History

"Just a minute! The following section contains spoilers. Viewing it will cost a lot. Are you prepared to pay for it?"

It is said that the people of Agartha once coexisted with the Nabateans, the children of the Goddess, but eventually turned away from the Goddess's protection and dedicated themselves to the advancement of technology for their prosperity. In time, they apparently became greedy, arrogant, and imperialistic, eventually challenging the Goddess herself for dominance. The Goddess's daughter Seiros, as well as the rest of the Nabateans, warred with the Agarthans and destroyed their nation for their hubris. However, the conflict resulted in Fódlan being so devastated that the Goddess was forced to expend all of her energy to heal it, and thus fell into a long slumber in her Holy Tomb at Zanado. The surviving Agarthans retreated underground and their descendants became Those Who Slither in the Dark, who would devote centuries to plotting their revenge.

At some point, 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. However, Seiros would survive the massacre, and would go on gather the remaining Nabateans, the Four Saints, create the Church of Seiros, as well as bestow her Crest of Seiros onto Wilhelm Paul Hresvelg, thereby helping him create the Adrestian Empire. This would eventually lead to Wilhelm following Seiros' will and clashing against Nemesis and his forces, starting the War of Heroes, a war that would span for many decades.

Seiros ultimately prevailed and slew Nemesis in Imperial Year 91, but the failure of Nemesis did not deter the Agarthans from their path. Over a thousand years later, Those Who Slither in the Dark prepared to inflict their vengeance against the unsuspecting people of Fódlan.

A book in the Shadow Library of Abyss titled "Romance of the World's Perdition" reveals that the Agarthans originally worshiped a pantheon of old gods from a land called Thinis.
