The Twelve are the pantheon of Eorzea in Final Fantasy XIV, consisting of twelve benevolent deities who ruled the continent and its surrounding islands until the arrival of the wandering tribes. Impressed by the resilience of the primitive settlers, each of the Twelve mercifully saw fit to ensure their welfare.

Each of the Twelve commands one of the six elements, but shares it with another deity, and is associated with a month of the Eorzean calendar. Several of them are patron deities of Eorzea's cities. During character creation, players must align to one of the twelve deities, a choice that has yet to affect gameplay.

In patch 1.23, the symbols of the Twelve have appeared on stones across Eorzea for reasons related the Seventh Umbral Era. The exact cause or purpose of this event will likely become known soon.
