Nabatea

Nabatea was an ancient civilization in Fódlan established by the progenitor god and her children.

History
In ancient times, the progenitor god arrived in Fódlan from an unknown location far away. She took on a human form and used her blood to create her children, the Nabatean people. For a while, the Nabateans were able to coexist with the native humans of Fódlan, and the Nabateans shared knowledge and skills to help them build a prosperous civilization: Agartha.

Eventually, the Agarthans turned away from the progenitor god, warring among themselves and advancing their technology ever further, to the point that they began to consider themselves to be gods as well. They even challenged the progenitor god directly, but were struck down by her daughter, Seiros, for their hubris. The war devastated the continent, forcing the progenitor god to expend most of her energy to heal it and then retire to her Holy Tomb at Zanado in the Oghma Mountains to slumber. The Agarthans who escaped the wrath of Seiros retreated underground and began plotting their long revenge, becoming Those Who Slither in the Dark.

Later, Those Who Slither in the Dark secretly manipulated Nemesis into breaching the Holy Tomb and killing the progenitor god in order to forge weapons such as the Sword of the Creator and create the Crest of Flames from her body. Nemesis then slaughtered the Nabateans at Zanado, and bestowed Crests upon his strongest warriors, the Ten Elites. Only Seiros and at least two other Nabateans, Cichol and his daughter Cethleann, survived the extermination of their people. Enraged by the loss of her mother and people, Seiros persuaded one of Nemesis' allies, Wilhelm Paul Hresvelg, to betray Nemesis and side with her, giving him her own blood and the Crest of Seiros. Wilhelm founded the Adrestian Empire with Seiros' assistance, ushering in the War of Heroes. After decades of fighting, Seiros slew Nemesis in Imperial Year 91 at the Tailtean Plains. Following the war, Seiros used the Church of Seiros to rewrite history and ensure that the nations of Fódlan never again developed advanced technology.
