As befitting its name, Spira is characterized by cycles & repetition, such as the spiral of death that the world endures under the yoke of Sin, the many spheres found in Spira, the blitzball sphere pools, the prayer to Yevon, the Sphere Grid, & Spira’s cycle of life energy emerging from within the planet’s core, granting life to all its living inhabitants, & then returning to the core when a life form dies. Geography The main landmass of Spira is surrounded by small islands, including Besaid, Kilika, Bikanel, & the ruins of Baaj Temple. The mainland of Spira is where the bulk of Final Fantasy X takes place. The southernmost location, Luca, is a large city home to Spira’s pastime, Blitzball. North of Luca is the mountainous area of Djose, which features a Yevonite temple. Connecting Luca & Djose are several roads: the Mi’ihen Highroad, a historical path that features Chocobos for transportation; the Mushroom Rock Road, home of the failed operation to defeat Sin; & Djose Highroad, a rocky path that forks north into the Moonflow & east to Djose Temple. The Moonflow is a large river running through the heart of Spira, featuring shoopuff rides, ancient ruins, & a high density of pyreflies. A path from the Moonflow leads to Guadosalam, home of the Guado race & the gateway to the Farplane. North of Guadosalam are the Thunder Plains, which are the site of a never-ending thunderstorm controlled by lighting rods calibrated by the Al Bhed. The Thunder Plains lead into Macalania, a sparkling forest complemented by a frozen lake & a Yevonite temple. Bevelle, the spiritual center of the Yevon religion, lies on a thin strip of land slightly north of Macalania. The city is built as a series of layers, with the headquarters of Yevon located at the top. The Via Purifico, located beneath Bevelle, serves as a prison for outcasts. Further north are the Calm Lands, a series of cracked, blasted plains that have been the site of numerous battles in Spira’s history, mostly with Sin; the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth, an equally historical area; & Mt. Gagazet, home of the Ronso race. Lastly, the sacred city of Zanarkand is on the northern tip of the Spiran mainland, reduced to ruins by the Machina War 1,000 years before the events of Final Fantasy X . Fauna Spira also features various animal species. Although most of these are analogues of terrestrial animals, such as cats, dogs, birds & butterflies, a few fictional species appear, such as the gigantic shoopuf & the chocobo. Both are used primarily for transport purposes. Most other unusual creatures encountered in Spira are fiends, monsters formed from the spiritual energy of the pyreflies (see Magic: Pyreflies , below) & motivated by the anger & fear of an Unsent soul. Technology & Culture This world has been plagued by an unstoppable destructive entity named Sin for the last 1,000 years. Every 10 years or so, Sin rises from the ocean & wreaks havoc on random coastal settlements (which, considering the geography of Spira, this included most of the available land). This destructive rampage continues until a Summoner can destroy it by summoning the Final Aeon, which battles Sin. After Sin is defeated, a time of peace & regrowth known as the Calm occurs, at least until Sin returns, as it always does. Life in Spira is simple, as technological advancement has come to a halt in the thousand years since Sin’s first appearance & the rise of the Yevonite religion. For several hundred years, the population’s culture revolved around the temples of Yevon. A strict code of accepted social behaviors (such as distrust towards the Al Bhed & their use of “machina”, a perpetual fear of Sin, & atonement for past sins) were common characteristics of devout Yevonites. Tensions between the various races exist, mainly with regards to the Al Bhed’s ostracism from the rest of Spira due to religious beliefs. However, other hostilities exist as well. Tensions exist between the Ronso & the Guado, & the Hypello are rarely seen on land, except around the Moonflow (although this may have more to do with their aquatic nature than any dislike of other Spiran races). Blitzball, a worldwide sporting pastime in Spira, is one of the few ways that all the races in Spira can come together & find temporary escape from the hardships of the world. Timeline 1,050 Years Ago The Bevelle-Zanarkand War is fought. The area now known as the Calm Lands is devastated by a machina battle. The Bevellians create Vegnagun, the ultimate machina.
