

Government: Monarchy
Mayor: Lord Jyver Keau
Population: 300
Military: 50 Militia, 75 City Guard, 40 Dauphinites, 100 Hevinue Legionnaires, 150 Noble Legionnaires
Province: Hevinue
Crime Rate: Somewhat High

Gaberond is the second city in Hevinue, and the only city truly of much note. It occupies the eastern edge of the Stoneline Hills. It mines some iron, though not nearly as much as Chyrele, and not enough to solely provide for any faction in a war.

Gaberond is divided into three factions. Lord Keau is old and nearing the end of his life, and has two twin sons as his heirs. Who will succeed is unknown yet. Baiver Keau is a stout loyalist to the Crown, while Tinzer Keau is loyal to the Breveau Pact. In addition, Lord Jyver's youngest brother, Siumar Keau, is an important member of the mining guild and would like Gaberond to fall into its jurisdiction. When and if war breaks out, Gaberond will most likely be a site of battle rather than a supplier.

Gaberond sprawls amongst the foothills, and spreads as the mines grow, thus making it one of the most spread out cities in all of Ordalia. Earlier mines are even inside the actual city proper, some of which are still used.

Revour Trade City

Government: Council
Mayor: Headmaster Jenvus Gerlande
Population: 1,800
Military: 300 Militia, 300 Royal Knights (Rivura Order), 300 City Guard, 15 Royal Navy Ships, 650 Rivura Legionnaires, 1,200 Noble legionnaires
Province: Rivura
Crime Rate: Moderate

Revour is in the wet interior of Rivura, the resort province of Ordalia. It is also the only city, placed along the coast and with many roads leading to the numerous manors and villas in Rivura. It is a trading center for both the Kingdom and the local area. It is also the closest that Rivura has to a capital.

Headmaster Jenvus Gerlande is the man who makes sure Revour says a safe place for the many noble visitors to the city. He has outlawed duels and feuding and is careful to maintain a cap on crime. He is backed by the Breveau Pact in full.

Revour is placed on the eastern coast of the Rivura province, and is built in a semi-circular format along the coast. The harbor is one of the best in the Kingdom and a primary port for the navy. The entire town is clean and picturesque. Beyond it, in the Rivuran countryside, are the manors and villas of the nobility.

Huavire Castle City

Government: Monarchy
Mayor: Lady Cilene Kalitra
Population: 3,200
Military: 400 Militia, 300 Royal Knights (Juareso Order), 300 City Guard, 800 Juareso Legionnaires,
900 Noble Legionnaires
Province: Juareso
Crime Rate: Somewhat High

Huavire Castle is the oldest castle in all of Ordalia, built several centuries ago in a period long forgotten to rule over a small nation that took up roughly a fourth of the province. It has a large city around it now, and serves as the capital of Juareso as well as a major trading city and port.

Huavire is ruled by Lady Cilene Kalitra, a legendary woman who is one of the key founders of the Breveau Pact. She rules over Huavire and most of Juareso, and will no doubt support any attempt against the Crown. She is responsible for Juareso being the stronghold of anti-Crown sentiment.

Huavire is built in the old style, like Moreve, and entirely around the magnificent castle. It has a large port and is a major naval center, as well as a trade crossroads in the province.

Rovisonde Port City

Government: Monarchy
Mayor: Lord Quiren Mylure
Population: 1,300
Military: 200 Militia, 250 City Guard, 20 Royal Navy Ships, 300 Juareso Legionnaires, 400 Noble Legionnaires
Province: Juareso
Crime Rate: Somewhat High

Rovisonde is upon the eastern coast, and a smaller port, but one which lays near the south to help protect the southern coasts. It is also a fairly important trade center and another stronghold of the Breveau Pact.

Rovisonde is ruled by Lord Mylure in name only; he in fact answers to Lady Kalitra of Huavire, who mostly oversees the city as well and keeps it as a strategic naval striking point in the event of a war, and part of her plan to stop Lord Admiral de'Yarves from having the complete upper hand at sea.

Rovisonde is built around the natural harbor in the city, with traditional architecture. It has major roads leading both to Moreve and Huarive.

Cura Fort City

Government: Monarchy
Mayor: Prince Tyll de'Yarves
Population: 2,100
Military: 400 Militia, 200 Royal Knights (Zelamonia Order), 400 City Guard, 600 Dauphinites, 800 Noble Legionnaires
Province: Zelamonia
Crime Rate: High
Nifty Note: Cura is the only Ordalia city named in the e-game.

Cura is the main city of Zelamonia and the capital of the great province, as well as the site of a major battle in the Fifty Years War. It has also been the capital of Zelamonia when it was a nation. Cura is now a major trade center, if such can exist in the ruined province of Zelamonia.

Prince Tyll de'Yarves is the ruler of Cura and the nephew of the King. He keeps Cura as a stronghold of support for the Crown. This is vital to the Crown; many of Cura's soldiers are veterans of the Fifty Years War. They are kept fresh by efforts to fight bandits inside Zelamonia.

Cura is built with tall buildings and narrow streets much like other cities in Ordalia, but it also features some Ivalician architecture; a direct result of acculturation in the Fifty Years War.

Inireau Border City

Government: Dictatorship
Mayor: Lieutenant Colonel Louis Vyrunne
Population: 900
Military: 100 Militia, 200 City Guard, 500 Noble Legionnaires
Province: Zelamonia
Crime Rate: Somewhat High

Inireau is a forgotten outpost from the Fifty Years War, which was once the headquarters of the Ordalian invasion of Ivalice. Inireau was abandoned after the Fifty Years War, left with some soldiers and a few of the peasants of the devastated Zelamonia countryside. It has become a den of crime and antiquity since then.

Inireau is loosely controlled by Lieutenant Colonel Louis Vyrunne, who keeps the city from falling to bandits. He also has started serving as a mercenary for the Breveau Pact, seeing no reason to support the Crown.

Inireau is just on the border with Zeltennia in Ivalice, and has a small road leading to it from the Ivalician province. Inireau is mostly ignored by both countries and recieves little trade from anywhere.

FFT Location Descriptions

-------------------------



This post includes all the descriptions of every battle site and

town in the game taken from it by myself through scribbling them all

down. They are not meant to be full descriptions of all the locations

in the but should give Mindyme a place to start when she starts doing

townbattle site descriptions.



The continent of Ivalice is split up into four providences:

Gallione, Lesalia, Lionel, and Zeltenia. Each providence is

maintained by Duke who then answers to the King of Ivalice. The

rulers of each area is a member of the royal family in some way

(prince larg of Gallione is the queen's elder brother and Prince

Goltanna is the king's cousin). The townscities probably have a

mayor or govenor of some sort as well but these weren't a big

issue in the game. For games set in the aftermath of the Lion

War, that'll change of course.



WARNING!!! This file includes my own notes about these places

and some of them include brief descriptions of what happened here

during the game. If you haven't gotten through chapter 4, then

don't bother reading this unless you want to (possibly) spoil some

suprises. Consider yourself warned.

castle, north of Lenalia plains, and east of Fort Zeakden)



Zeltenia

--------



(Zeltennia is a frontier providence that acts as a border between

the rest of Ivalice and Kaladis to the east. Because of this, it

suffered horridly during the 50 year war with Romanda. Now it only

in terms of size).



Finath river

Flowing from mt. Zeara, 6000 dorma high, the water temperature goes

Chapter Two:
Job System

This chapter delves into the heart of the Final Fantasy RPG Job System: the Jobs themselves. As mentioned in the last chapter, each job is split into four categories: Squire, Chemist, Special, and Custom. The Squire and Chemist jobs form the basic jobs that any character can train in. The Squire Jobs are all the jobs that are derived from being a Squire: Knights, Archers, Monks, Thieves, Geomancers, and Lancers. They are most of the front line fighters in any successful army. The chemist jobs, likewise, descend from the chemist job and carry most of the magic using jobs such as the wizard, priest, time mage, and summoner. Special jobs become available when the character reaches a certain combination of expertise in multiple jobs. They include the bard, dancer, samurai, ninja, mime, and calculator. Custom squires are special jobs that are unique to a specific character and replace the action skills of the normal squire job.

Aside from stat or skill modifications or equipment restrictions, the main benefit of any job is the Job Skills that it has available to it. All Job Skills fall in one of four categories: Action, Reaction, Support, and Movement. Each character can have one skill from each type "on" at any time with the exception of action skills which the character may use two of at any time. Thus it is possible to train in different jobs and customize the abilities each job has. You can have a knight that that can use black magic, teleport at will, grab sword blades, and wield a weapon with both hands.

Job Progression Chart

In order to be able to switch to a more powerful job, a player must reach a certain job level in his present job. The below chart includes the Job Levels are required to switch to which job. The job ranks required for Level 5 jobs (combination/special jobs such as the samurai, mime, ninja, and calculator) are included with each job's description.

Chapter 3: Equipment
Weapon List

The worlds of the Final Fantasy Tactics System are a place where danger is always a step behind. Adventurers such as most FFTS players should know this better than anyone. In order to survive, you will need a good weapon to defend yourself with- be it a powerful Rifle, a well forged Sword, or even a stout staff. The weapon lists below will supply you with all the weapons you'll ever need. The FFTS weapon list is closely based on the weapons available in Final Fantasy 4 and 6 along with some entries from Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy 7, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy Tactics, or original weapons when necessary.

There are 20 types of weapons available in the FFTS: Axes, Books, Bows, Boomerangs, Claws, Crossbows, Cudgels, Gloves, Hammers, Katanas, Knives, Musical Instruments, Ninja Knives, Pistols, Polearms, Rifles, Scythes, Staffs, Swords, and Whips.

Format Notes

Just to make sure no one is confused, the following is an explanation of how the format used for "note" section of the weapon lists is used.

(Element) Affinity: the weapon has an affinity to one of the 6 combat elements: fire, earth, water, air, light, or darkness. Any weapon that can randomly cast an elemental spell (fire, ice, etc) has an affinity to the same element of the spell.

Fatal blow: the weapon has a 30% chance to instantly kill the victim when used in combat situations each time a successful strike occurs.

Poison Weapon: the weapon has a 30% chance to inflict the poison status on the target every time the weapon is used. If successful, the character loses 1/10th of their hit points each round. The poison status condition lasts 1d10 rounds.

Random "(spell or status)": there is a 30% chance the weapon can cast a spell or cause that status condition when used in combat. Status conditions are marked with an asterix (*) by their name.

Weapon Prices

For sake of ease, the prices for all weapons are split into five categories: Cheap (A), Not quite cheap (B), Normal (C), Somewhat Expensive (D), and Expensive (E). When you buy a new weapon, simply check the below chart for the price. The exact price will depend on how much damage the weapon can do- a Hawkeye (boomerang) is a 1d8+4 weapon, so it'll cost you 320 GP to buy it. Aside from staffs and books, any weapon that comes with a random magic ability should be considered Rare (R). All 3d*+ weapons are considered artifacts- they cannot be bought or sold.

Note: In the case of weapons that start out as 1d*+1 such as gloves, consider the weapon to be one plus less. So a leather glove (1d6+1) would cost 30 GP rather than 60.

The categories shape up as...

* Normal (C): Bows, Swords, Staffs, Whips
* Somewhat Expensive (D): Pistols, Polearms, Axes, Scythes, Musical Instruments, Crossbows, Katanas, Hammers
* Expensive (E): Rifles, Books

Weapon Descriptions

Axes: With a well-earned reputation for their heaviness and cutting power an axe in the hands of strong warrior is something to definitely fear. Dwarves are infamous for their love of the axe, as are some imps and goblins.

Bows: The bow is the basic long range weapon. The pull on the string and the durability of the bow vary depending on the quality, and it can be used to fire arrows long distances. All bows have a range of 5 quares (R:4). Bows are also the lone ranged-weapon in the FFTS that can be fired without a clear path to the character.

Books: A weapon used by the more "scholarly" classes and aspects (sages and cosmic mages only), these books can cause various effects when a special series of phrases written down in the book are spoken out loud. The dictionary has a range of R:4 E:1 V:0 and requires the use of the character's chosen magical lore skill for attacks. Artifact level books (those that do 3d8+ damage) have a range of R:4 E:2 V:0.

Boomerangs: In the real world boomerangs are among the stranger forms of weapon and originated from the Australian aborigine tribes. In the Final Fantasy games boomerangs are among the best type of throwing weapon available. Due the cinematic magic of the FF games a boomerang will always return to its thrower's hand after it strikes its target. In games using the hex map combat rules from Chapter Four: Combat, all boomerangs have a range of 3 hexes (R:3).

Claws: Often used by Black belts and ninjas, claws consist of three blades- roughly 6 to 10 inches long- that are fastened to the back of a pair of leather gloves. Essentially they look like the X-man Wolverine's claws although some varieties are a single blade enforced to the glove. The Claw's damage substitutes the character's punching damage on Blitzes, limit Breaks, and other martial arts special powers that involve the use of the hands.

Crossbows: The direct descendant of the bow and arrow, the crossbow resembles a cross between a firearm and a bow. The body of the weapon is similar to a rifle save for the bow-like mechanism in the front of the weapon. A bolt is cocked back (much like an arrow) and by pulling the trigger the bolt is shot. All crossbows have a range of 5 hexes (R:5).

Cudgels: This group of weapon covers any number of common blunt weapons such as maces or clubs that are grouped together for the sake of easiness. Attacks using these weapons require the cudgel weapon skill.

Gloves: Essentially Gloves feature reinforcements of some sort around the knuckle regions of the character's hand making their punches more powerful. Black belts, particular those that prefer to their fists rather than claws, often wear these to give them an edge. The Claw's damage substitutes the character's punching damage on Blitzes, limit Breaks, and other martial arts special powers that involve the use of the hands.

Hammers: Heavy bludgeons; Hammers are created by attaching a large wooden or metal head to a shaft of wood or metal about 10 inches to 1 foot in length. Adventurers with strength to spare and a love for cracking skulls often use such heavy weapons.

Katanas: The oriental equivalent of swords; Katanas are widely used by samurai and ninjas. The blades differ from European (and thus, the 'sword' weapon category) in that they are created by folding the blade over and over, giving it a strong blade while remaining light. Samurai are particularly dependent on their katanas for their draw out power, which allows them to summon forth the spirit dwelling with these ancient blades. Because of the rarity of both the samurai job and the swords themselves, Katanas start at 2d10 instead of 1d10. (note: Ashura, which is rated 2d10, has the same prices as a 1d10+5 weapon)

Knives: Also known as dirks or daggers, knives are essential a more nasty combat useful version of the standard steak knife. Typically their blades measure between 6" to 10" as anything beyond a foot is considered a sword.

Musical Instruments: Often used by Bards, there are many musical instruments created by blacksmiths or musicians that are capable of being used as a weapon. Many of them inflict damage by playing a certain riff or note that causes a sonic blast of energy that causes harm to anything (people, monsters, and everything in between). Some of the most common musical instrument weapons are Lutes, Harps, Flutes, and Pan Pipes, but others (preferably ones that can be carried around) are possible. Any attacks using a musical instrument require the use of the musical instrument skill. The asterix (*) should be replaced by the character's instrument of preference. For instance, a fancy * would become a Fancy Lute if that was the player's preference. All musical instruments have a range of 4 squares (R:4).

Ninja Knives: Used by the oriental assassins, Ninja knives are in-between a katana and the standard knife in terms of appearance. Their blades are a bit longer- some reaching 1'6" or 2' and are constructed in the same fashion as katanas. They require the knives skill in order to use them properly.

Pistols: Any gun with a barrel less than 8" long qualifies as a pistol. Like pistols in our world, they are small easy to conceal guns are often more manageable than their heavier cousins. However considering that the worlds that most FFTS campaigns are set, pistols are very rare and often the realm of the Engineers that invent them. Pistols have a range of 8 squares.

Polearms: Since the days of hunter-gatherers, there have been polearms. Polearm is an term used to describe a variety of different weapons that feature a long length wood that ends in a piece of metal. These can include different varieties of Spears, Lances, Pikes, Halberds, and even Naginata. Because of their length, a polearm can be used to strike at an opponent two square away.

Rifles: Where as Pistols are light and small, Rifles are large and somewhat heavy. Any gun with a barrel over 8" qualifies as a Rifle. Unlike Pistols, Rifles tend to make a large amount of noise as well as make bigger holes in the things (or people) that are shot with them. Like Pistols, most Rifles are the arena of the resourceful engineers that invent them. Rifles have a range 8 squares.

Scythes: Although used by many cultures for farming, the scythe can be a mean weapon in combat as well. The scythe is a long single edged blade of about 2 feet in length connected to a 4' to 8' staff. The scythe requires the axe skill in order to use it properly.

Staffs: Often made of 6 to 8 foot pole staffs are a combination walking stick and weapon. The staff is wielded by using one end of the pole to strike an area of the opponent's body: often the head torso or legs. Magicians are fond of using staffs as they're not very difficult to teach as compared to heavier weapons such as swords or polearms and many staffs have magical limited spellcasting ability each time they are used. All the staffs with random spell powers such as the pearl staff and fire staff can release the spell of the same name if the magician desires to. Only magicians can unleash these effects: other classes can't call up the casting power of the staffs although they can still randomly cast the spell while fighting. Because of their length, a staff can be used to strike at an opponent two square away.

Swords: One of the most common weapons among adventurers, swords are long blades of metal capable of superior cutting ability. Swords come in a wide variety- falchions, sabres, epees, rapiers, and so on. Their legacy of being widely used by adventurers gives them one of the largest collection of variants listed here.

Whips: Whips come in two forms: leather and chain. Leather whips are created by wrapping strands of leather into a long length that narrows at the end. Chain whips involve the use of a long series of linked chains together. Both versions measure between 6 to 10 feet long. Because of their length, a whip can be used to strike at an opponent two square away.

Weapon Notes

Wonder Shot Damage (Pistol)

The Wonder shot's damage can vary widely each time it's used. It does 3d8+5 damage on average but the true result requires a percentile roll:

1-10%: Dud shot, does no damage whatsoever
10-35%: Crappy shot, does 1/2 damage
36-60%: Normal attack
61-90%: Good shot! double damage
91-100%: *kaboom* triple damage

About the Ultima Blade (Sword)

The Ultima blade is unique in that it's power decreases in power the more damage you sustain. If the character's HP is kept in peak condition, he/she is a force to be reckoned with.

100% 5d10
75%: 4d10
50%: 3d10
25%: 2d10
10%: 1d10

Critical Hit Effects

This is an optional rule at best, since most GMs will come up with ingenious ways off how a critical hit will look like when the situation suits them. The following are some rather lame ways that a weapon attack will look like when the character does a critical hit. If your imagination works similar to the games, then all of the "ka-ching!" sound effects of metal meeting monster sound twice as loud as usual.

Axe: The Character hops up a few feet and brings their axes down with all their might.

Boomerang: The boomerang cuts the target once but continues flying behind the target where it quickly comes back for a second cut.

Bow: The character suddenly shoots

Claws: The character hits the target twice with the required loud clanging sound effects.

Gloves: Rather than a normal punch, the character lands a mega-uppercut. GMs may (or may not) allow the character to slug the target off the ground and into the air.

Katana: Same as swords and axes.

Knife: The character cuts their target twice, with the second hit being a vicious stab wound to the chest area.

Ninja Knife: Same as the knife.

Pistol: The shot is twice as loud as usual, with the target being pushed back a bit. If the hex map rules are used from chapter eight, this would be 1 hex.

Polearm: The character uses their polearm's blunt end to trip their target. Before the can react, the sharp end is introduced to the target's gut.

Rifle: The shot is twice as loud as usual, with the target being pushed back a bit.

Scythes: The Character twirls around with their scythe, hitting their target twice.

Staff: The character twirls their staff around before hopping up a few feet and bringing it down on their opponent's head.

Sword: Same as axes. The character hops up a few feet and brings their sword down for an extra powerful blow. Alternately, the character chops away twice with their sword.

Whip: The character hits twice with the whip.

Chapter 3: Equipment
Accessories

Accessories are objects imbued with a small bit of magic that give characters special abilities when equipped. These usually include immunities from certain spells or small stat bonuses. Characters may wear only one accessory at once. Items that are listed as 'very rare' but have no price listed means that the accessory can be found multiple times rarely but cannot be bought.

To help keep things organized, all the accessories are organized into five categories: Status Accessories, Magic Accessories, Stat Boosters, Attribute Boosters, and Movement Accessories. Status Accessories cover those accessories that protect the character from certain types of status conditions such as blindness and poison as well as elemental affinities which provide immunity or even absorbancy to specific types of spells. Magic Accessories, when worn, give the same effects as a magic spell such as Protect, Shell, and so on. Stat Boosters increase certain combat stats such as Defense, M. Defense, HP, MP, and so on. Attribute Boosters, as the name suggests, increase the character's attribute ratings. And finally, Movement Accessories may effect the character's two movement stats: Jump or Move.
