The End of Yevon and the Birth of New Yevon

At the end of Final Fantasy X, the religion of Yevon is finally destroyed. At that time Yevon was in a state of utter dismay and confusion. And even before Yuna and her companions destroyed it completely, it was already decaying from within; there are a number of things that led up to, and caused this:

Factors:

·	Yuna and her companion defeat Yunalesca and destroy the final summoning, and destroying the only known hope of destroying Sin.

·	The supposed “deaths”1 of the Maesters Mika ,Wen Kinoc, Kelk Rhonso2 and Seymour Guado3.

·	The Warrior Monks (the main standing army of Yevon) abandoning their posts to flee to Bevelle after Grand Maester Mika’s “death”1.

·	Yevons use of machina, even though machina is forbidden by Yevons own teachings.

This all led to:

Results:

·	Many Warrior Monks desert, mainly to the Crusaders.

·	The Al Bhed begins to come back to Spira’s cities4.

·	Many followers of Yevon begin to lose faith in the teachings of Yevon and the scriptures.

At a loss for what to do, Yevon begins to promote priests and nuns to higher rankings in the Warrior Monk orginisation (most notably Shelinda).

Yevon was finally destroyed when Yuna and her guardians killed Yu Yevon; this led to a worldwide ban of Yevon and its teachings.

A year later however New Yevon was born in insparation from Yevon, by Trema, who became the first Praetor of New Yevon.

Trema resigned after and New Yevon fell into the hands of the younger generation and the new praetor Baralai.
