Allagan Empire – How Science Conquered The World (FFXIV Lore)



The Allagan Empire is mentioned all over the world of Final Fantasy XIV, even though it’s been gone for thousands of years. The empire and its leader Xande were so great that the science and technology behind them are still relevant today. Here’s how the empire, Xande and Amon used science and magic to bring much of the world to heel.

  1. Most important invention? Easy. The Ixal.

    They made a race that’s not only outlasted them by millennia, the Ixal are highly intelligent, developed their own forms of technology and faith, and otherwise equal to all other tribes/races on Etherys that sprang up with the Sundering.

  3. The Allagan Empire story was done dirty imo. When the story shifted to The Sundering the Allagan storyline took a backseat. There are some stuff wrapped up in ShB to Endwalker

    But a good example of this is the Studium delivery quest for gatherers.

    The professor who has been studying cultures has a line like "we should look at past civilizations to learn about their lives"

    The student goes "how about the allagans?"

    Professor says "yeah they are good but like elpis though 👀"

    And off you go to gather materials in elpis

  4. Fantastic video Stout this was so much fun to watch and bringing in the infor from shadowbringers and endwalker really filled in some cool gaps as well. This was such a treat not only to watch but witness you bring it all together with the community. I'm excited for part 2

  5. Emet-Selch: “Are you a fan of the Daniel?”

    Amon: “I will kill everyone because of that bad joke.”

    Emet-Selch: “Nuh-uh me first.”

    Final Fantasy 14 story starts

  6. Azys la is basically Elpis when you think about it. A research facility of science and creation? Amon, Hermes' shard, being a prominent technologist there? Ntm the Ixal are almost similar to the Meteia…

  7. I'd wanna say the aetherytes. Technically the modern aetherytes are a Sharlayan invention but they basically took the Allagans' homework and changed it a little so it's not obvious. I live in the capital so whenever I go somewhere else and I can't commute conveniently, it's such a pain in the arse. Cos you are so used to the convenience of having metros, trams and trains running constantly that it's a struggle to go back to not having that. I'd imagine that's how it felt with aetherytes. Once the citizens of this world had them, it's like you can't go back.
