For one thousand years Sin had roamed Spira with one purpose: to bring destruction to any living thing. Sin was discovered to be the armor of Yu Yevon by a summoner named Yuna and her guardians. There was only one known way of destroying Sin. A summoner, a sorcerer/sorceress that can summon beasts known as aeons, can make a pilgrimage to the ruined city of Zanarkand. There, the summoner must offer one of her guardians to Yunalesca, a unsent who was the first summoner to defeat Sin, so she may forge the guardian into a powerful aeon known as the Final Aeon, one with enough power to destroy Sin. But there was a flaw; although the outer shell that is Sin would be destroyed, Yu Yevon would possess the final aeon to create a new Sin consisting of the soul of the sacrificed guardian as its core. A period of time would then pass where this "baby Sin" would grow and not threaten the citizens of Spira. This period, which is variable in length, is known as the Calm.

Additionally, the summoner dies after destroying Sin. Contrary to popular belief, this is caused not by the Final Aeon itself attacking the summoner but by the fact that a summoner must give his/her very life energy to evoke the Final Aeon into being. It was also believed that it may be the actual possesion of the Final Aeon by Yu Yevon. The strong mind link the summoner and the final aeon share is instantly severed which is the act that results in the death of the summoner. Maester Seymour Guado desired to use this to his advantage by attempting to wed Lady Yuna so that when they reached Zanarkand, Yuna would make him the fayth of the final aeon and eventually Sin. By doing this, Seymour could end the suffering of Spira by destroying all of its inhabitants.
