There was another god, awakened and watching, from his place in the shadows.

Altana's sorrow left and she once again departed, leaving the world to grow in peace and harmony. Together, they are referred to as the enlightened races. Each of these five tears gave birth to a new race of people Hume, Elvaan, Tarutaru, Mithra, and Galka. She wept for the tiny world and her tears cleared away the damage done, but that was not all. Seeing this, she felt an emotion which gods seldom feel: sadness. Shortly thereafter, the goddess Altana awakened and saw the ruin that had once been Vana'diel. Enraged by such a brazen display of insolence, the holy gatekeeper destroyed their path and cast their homes to the bottom of the sea. But, one day, the Ancients seeking to join their god parents decided to gain entrance into paradise. They traveled through the sky, extracted gold from stones, and gave birth to grasslands across the world. It was during this time that the children of the gods began to create their own civilization. Here the gods played, until eventually they fell into slumber. Their prized creation was the world of Vana'diel, their celestial playground.

Many eons ago, there was a sentient jewel, a living stone by which all life was created, banished the darkness, and spawned forth Gods of infinite power. Vana'diel, featuring the Goddess Altana and the Avatars, by Yoshitaka Amano
