The floating capital of Cocoon, Eden.
Eden? The Sanctum's seat of power. Oh, that's a great idea. Just charge right in there. Give 'em a taste of l'Cie terror!
Sazh
Eden (エデン, Eden?), known as the "Seat of the Sanctum", is the capital city of Cocoon in Final Fantasy XIII. Named after its patron fal'Cie of the same name, it serves as the center of Cocoon's governing body, the Sanctum. Eden floats in the sky high over Cocoon and thus can only be reached by airship or a railway connected to Palumpolum.
Eden comprises the twelfth chapter of the game.
Datalog
Template:See Also This city, Cocoon's capital, shares its name with its fal'Cie patron. Host to the world's centers of culture and government, it functions as the heart of human society on Cocoon.
At the city's core rises the monumental Edenhall, seat of the Sanctum's administration. The fal'Cie Eden dwells deep within the structure's interior.
Story
Final Fantasy XIII
Template:Sideicon Template:See Also
The party emerges in Eden from Gran Pulse.
Lightning believes the fal'Cie Eden is manipulating the Sanctum and responsible for the Purge and all of the misfortune that has befallen her. She and Hope Estheim thus attempt to reach Eden and exact revenge. When the pair reaches Palumpolum, Hope's observation that the fal'Cie treat humans "like pets" causes Lightning to realize the life she had under the fal'Cie's care was meaningless, and that her plan for revenge is petty and foolish. The party discovers it is not Eden, but the Sanctum's Primarch Galenth Dysley, who is manipulating the Sanctum, and that Dysley is a disguised form of the fal'Cie Barthandelus.
Eden houses the fal'Cie Orphan, whose destruction is the party's "true" Focus. Because Orphan powers Cocoon's infrastructure and its death would equate to Cocoon's destruction, the party attempts to flee to Gran Pulse to avoid their Focus, even knowing that the consequence is transforming into Cie'th. Barthandelus draws them back to Eden by inciting political and military uproar, chiefest among which is convincing the Cavalry that Orphan is the mastermind behind the recent Pulsian threats. This forces the party to return to thwart the misguided Cavalry and put an end to Barthandelus once and for all.
Lightning and the group prepare to face a Behemoth King.
The party returns to Eden amid a grand prix race, and summons their Eidolons. Rygdea and the Cavalry storm Cid Raines's office and assassinate him, and the building explodes. The fal'Cie summon Pulsian wildlife from the Fifth Ark and the oretoises and behemoths storm the capital. Yaag Rosch deploys PSICOM to fight the Pulse invasion, their target also to capture the rogue l'Cie.
The party makes their way through the chaos, meeting NORA on the way. NORA help the civilians while the party continues onward towards Orphan. They fight Yaag Rosch in his Proudclad, but convince him they are on the same side. Rosch commands the PSICOM forces to abandon the l'Cie operations, and instead help evacuate the civilians. He is attacked by King Behemoths, and detonates grenade simultaneously killing the monsters and himself.
Ragnarok appears in Eden.
After Orphan's destruction, Eden loses power and large portions collapse. When Ragnarok appears above Eden the Pulsian wildlife is sucked into it. After Ragnarok crystallizes Cocoon, many citizens have evacuated from Eden, while being aided by PSICOM and Guardian Corps forces alike.
The novel Final Fantasy XIII-2 Fragments After reveals that Eden fell on Bodhum on the Day of Ragnarok.

Creation and Development
Eden in the Archylte Steppe, concept art for Final Fantasy XIII-2.
Eden, Hanging Edge and Sunleth Waterscape were the first locations to be revealed, shown in the E3 2006 trailer, albeit their names were unknown at the time.
In the early development for Final Fantasy XIII-2, Eden, the great floating city of Cocoon, has collapsed to Lake Bresha that lies at the bottom of crystallized Cocoon. Later, a different concept to the Lake Bresha version, Eden has been collapsed on Gran Pulse, at Archylte Steppe. The scene was to be in the distant future where the ancient capital of Cocoon would have been covered by different kinds of plants, flowers and other vegetation.[1]
A certain concept art
was later used as a location in Serendipity in Final Fantasy XIII-2.

Etymology
Eden (עֵדֶן, éden) means "place of pleasure" in Hebrew. It often refers to the Garden of Eden in the Bible.
In the world of Final Fantasy XIII the city of Eden is named after its patron fal'Cie.
Trivia
- It is mentioned in the web novelization Final Fantasy XIII Episode Zero -Promise- that Serah Farron was planning to attend Eden's university.
- Jihl Nabaat talks to Sazh Katzroy about erecting a monument in Eden with the crystallized Dajh Katzroy as its centerpiece.
- Eden is the name of the final Guardian Force in Final Fantasy VIII and its shape is similar.
- Three of Eden's locations share their names with those of past summons (Ramuh, Siren and Leviathan).
- While standing on the Leviathan Plaza and looking at the Edenhall, there is number "13" on the left wall of the entrance, an allusion to the number of the game in the series.
- This concept art of Eden
is seen in a wall portrait in the NORA house of New Bodhum in Final Fantasy XIII-2. - The Fifth Ark was revealed to be hidden underneath Eden. The Arks float by the use of Graviton Cores, and Eden is a floating city. It is unknown whether the Fifth Ark contributed to levitating Eden.
