From Final Fantasy XIV Online Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Charged with leading the Mhachi's voidsent army against Amdapor, the mighty Diabolos was shorn of power in a desperate counterattack and imprisoned within a potent seal. He awakened centuries later when the Calamity broke the seal, only to be humbled once more by adventurers sent to investigate the ruins vanishing in flurry of leathern wings. He would reemerge at the heart of a sinister plot aboard the Void Ark.

Lore

The Mhachi had intended Diabolos to be their secret weapon in annihilating the Amdapori mages and toppling the ancient city. What they had underestimated was the desperation with which the white mages fought to defend their home, and the home of their children. Though many gave their lives in the task, Diabolos was eventually sealed deep beneath the city, and Amdapor was safe for a time.

Encyclopædia Eorzea vol 1, page 34

High Voidmage Cessair conducted the summoning of this powerful voidsent believing that merely the threat of such a weapon would frighten the Amdapori into submission, effectively ending the War of the Magi without further bloodshed. The Coven—Mhach’s ruling body of magi—disagreed, and commanded that Diabolos be sent to destroy the ancient city—a feat the creature would have accomplished were it not for the collective efforts of Amdapor’s white mages.
