Orience is the world of Final Fantasy Type-0 and Final Fantasy Agito. In Final Fantasy Type-0, the history of Orience is written in the Annals of Orience. Orience is comprised of four nations that until recently had coexisted peacefully, each controlling a Crystal that grants them a unique power. The price is memory loss: l'Cie, humans chosen by the Crystals made immortal who can wield the Crystal's power and thus exert their Will in the world, lose most memory of who they were. When a Crystal deems its l'Cie's use over, he or she enters crystal stasis, their soul trapped in crystal.
