The history of XI:7 is a complicated one. I won't tell you the whole story, but I'll tell you what you need to know. In the days following the Calamity, XI:7 was born as a small weapons manufacturer that wanted to help rebuild the realm. The vision caught the attention of those clinging to the hope that Eorzea could begin anew. So XI:7 grew rapidly, too rapidly as it turns out.
The company flourished. It grew and expanded into more and more territories and business ventures. Everything from agriculture to establishing new trade routes and researching and developing the latest technologies. In my youth and my arrogance, I let the company fall from within. The empire collapsed, leaving nothing.
That was the first of many of my failures. I rebuilt the company again and again as it faltered and struggled. I held onto hope that those with money and power could be the ones to steer the realm into prosperity and peace.
The corporation has been quietly building once again. We now stand at the precipice of potential we once had. And now we set our sights to those that would overtake our homes. Garlemald.
We will defend Eorzea on every front. We will train soldiers to defend the frontlines. We will send out operatives to gather and use information to cripple the efforts of our enemies. We will develop and build better technologies to rise to any threat. We will do whatever is necessary.
We will rebuild Eorzea. And we will do it under the banner that swears no allegiance to any political power.
Noblesse Oblige.
