Palamecia
The empire whose expansion drives Final Fantasy II, and an airship in XIII.
Palamecia is the empire of Final Fantasy II. Its ruler, the Emperor of Palamecia, is a powerful mage who seeks to conquer the world and summons monsters from Hell to do it; the empire's ruthless expansion conquers or destroys neighbours including the kingdom of Kashuan and the dragoon homeland of Deist.
Lore & Background
A rebellion headquartered at Fynn Castle forms to fight the expansion, and the Empire's attack that destroys Fynn Castle and its town is the game's inciting incident. The party later enters Palamecia's castle and confronts Leon, and the castle transforms into Pandaemonium, the capital of Hell.
In Final Fantasy XIII the Palamecia is an airship on which Sazh and Vanille are detained; the rest of the party reunites with them there before confronting Galenth Dysley, the Sanctum's Primarch, who is the fal'Cie Barthandelus in disguise.
