The effects of the war are still visible in modern Spira from the machina ruins in Besaid, the Mi'ihen Highroad, Bikanel Island, and the Calm Lands. As the war's end had brought forth Sin, Yunalesca established the faith of Yevon to quell the populace's despair and bring hope that one day Sin could be banished from Spira. As told in Final Fantasy X-2.5 ~Eien no Daishou~, the Al Bhed were blamed for the war and became social pariahs, many being executed as scapegoats for the crisis. For the next 1,000 years, the Al Bhed would live in separate communities, detested by the followers of Yevon.
