Spira, Sin and Summoners
In the game's world of Spira, a terrible creature called Sins ravages the lands, killing hundreds of thousands of people and destroying whole cities. Priests called summoners go on pilgrimages to all the temples of Spira's central religion of Yevon to acquire the aid of great spirits called Fayth who manifest their power as powerful creatures called Aeons. Once a summoner reaches the end of the pilgrimage they acquire a powerful Final Summon which can stand on-par with Sin's power and defeat it, however even if defeated Sin is reborn again after ten years. Though the summoners only delays Sin for a decade of peace, refered to as the Calm, the summoners still consider such a quest worth the trouble. Yevon teaches that if the people truly repent their sins eventually Sin itself with stop being reborn and a Calm will be eternal. It is all to common for summoners to die or lose their nerve on pilgrimages and so all those who try are seen as heores of the land. Summoners who complete their pilgrimage and defeat Sin are titled high summoners and venerated by the people of Yevon as saint-like figures.

Braska's Pilgrimage
Braska was an acolyte of Yevon who was training to be part of the church of Yevon, however after his wife's death he put his training into becoming a summoner instead. Though Braska needed to leave his daughter behind he still undertook the pilgrimage if only to keep her safe, a common dilemma among summoners. A summoner is required to bring a guardian with them for protection and to aid in their prayers during the Final Summoning, Braska took with him his long time friend Auron who had givien up his training as a monk of the church to be a guardian just as Braska had given up his chances of being a priest to become a summoner. Before their departure though Braska and Auron met a man called Ject, father of the game's protagonist Tidus. Ject had been thrown into Spira by Sin from the world of Zanarken once he heard a summoner's quest ends in Zanarken where the final summoning takes place he was eager to help Braska. Braska went on his pilgrimage with Auron and Ject and brought about the Calm, however even after completing his quest Braska dies long before the events of the game and is dubbed High-Summoner after his death. It is his daughter Yuna's goal to follow in her father's foot-steps.
