Prior to the events of "Final Fantasy Tactics", the Fara church dominated the kingdom of Ivalice. The remake of "Final Fantasy Tactics", "Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions", refers to the Fara Church as Pharism. The life of Ajora saw Fara replaced with the new Glabados church which, by the time of the game, is the major religion of the kingdom. Glabados is monotheistic and intensely political, underscoring much of Ivalice history. Followers of Glabados use the word "Faram" to affirm their prayers. During the events of the game, the church is revealed to have put a large spin on history, particularly the events surrounding the life of Ajora, a messianic figure.
