"i hope we get more content in the future". My man, a raid series is going to be about them LOL. Great vid, very well put together.

[@KJones_VA]

Really useful breakdown, was in need of more information on my guardian. Hopefully they play a deeper role in the future.

[@TheOneGreat]

Not sure about the extend but we gonna get the new raid in EW which is supposed to centre on the Twelve, so that's something. :D

[@SuperBronySparkle97]

Good thing the endwalker raid event will dive into the twelve real soon.

Hmm I don’t remember this being consider a myth, but it doesn’t matter now since they apparently came from random Ma Hydalean chose😂😂😂 It’s weird considering all the other games I played mentioning them and so many games pretty much link up with ff14 as you can see old places of other games in raids Then again they retconned the crap outta the lore lol There was another channel but I can’t find her on KZbin anymore she had a crap ton of info on the gods and the races of ff in general

According to the actual game of FFXIV, y'know the one you're talking about, Althyk is the father of Azeyma and Menphina and _the elder brother to Nymeia._ Not the father/lover or Nymeia.

The information about the origin of the Twelve I discuss in this video comes directly from the Encyclopedia Eorzea Vol. 1. Particularly the creation myth passage in the section outlining the Twelve Deities. I encourage you to read the full thing, but the relevant part states: "Yet Althyk would not be alone overlong, for soon from the Whorl did another step forth. Her name was Nymeia, and She was but a mewling babe who could do aught but weep, and soon Her tears had created a vast lake. Althyk, seeking companionship in the empty realm of His creation, took the young goddess under His wing and cared for Her as one would a daughter. As Nymeia grew, however, so too, did their love for one another, until it could no longer be contained, culminating in a divine coupling which resulted in the birth of two holy daughters, Azeyma, the sun, and Menphina, the moon..." If more recent information about the Twelve has come out that contradicts this, I would remind you that this is only the creation "myth" of the Twelve, and even then the lore book mentions that there are countless forms of this tale, and this is only one well-researched scholar's take on a "definitive" version.
