The Kingdom of Ivalice;
forever guarded by twin headed lions
and by the sun that shines upon them...
A year after the defeat of the 50 Year War,
the King had died from a terminal
illness earlier and the prince who
succeed him was only 2 years old.
This meant his guardian would actually
reign in his stead as King.
The Queen's elder brother Larg was
designated as guardian but,
fearing an oppressive reign from the Queen,
the parliament ousted the potential prince
appointing instead the King's cousin,
Prince Goltana, as the guardian.
Prince Goltana and Prince Larg are
both respected generals who proved
themselves in the 50 Year War.
Prince Goltana had the support of
the powerful Nobles but,
disinfranchised Nobles and knights
clearly supported Prince Larg.
The Black Lion symbolizes Prince Goltana
and the White Lion symbolizes Prince Larg.
This is the beginning of what will
later be known as "The Lion War".
