As we celebrate the first anniversary of A Realm Reborn, we must also reflect on the Calamity that forever altered Eorzea as we knew it. To that end, we invite you to pore over Tales from the Calamity─a five-part series revisiting the events of the Calamity through the eyes of several key characters. Today we offer you the first installment, wherein Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn, leader of the Maelstrom, recalls the Battle of Carteneau, and the aftermath of Bahamut’s rampage.

In the game, players can also look forward to the special anniversary event, the Rising, as well as the return of previously held collaborations!

Be sure to also keep your eyes on the Anniversary Illustration Countdown, as we continue to update the page daily with celebratory artwork.

The anniversary website is being updated constantly, so be sure to check back for the latest news!
