"Behold, the sunne and moone in celestial embrace. Let us find balance within ourselves. From the union of discordant forces, harmony does emerge. The scale tips not towards one, but finds balance in all, bringing solace in the realm of chaos.."


Long ago, the Avillion Artifact, a mysterious relic with ancient power, appeared on Eorzea. The artifact has been said to have the ability to balance or manipulate Aether, tame Voidsent and otherworldly enigmas. Concerned about its potential danger, Avillion was formed to protect it and the realm.

In a battle long forgotten, the Artifact shattered and the Luminara's Crest and the Solstice's Shard were lost. Years later, a new fragment, Gaiana's Heartstone, washed ashore with the aether of a young woman inside named Veenine. She became the beacon for a group of seekers to reunite the shattered pieces and restore the Artifact. Thus, the Avillion guild was reborn from the ashes.

Welcome to the Order of Equilibrium, dedicated to studying and protecting the artifact, seeking harmony between realms. As guardians, we prevent darkness and Voidsent chaos, ushering a new era of coexistence. Join us to uncover the mysteries and bring equilibrium to Eorzea. Prepare for a grand journey as Avillion awaits, promising a reawakened balance, where Voidsent and mortals find solace. Together, we'll usher in a new dawn.

"Whence there was a woman who sung to her twelve children, whence she filled their minds with hopes and dreams. Thus came the Iron curtain, the dawn of reality. In Avillion, the Dust of Hopes and Dreams are imbued. A force to embody a balanced future of cull and cultivation."


The Avillion Tale

Long ago, in the annals of time, the Avillion Artifact emerged, an enigmatic relic steeped in mystery and ancient power, predating the Great Calamity. Initially, its true nature eluded the comprehension of all. Engravings etched upon a weathered stone wall recounted a tale of celestial descent—a celestial body that plummeted from the heavens and made landfall in the embrace of Eorzea, beneath the shroud of twilight and the cloak of dusk. Two halves it bore, yet their unification revealed a void at its core.Once perceived as but a remnant of a forgotten civilization, the Avillion Artifact transcended mere fragments of history. Infused with the ability to harness and manipulate the ethereal energy known as Aether, it hinted at origins spanning across countless realms, its source enshrouded in ceaseless scrutiny. The potential peril of wielding such power recklessly became apparent, prompting the rise of Avillion—a united banner to safeguard not only the artifact but also the realm of Eorzea.Amidst the ravages of the calamitous era, the second leader of Avillion, Asterllos the enlightened, proposed employing the artifact's might to shield Eorzea from impending doom. However, Asperan, known as the Will of Woe, vehemently opposed the notion, fearing that such employment could sully their very existence. This ideological clash divided their ranks, culminating in a fierce battle where one seized the Luminara's Crest, and the other, the Solstice's Shard. Alas, both vanished amidst the cataclysmic tempest, their whereabouts unknown.Yet, as the tides of fate would have it, a new fragment washed ashore—a piece of the Avillion Artifact known as the Gaiana's Heartstone. It bore the essence of Veenine, a young girl whose Aetherial consciousness resided within. With her advent, she alerted the newfound seekers to the perils entwined within the lost fragments, urging them to embark on a quest to reunite the shattered remnants. Their mission: to restore Veenine to her rightful existence and reunite her with her fragmented sisters, that they may once again find solace in the embrace of a rekindled family.Thus, the destiny of the Avillion guild of the new age unfolds—a resolute journey to recover the scattered fragments, breathe life into shattered bonds, and bring forth the dawn of a reawakened kinship.
