What is the Historia Crux?
-The Historia Crux is a collection of worlds created by L'Cie to expand their influence. Time travel is permitted so the past, present, and future can all be changed to satisfy the L'Cie's needs or desires. Sometimes, there are hidden worlds that L'Cie had no knowledge on so any place in particular they reach, whether a gift from concorders or conquered from their inimicals, will be added to the Historia Crux.

Many have failed, strong ones too but the early emperor defeated X.A.N.A. along with his ancient warriors.

Augusta Tower 100 AF
-Time and memory, frozen in crystal. The main L'Cie data processing super structure. Because the city of Gran Pulse cannot store all the intel and data it acquired, this tower can store unlimited amounts and today, that trend never stops growing.

In the meantime, the emperor himself remained behind to protect the neutralites who have taken shelter and has sworn to keep PSICOM forces at bay until the clan has returned.
Palace of Eden 100 AF
-Time and memory, frozen in crystal. The PSICOM-induced paradox of the eclipse allowed the grand emperor palace to be seen without worry. In truth, the Palace of Eden was created long ago and with Etro's assistance, it was hidden away for the emperor's own safety. Normally, it would be safe but with the paradoxes that soon followed after the eclipse, the New Liberty Sentinels were tasked to guard the palace to eliminate any intruders who dared to enter. During peaceful times, the eclipse does provide one advantage. The warriors often invite the neutralites for night parties and festivities while guaranteeing their safety at the same time.

It regulates on a normal legal court system such as that there are two sides who present their cases: the Plaintiff and the Defendant. Lawyers are also presented to both sides either from their own contacts or by the Pulse/Sanctum L'Cie. The judge is none other than the main L'Cie leader himself and he takes all major cases very, VERY, seriously. This court isn't build for defeated enemies but also for conflicts inside the Pulse/Sanctum L'Cie themselves. Your words will determine if you walk out of here innocent or guilty.
Gran Pulse 300 AF
-Time and memory, frozen in crystal. The main city of the L'Cie. After what seems like an endless battle, L'Cie were victorious against their evil counterparts. As the Anti-L'Cie retreat from the city, L'Cie were lucky to find the source of the eclipse and eliminate it. The Fal'Cie were grateful for this victory and celebrate it with parties and all sorts of great things. Out of all places, L'Cie have decided to make Gran Pulse their main base of operations until a new citadel has been constructed. This is to ensure that the city will not repeat history and to keep it safe if the Anti-L'Cie shall rise again.

Before the creation of the arena, L'Cie have discovered the artifact and decided to provide the sword what it wants: the next warrior.
Valfodr's Realm 300 AF
-Time and memory, frozen in crystal. This is where your ability to wield a sword comes in. Warriors from all lands come here to prove their worth and to earn the title of "Valfodr", to honor a very powerful Fal'Cie. The leader himself is very dangerous because unlike others, he has honor in his sword. That allowed him to rise to the top and defeat those who opposed him. All will come but only one will win it all. Very few warriors were able to defeat the leader because they all shared his value of honor. Not only that, the leader himself will present the title to whoever has proven him/herself worthy. If you think you have what it takes to be a master, step up and begin a fight for your life.

Because balance is important here, it is made in honor of both the Sanctum and Pulse Fal'Cie.
Shrine of the Fal'Cie 400 AF

Any intruder who dares to defile this holy shrine will be killed and banished on the spot. This job is performed by the shrine guardians who carefully selects the rising L'Cie. Rumor has it is that you can actually hear the Fal'Cie's voice when you either honor or dishonor their shrine.

Luxerion 1600 AF

Just like the other arenas, the training itself is up for interpretation and depending on your commitment and resilience, success or failure will be the result as it states in the belief of the balance.
Temple of Bhunivelze 1700 AF
-Time and memory, frozen in crystal. It was said that the god, Bhunivelze, was the sole creator of the Fal'Cie which then gave birth to L'Cie. Balance was important to him which means that in truth, there are actually TWO types of swords instead of one: light and darkness. The new generation of L'Cie now has the option to be branded by either but the sole purpose now is to live harmoniously with that balance. The journey itself may prove more difficult than ever but if the great Bhunivelze became legend by this lesson, then L'Cie can be legend too.
