In the year 1572 of the Sixth Astral Era, as the Seventh Umbral Calamity approached, a strange meteorite fell to the earth on the outskirts of Owl's Nest, a quiet mountain hamlet located in the eastern lowlands of Coerthas. From the steaming mass of rock emerged a monster of flame and fury, which came to be called a Bombard. It ballooned in size as it lay waste to the surrounding countryside, and as it approached Ishgard, a brave contingent of Temple Knights sallied forth to repel it. Although they fought valiantly, their lives were lost when the Bombard exploded with terrible force, leaving the Gates of Judgement threatening to collapse and the holy capital shaken and vulnerable.

Soon after this incident, similar meteors began to fall across Eorzea in distressing numbers. The leaders of each nation gathered with haste, and in secret commissioned the Adventurers' Guild to assemble a group of heroic warriors and strategists to combat this strange new menace. Thus were the Cascadiers born, and in order to keep the citizens of the realm from losing heart in face of yet another threat, the Moonfire Faire—known as the "Firefall Faire" in its nascent form—exploded into being.

From then on, each time the Bombards appeared, the Moonfire Faire would match their wrath with revelry, making their arrival a source of happiness rather than dread. Even now, long since the last appearance of the Bombards, the Adventurers' Guild holds the event with regularity as part of their efforts to stoke the fires of interest in the guild. In recent years, it has taken to using Costa del Sol as a staging ground, under the patronage of the wealthy merchant Gegeruju.

The Moonfire Faire, formerly known as the Firefall Faire (during Legacy), is a seasonal event held during the northern hemisphere's summer season. It incorporates elements of the real life Japanese summer festival, Bon.
