About 1000 years ago:
  • Machina using Bevelle and Aeons summoning Zanarkand started a war (Machina began)
    Both countries used machinas, but Bevelle, who used mahina as their primary weapon was taking advantages. Zanarkand was deemed to lose from the beginning.
  • Yevon, leader of Zanarkand, transformed the remaining citizens and followers into fayths (The fayth cluster on Mt. Gagazett)
  • Summer Yevon started to summon Dream Zanarkand using fayth’s memories. He then transformed himself into Yu Yevon and created the first “Sin”. (Sin was born)
  • Dream Zanarkand born
  • Sin destroyed the abandoned Zanarkand and the Bevelle. Machina civilization collapsed.
