* {{Reincarnation}}: Sin Eaters seem to operate on this in a system separate from the Lifestream. When a Sin Eater dies, its aether doesn't return to the land as it should. Instead, the aether instantly forms a new Sin Eater. This effectively means the Sin Eater numbers have never diminished in the hundred years the survivors have fought against them.

->''"Mark well our faces, Warrior of Light, for we are the Warriors of Darkness. Walkers of a different path. And we shall meet again."''
A mysterious group of individuals holding the power of Echo summoned by the Asican Elidibus and led by the the warrior Arbert, a dark counterpart of some nature to the Warrior of Light. The rest of the group consists of the paladin Blanhaerz, the white mage Lamimi, the bard J'rhoomale, and the black mage Naillebert. Though they are first encountered striking down the primal Ravana much like the Warrior of Light and their companions once did, they soon make it very clear that their goals are far from aligned...
----
* TheAlcoholic: Blanhaerz loves a strong drink. He eventually developed a taste for more expensive liquors and would drink away his party's profits were it not for Lamimi's interference.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Lamimi actually has desires for Arbert, but refuses to act on them to keep from damaging the team.
* AlternateUniverse: Implied to be their origin. After witnessing their defeat of Ravana, and battling them themselves, Alphinaud and Y'shtola both comment on how practiced the group seemed; and how unlikely it is that they wouldn't have heard of and recruited such a mighty and skilled team of God-Slayers before. 3.4 reveals that [[spoiler: there are actually thirteen parallel worlds in this universe, and the Warriors of Darkness were from the First. They started out as random adventurers just like the protagonist before becoming Warriors of Light themselves, but upon destroying all Darkness in their world, it began to be devoured by uncontested Light, destroying everything. As such, they renounced Hydaelyn and became the Warriors of Darkness, desperate to restore the balance to the First to save their home.]]
* AnAxToGrind: The apparent leader of the Warriors of Darkness is a Warrior, wielding a copy of the Bravura Atma named in the lore book as the "Bravura of Darkness."
* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: Light and Darkness in this case. The Ascians make it sound like too much light will disrupt the world and their cause, as a result they seek out the Warrior in order to have him bring balance. Turns out [[spoiler: they're absolutely right, if the balance between Light and Dark gets too bad then the dominant force will destroy the world, as the Light did to their home.]]
* BeardOfEvil: Arbert, unlike his cutscene counterpart, has a Mirror Spock-esque goatee.
* CurbStompBattle: 3.1 shows the Warrior of Darkness single-handedly taking down Ravana with little effort. [[spoiler: 3.4 has this happen in the fight against them where they always get revived because of the Echo and the Warrior eventually uses Holmgang on the Warrior of Light and their companions, effectively having them trapped and would have killed them if it wasn't for Urianger stepping in at the last minute to save the day. The tables are then flipped with Alisaie using her blade of light to completely wreck the Warrior of Darkness and his party, though they survive anyway.]]
* DarkIsEvil: Among their ranks is a [[BlackMagic Black Mage]] and the whole group is decked out in black. [[spoiler: Though they're not as evil as they first appear.]]
* DishingOutDirt: Lamimi will use Stone III against you.
* EvilCounterpart: To the Warrior of Light through Arbert, the Hyur Warrior.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: In an echo flashback, they were shown in the normal color scheme of their artifact gear slaying an Ascian. In the present, not only are they are working with the Ascians, they are wearing a version of their gear that is as black as night.
* EvilWearsBlack: The whole group has their gear dyed in black.
* FaithHeelTurn: After Hydaelyn had seemingly forsaken them after destroying all Darkness, causing all light to consume their world, they denounced her and joined up with Ascians in a desperate attempt to restore their world.
* FallenHero: An echo flashback you share upon meeting him shows that he and his group were also once Warriors of Light, and seemingly even used the Blade of Light to slay an Ascian. Their gear are also shown in their default color palettes while their present selves are decked out in black.
* FireForgedFriends: Arbert and Naillebert started out as rivals who took the same mercenary contract. Circumstances forced the two to fight for their lives by working together, which caused them to come to respect one another and Naillebert becoming one of Arbert's companions.
* FiveTokenBand: They represent each of the five races, only leaving out Au Ra, the newest implemented, and coincidentally the only race not to appear in an opening cinematic yet.
* GoneHorriblyRight: They were led to believe that the Ascians and the darkness they brought were pure evil and had to be stopped at all costs. Beating the darkness completely meant light was unopposed and thus it flooded the world with pure light that is destroying the world anyway.
* GoodColorsEvilColors: Every single member wears a replica of the first artifact gear set, but dyed pitch black.
* InterspeciesRomance: It doesn't come out in the game itself (Lamimi doesn't ever actually speak), but the first lore book states that Lamimi has intensely romantic feelings for Arbert, but hasn't expressed them in full because this is hardly the time for romantic distractions, [[spoiler:especially with them being technically dead]]. A bit of later hindsight makes this even more surprising: [[spoiler:on Norvrandt, "Dwarves" (aka Lalafells to us) are actually considered a ''beast tribe'', not Spoken, and even their falling-in together for adventure is likely remarkable where they're from; a full-blown romance is almost certainly a huge taboo for both their cultures, which would be another boulder in the way of Lamimi's feelings]].
* KickTheDog: The Ranger J'rhoomale nearly killed Alisaie with a poisoned arrow. She regularly brings up this fact to her twin with a cruel smile on her face.
* KnowWhenToFoldThem: Lamimi gives Arbert a look, wordlessly telling him they need to leave once Thancred joins the fight.
* LightIsNotGood: Being fallen Warriors of Light aside, the Lalafell and the Roegadyn Warriors of Darkness are respectably a [[WhiteMagic White Mage]] and [[ThePaladin a Paladin]], two classes typically associated with Light (and both jobs having access to Light spells, such as Holy and Flash).
* LegendaryWeapon: All of them wield Relic Atma weapons.
* TheMentor: Blanhaerz was a seasoned adventurer when Arbert was first getting his start. Blanhaerz gave Arbert council, and eventually, the two became inseparable.
* MercyKill: The Warriors of Darkness are trying to trigger a Rejoining, an event that would cause their world to be consumed as aether by the Source world. The Warriors see this as preferable to the Flood of Light, because at least ''then'' the souls of everyone in their world would continue the cycle of life, rather than be trapped in purgatory.
* MirrorBoss: The whole group fights exactly the same way the player does in 3.4 if they're a Warrior, Paladin, White Mage, Black Mage, or Bard. Even defeating them is only temporary since the power of the Echo revives them and grants them higher strength and HP just like the player does if they suffer a defeat.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: 3.4 reveals that the warriors, like the Warrior of Light, had fought against every form of darkness that appeared and fought the evil back again and again until nothing else remained. Their victory caused light to flood the world and is slowly destroying it. Turns out that every world needs a balance of light ''and'' dark in order to exist. Whoops.]]
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler:Despite defeating all of Hydaelyn's enemies in their world and claiming peace, the First was then ravaged by a Flood of Light that threatened a FateWorseThanDeath. As Arbert says, they did ''everything'' right, and still lost]].
* PlayingWithFire: Naillebert is very fond of using Flare. In the cut scene before the battle begins, Lamimi uses a spell to enhance the Bard's arrows with fire.
* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler:In truth, the Warriors of Darkness were just like the Warrior of Light. Adventurers trying to make a living, whose deeds elevated their status until they became Warriors of Light themselves]].
* PunchClockVillain: Unlike the other Ascians, the Warrior of Darkness does not personally get involved with conflicts or schemes, and is joining the conflict as the balance of Light and Dark is being thrown out of whack, they're even introduced meddling with the Ascians' plans by striking down Ravana. Despite this, the Warrior is later seen together with Elidibus, chatting with Urianger in the Great Gubal Library. [[spoiler:As it turns out, the defeating the primals is part of the Ascians' plans to drive the beastmen tribes ever further into desperation and despair, until eventually broken, the tribes turn to worshiping a [[OhCrap new god]]. The Warriors of Darkness however, are doing it solely in desperation of saving their world, The First, from becoming a Void of Light, much like how the Thirteenth world become the Void of Darkness.]]
* ThePsychoRangers: An AlternateUniverse counterpart to the Warrior of Light and the Scions.
* TheQuietOne: Naillebert is described in ''Encyclopedia Eorzea'' as a man of few words. In game he's only ever talked twice.
* RageAgainstTheHeavens: [[spoiler:When Hydaelyn offers to stem the Flood of Light destroying the Warriors of Darkness' world, Arbert snaps at her for only ''now'' answering their prayers and attacks Minfilia. Arbert only stops when Minfilia reveals that much like Zodiark; Hydaelyn needs someone to act in her stead in order for her to do anything about the rampant light]].
* RogueProtagonist: An Echo flashback reveals that the Warrior of Darkness and his party used to be on the side of the light, but why they switched sides remained a mystery until 3.4 where they reveal that they came from another world that was destroyed when it was flooded with light.
* SixthRanger: The Lorebooks reveals J'rhoomale as this. Unlike Lamimi, Blaenherz and Naillbert, she was encountered by chance.
* SlasherSmile: Blanhaerz is fond of this expression. He grins as he tries to kill Y'shtola and again [[spoiler:when reporting to the Warrior after witnessing the death of Nidhogg]].
* SourOutsideSadInside: They act like complete pyschotic jerks that try to kill the Warrior of Light and their companions several times for reasons only known to them. [[spoiler: When said reasons come pouring out after Alphinaud figures out how they sacrificed their bodies to break boundaries and travel between worlds (thanks to the Echo), the Warrior becomes angered and upset at how he and his friends did everything that was asked of them to be a hero and they still failed, having nothing to show for it other than their world being consumed by excess light. The other companions can only shed a few tears as their leader reveals the group's story, feeling completely sad that the world they once loved would soon be no more. Only after Hydaelyn regains her strength and has Minfilia save the world consumed by light does the Warrior of Darkness drops his jerkass attitude and warns the Warrior of Light to not make the same mistakes as he had done.]]
* TeamMom: The Lorebook reveals that Lamimi is this to the group.
* TragicHero: [[spoiler:As it turns out, they never were villains. They gave ''everything'' to help protect their world, did everything right. And in the end their world is still facing destruction, because their actions brought the Flood of Light upon the First. In a desperate attempt to save their world they even sacrificed themselves, using their Crystals of Light much like the Ascians' Crystals of Darkness. Dying to transcend their mortal flesh so that they might travel to the Source, the world of the Player Character. And that they joined the Ascians in some hope they could save their world. As Arbert the Warrior explains all they have done and all they are willing to do, even dying again, just to save their home, his voice is trembling while his fellow friends and adventurers are visibly crying.]]
* WeWillMeetAgain: After being driven off by Thancred, the group decides to retreat for now and vow that they will face off against the Warrior of Light again in the future.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: They know well and good that worlds consumed by Darkness turn into a hostile nightmare realm that births monsters and is inhabitable to mortal life. However, they've seen first hand that at least an afterlife continues to exist in Darkness-scourged worlds, whereas the destruction caused by the Flood of Light leaves ''nothing'', not even a lifestream for the souls it destroys, it's complete CessationOfExistence. Hence their mentality; drown the other worlds in Darkness so Zodiark wins, at least that way they'll be able to live happily in the afterlife instead of lose everything they are including their very souls.]]
[[/folder]]
One of the thirteen worlds created by the split between Hydaelyn and Zodiark. Much like the world of Hydaelyn, the First was a world where the Warriors of Light were tasked with dispelling the forces of darkness. They had largely succeeded, but at a terrible cost: the balance between Light and Darkness has become so badly disrupted that the world is being ravaged by a Flood of Light. Here, the night has been extinguished, the skies blanketed in eternal radiant light that causes those overexposed to its glow to mutate into "sin eaters". Much of the world has been washed away in this light, with only a few scant areas remaining...
----
[[folder:In General]]
* AfterTheEnd: By the time the Warrior of Light shows up, the entire planet save for the region of Norvrandt has been consumed by the Flood of Light. The inhabitants live in constant fear of the violent sin eaters and the inevitability that the Light will eventually consume them as well.
* EndlessDaytime: There is no night in the First. The world is blanketed in eternal daylight, the sky a perpetual radiant pale pink.
* LightIsNotGood: Nowhere is this more apparent than the First. The Flood of Light has nearly destroyed the world in its entirety, and much like how the impenetrable darkness of the Void mutates living beings into voidsents, so too does the ceaseless light in the First transform people into sin eaters.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Crystarium]]
A town situated at the base of a Crystal Tower, the Crystarium is a hub for adventurers and others who have banded together to fight back against the Flood of Light and deliver the First from the brink of annihilation.
----
* HubCity
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Eulmore]]
A city where social divides are at their most egregious, the rich and influential citizens of Eulmore live a life of luxury in a massive opulent castle, whiling away their days as they await the end of the world. Those unfortunate enough to be denied entry live in ramshackle shantytowns surrounding the castle.
----
* FatBastard: The nobles of Eulmore have become morbidly obese as a result of their hedonistic lifestyle. Meanwhile, those not considered nobility are forced to live in a run-down slum at the foot of the noble district, scavenging through the garbage from the upper city and at the mercy of any sin eaters that wander in.
* TheHedonist: Knowing their city could be consumed by Light at any moment, the nobles of Eulmore overindulge in luxury.
