Tenebrae ( Final Fantasy XV ) Tenebrae is a location in the " Final Fantasy XV Universe " and a province under Niflheim ' s control . The homeland of Lunafreya Nox Fleuret and her older brother , Ravus , it maintains some level of autonomy thanks to Lunafreya ' s status as an Oracle . Tenebrae is a lush , green , mountainous area abundant in castle - like structures . A blue flower called sylleblossom is common in the region . Fenestala Manor is the home of the Tenebraea royal family , located high in the mountains , and serves as a bridge connecting several areas . Before the events of " " and " Final Fantasy XV " , Tenebrae was an Imperial Province , nominally ruled by Lunafreya and Ravus ' s mother , Queen Sylva . Story . Tenebrae was established before the adoption of the modern calendar system , after the king guarding the Crystal drove Starscourge away from Eos , and the Oracles became its royalty . Circa M . E . 358 , Niflheim began invading other countries . The Aldercapt family who govern Niflheim set their sights on world domination , using the legacy of the ancient civilization of Solheim as their modus operandi . Their two primary targets became the Kingdom of Lucis and Tenebrae , which was led by the Oracle . Niflheim gained control of Tenebrae ' s territory the same year , but they did not invade Fenestala Manor – where the Fleurets , the Oracle family , reside – due to the masses ' faith in the Oracle . Sylva was the queen of Tenebrae and had two children , the older Ravus and the youngest Lunafreya . In M . E . 744 , King Regis from the kingdom of Lucis arrived in Tenebrae with his eight - year - old son Noctis Lucis Caelum for the latter to recuperate from an injury sustained from a daemon attack . Noctis befriended Lunafreya and met Gentiana , the divine Messenger of he gods who had lived in Fenestala Manor with the Nox Fleuret family since Luna was born . During the king ' s stay , Niflheim attacked the manor to kill Regis , and General Glauca murdered Sylva in front of her children . Regis escaped with Noctis despite Ravus pleading him for help . The incident was covered up and the queen was reported to have perished in an accidental fire , but Fenestala Manor fell under imperial control . Luna , who became the new Oracle when she was 16 , often traveled through Tenebrae , healing people affected by the plague of darkness . After a 24 - year - old Luna ' s escape from Insomnia in the wake of its fall to the Niflheim Empire , she returned to Tenebrae . In a field of sylleblossoms she met with her brother Ravus , who demanded she stop communing with the astral s , and claimed Noctis will never become the True King . Following Luna ' s demise , Noctis wishes to go to Tenebrae to pay his respects . The train ride to the territory is ambushed by Imperial forces and daemons . The Imperials rain fire down on the Fleuret Manor as revenge against former high commander Ravus Nox Fleuret , who has been sentenced to death for high treason in the aftermath of the disastrous campaign against leviathan . When Noctis arrives at the station overlooking the still aflame Fleuret Manor , he meets with Aranea Highwind . She offers her two men , Biggs and Wedge , to see the party safely to Gralea . Noctis speaks to Maria , a woman who worked for House Fleuret . She asks if he received the Ring of the Lucii , and tells Noctis that Lord Ravus wished to return King Regis ' s sword to him . He also learns that Luna ' s dog Pryna passed away when Luna did . Noctis speaks to a young girl who tells him that Luna truly loved him . Luna had worried the wedding plans were a bother to him , which Noctis assures they were not . Some in Tenebrae still pray for Luna to return , while others mark the absence of Gentiana . Creation and development . Tenebrae was planned for the game ever since it was known as " Final Fantasy Versus XIII " . In a trailer for " Final Fantasy Versus XIII " , it was revealed a legend exists in Tenebrae that states those who can see the " light " of the Kingdom of the Dead will obtain special powers . Stella Nox Fleuret was from Tenebrae , and appeared to have this power , as did Noctis . Gentiana ' s original role for was that of Stella ' s messenger , and a contact point between the countries of Tenebrae and Niflheim . Etymology . Tenebrae juxtaposes Lucis , a kingdom whose name means " light " in Latin . While Lucis is technologically advanced , Tenebrae represents an " old school " fantasy kingdom .
