"Every soul must needs have a code, a purpose, to guide them. Else chaos would consume us all."
- The Determination of Being, Guillaurmand de Padellaint


In general, there is a fourfold classification of adventurers based on the disciplinary paths to which they devote themselves: Disciples of War, masters of arms who live for the call of combat; Disciples of Magic, erudite researchers of all things esoteric; Disciples of the Land, gatherers of material resources and students of the natural order; and Disciples of the Hand, crafters who invest their creative ingenuity in synthesis and industry.

Players may opt to specialize in one discipline, excelling in a single skill, or they may take a more general approach, making free use of the Armoury. The choice is yours.

The Four Disciplines

Disciples of War

"The advancement of a nation may be gauged by its ability to craft weapons,
but its future depends on its ability to craft wars."
- from Leading the Van, by master tactician Owyne Cosserand

Followers of this discipline devote themselves to the mastery of weapons and the wars waged with them. Through rigorous physical training, they hone their minds and bodies into instruments of combat, ever ready to make a decisive contribution to the cycle of conflict which plagues Eorzea.

Disciples of Magic

"Aether knows neither sacred nor profane, yet resides in all creation. Embrace it, and a timeless power will be yours."
- celebrated soothsayer and sage, Gota Jaab

The path of magic beckons to those with a restless desire to study and command sorcery in all its forms. Its adherents use artifacts and relics to call upon and channel forces within themselves and the aether around them, weaving their destructive and restorative spells in the service of Eorzea.

Disciples of the Hand

"An empty hand is akin to an empty heart -- ever does it long for a companion."
- former Tanners' Guild guildmaster, Saiverin Vaireloque


For crafters, the art of synthesis is at the very core of their way of life, driving their industry. They employ a veritable arsenal of tools in working everything from the most delicate cloth to the most resilient metal. Through their labors, the traditions of Eorzea are kept alive, and her culture preserved.

Disciples of the Land

"Gladiators haven't a care whence steel comes, nor archers timber. 'Tis no concern of ours -- so long as their gil is good."
- esteemed naturalist Pilfa Dalfa, in his cups

These harvesters of nature's bounty utilize an array of tools in their work with all forms of plants and minerals. Their trade encompasses knowledge of all of Hydaelyn's natural resources, be it in a cultivated garden or the great outdoors. As a cornerstone of Eorzea's economy, their impact on her inhabitants can hardly be overstated.
