Creation Myth
There are several creation myths from the different tribes and peoples across all of Eorzea, however one of the most widely accepted is from Lewphon of Sharlayan, who became noteworthy for compiling information to create a cohesive theory known as the Creation of Eorzea.
While the Twelve are generally assumed to be myths by most scholars in the late Sixth Astral, the Seventh Umbral, and early Seventh Astral eras, beings claiming to be the Twelve are eventually encountered by the Warrior of Light. These beings insist they are not primals, and do not seem to temper those exposed to them.
The Twelve are part of the process of creating your character. In Final Fantasy XIV players can choose from twelve patron deities, each of which represents a moon (or month) of the Eorzean Calendar.
