Bikanel Island had hosted at least one large city in former times, most likely in the time around the Machina War. As the signs on the ruins are all in the Al Bhed language, it seems the former city of Bikanel was already an Al Bhed city, that city was destroyed by Sin, which is why the Al Bhed were scattered throughout Spira.

{ BEVELLE }
The capital of Spira's dogmatic society, it is initially the home of the Yevon religion.One thousand years before the events of Final Fantasy X, escalating hostilities between the city-states of Bevelle and Zanarkand eventually led to a terrible and ravaging war that tore across Spira. Due to its technological advantage over Zanarkand, Bevelle clearly held the advantage.However, no true end to the conflict came about; Yu Yevon, the city's most powerful summoner, gathered the survivors of his devastated home and used them to conjure up a dream world parallel of Zanarkand at its height of glory. To shield himself and his creation, Yu Yevon clad himself in armor formed from pyreflies, becoming the creature known as Sin; it is suspected that Sin destroyed the original Zanarkand. To safeguard itself from attack, Bevelle treated with Yu Yevon to preach his teachings, which would become the foundation of the Yevonite religion.After the final destruction of Sin and the banishment of the remnants of Yu Yevon's spirit, Bevelle entered a state of chaos and turmoil. The Yevonite priesthood, ruined by the calamitous revelations of its origins, hypocrisy and lies, disbanded in the face of the complete breakdown of the theocratic society Spira had existed as for nearly a thousand years.In the wake of this cultural upheaval rose a man named Trema, who would found the New Yevon organization with the aim to help those either unwilling or unable to cope with the changes rippling throughout civilization. Following Trema's surprising and sudden disappearance, Baralai (once a candidate for Yevon's elite Crimson Squad) would emerge at the forefront of the fledgling organization seeking to continue Trema's philosophy of gradual adjustment to the new order of the world.Bevelle, once a machina wonder surpassing even the majestic glories of Zanarkand, hid behind its pious veneer ancient and sorcerous technology, including the mobilesuper-weapon Vegnagun.

The temple is a large and ornate structure, which was once bustling, but became forgotten after Sin tore the earth asunder with the last of its strength while combating High Summoner Gandof. Remiem Temple is surrounded by the same mountain range that Mt. Gagazet belongs to.There is no Cloister of Trials as is typical to the other Temples of Yevon. The temple itself is merely a large room with the entrance to the fayth at the far end. This is where the Magus Sisters can be found.

{ ZANARKAND }
Zanarkand is a former metropolis which lies at Spira's northernmost edge. Zanarkand was annihilated by Sin at the end of the Machina War against Bevelle 900 years ago.The original Zanarkand was a more utopian city state where the people wished to enhance their lives using a mix of magic imbued within machina. The city state of Bevelle was more militarized and focused completely on machina. Bevelle believed Zanarkand was planning a war against them, and so Bevelle struck first, starting the Machina War.During the war Yu Yevon, the leader of Zanarkand, and his citizens, used summoning as their weapon to fight off the armies of Bevelle. They were unable to stop Bevelle's armies, and Yu Yevon sacrificed the people of Zanarkand in order to preserve the metropolis in a dream state at the height of its power, and to also summon a creature of unspeakable power to defend it, otherwise known as Sin.Yu Yevon only gave the creature two objectives, defend Dream Zanarkand and destroy any large cities or cities that relied heavily on machina. Unable to control Sin's power Yu Yevon's mind became consumed. Due to this the newly summoned Sin turned on Zanarkand itself, following its instincts, destroying the metropolis creating the Zanarkand Ruins.

{ IV }
The people of Spira follow the Teachings of Yevon. The faith is named after Yu Yevon, a summoner who lived in Zanarkand around the time when Sin first appeared. Nearly all the peoples of Spira follow the teachings of Yevon, including the Ronso and some of the Guado. The Al Bhed are an exception and are viewed as heretics by the autocracy for their use of machina, a practice strictly forbidden by the church.
{ THE TEACHINGS OF YEVON }
The majority of the people of Spira follow the teachings of Yevon. The faith is named after Yu Yevon, the once leader of Zanarkand and the creator of Sin. The Al Bhed are the exception, they don't follow the teachings of Yevon, they are viewed as heretics because of use of machina.

{ CHURCH'S HIERARCHY }
At the top of the Church of Yevon's hierarchy is the position of Grand Maester. Currently the position is being held by a man by the name of Krei Mika. Below the Grand Maester are three positions that hold the title Maester. One usually addresses Maester as either 'Maester' or 'Your Grace'. Maesters are the ones who make the laws, presiding over Yevon's High Court and overseeing the church's civil, military and spiritual affairs. The next step down from Maester is the Priest's of Yevon. They attend to the Temples and surrounding lands. Each temple has a High Priest who presides over the temple and it's staff. Many Priests are Summoners or former Summoners who quit their pilgrimage. Priests tend to wear mutlicoloured robbes of white, green and orange. Below the Priests are Summoners. Summoners are charged with the greatest responsibility of all. They must journey to Zanarkand on a pilgrimage to defeat Sin. On the way, Summoners perform Sendings where they send the souls of the deceased to the Farplane. The title of High Summoner refers to a Summoner who has defeated Sin (That last High Summoner was Lord Crayness, he defeated Sin a little over a decade ago). Lastly, the church has a number of acolytes. They work throughout Spira performing various tasks for the Church.

{ YEVON'S MILITARY }
The Church itself has a strong military that they sent out to combat Sin and protect the citizens of Spira as best they can. Warrior Monks serve as protectors to the Maesters and the temples. They are mostly seen in Bevelle. Guardians are a Summoner's personal body guard. They are not directly related to the church. A Summoner chooses their own guardians and can choose non-Yevonites if they wish (doing so is very rare and looked down upon though). They are expected to put their lives on the line for their Summoner. The Crimson Blade (also known as The Crusaders) is a closely knit army that dedicates themselves to protecting the people, towns and temples from Sin. They are directly connected to the Church, no non-Yevonites may join The Crimson Blade. There are unofficial chapters of The Crimson Blade that are made up of those who have been excommunicated by the Church.

{ PRAYERS TO YEVON AND SENDINGS }
Prayers to Yevon are conducted with a gesticulation that starts with the hands out to either side before bringing them into the chest, as though holding a sphere, and bowing. This evolved from a blitzball ritual. Additionally, summoners are obligated to perform the Sending for the deceased. This is a ritual dance that sends the pyreflies of the deceased on their way to the Farplane, preventing the pyreflies from coalescing into a fiend.

This evolved from a blitzball ritual. Additionally, summoners are obligated to perform the Sending for the deceased.

{ TEMPLES }
Temples of Yevon are found throughout Spira. At the heart of the temples there is the Chamber of the Fayth, a room that contains a Fayth. A statue houses the willingly-given human soul. The Summoners commune with those souls and can be granted the power of an Aeon. There are five official temples of Yevon throughout Spira; Bevelle (Home of Bahamut), Macalania (Home of Shiva), Djose (Home of Ixion), Kilika (Home of Iftit) and Besaid (Home of Valefor). There are two lost temples of Yevon; Remien (Home of the Magus Sisters/Found in the Calm lands) and Baaj (Home of Anima/Baaj is the submerged ruins). Finally there is also the Cavern of the Stollen Fayth (Home of Yojimbo/Found in the Calm lands).

Blitzball is one of the very few ways that the people of Spira spend time in a recreational manner. It is a game that is played in a giant orb of water. There are two teams, each with an offense and defense. The goal is to get more points than the other team by the end of the game. To score points you must get the ball in the net.

Aeons are obtained by completing each Cloister of Trials at each of Spira's temples. An Aeon is the physical manifestation of the Fayth's dreams. A Fayth communicates with summoners who pray to them within the Chamber of the Fayth, and this can establish a link between the Fayth and the Summoner. Using the link, a Fayth gives their dream a physical form, an Aeom. Aeons are powerful creatures only a summoner can use in battle. Most Aeons resemble their respective Fayth, so it can be assumed that the Aeom takes on aspects of the person whose soul is seal within the Fayth Statue.

{ THE FINAL AEON }
The final Aeon is created from someone who shared a deep bond with the Summoner. The Aeon is intended to be used only once, during the final battle with Sin, in the ritual called The Final Summoning. The Aeon has enough power to pierce Sin's hard shell and defeat Sin. Once this happens Yu Yevon emerges from Sin and takes control of the Final Aeon to kill the Summoner. Yu Yevon uses this Aeon to rebuild Sin. The time it takes to rebuild is known as the Calm.
