Ivalice, twenty years later

A kingdom without a king, five houses that rebuilt it from nothing, a tournament to choose a ruler, and the empires watching from beyond the border.

The history books say King Delita Heiral unified the realm and ruled in peace. In truth, his reign lasted a single year. He left no heirs, no bloodline and no one to follow him.

For twenty years Ivalice was a no man’s land: famine, plague, bandit clans and the lingering corruption of the shattered Zodiac Stones. The noble houses lost their wealth, their soldiers and their lands, and had to rebuild from nothing, clearing blighted soil and defending the common folk just to survive.

Now they have finally stood up again, and the throne is still empty.

The Leadership Games

A tournament to choose a king

To keep Ivalice from another civil war while foreign empires wait at the border, the leaders of the five houses formed a Grand Coalition Council and created the Leadership Games: a tournament of statecraft and martial worth, held in the neutral ruins of the Royal City of Lesalia and judged by a council of elder arbiters. To win the crown, an heir must prove they can rule.

The Sand Table

Trial I

The Trial of Logistics

The Sand Table

Inside the old Lesalian parliament, every heir faces the same imaginary crisis: a plague, a border blockade, an economic collapse. They must manage resources, move troops and write emergency laws in real time.

The Neutral Court
The Neutral Court
Trial II

The Trial of Diplomacy

The Neutral Court

A week of galas and public debates. The heirs are judged on the alliances they form, the old border disputes they settle and the favor they win from the neutral guilds, from the mining syndicates to what remains of the clergy.

The Grand Melee
The Grand Melee
Trial III

The Trial of Chivalry

The Grand Melee

A controlled arena where the heirs and their sworn guards fight with dulled weapons and armor enchanted to register clean hits. It tests leadership, positioning and personal skill under pressure.

Beyond the Border

Across the Rhana Strait

A militaristic island nation that also spent the twenty years of Ivalice’s ruin building its strength, waiting for the right moment.
