I know there's not much lore on Thavnair and Thavnarian culture but I was heavily interested. A friend of mine, however, says that Thavnarian roleplayers have a stigma around them? They claimed they played one previously and got a lot of hate for it? Is this common?Â
Hey there Averlin! I have a Thavnairian culinarian and merchant character as well and I can say that she's been very well received by most people I've roleplayed with. So whatever stigma you ran into is certainly not common. I did, however, very recently run into this stigma myself when I was getting the /songbird dance emote in Ul'dah. Normally this character dresses quite conservatively, but I was OOC and I thought the Thav top would look nice with the dance. But I got a /tell not long after from someone saying something along the lines of "woww your archetype does exist" and refused to expound upon that when I asked what he meant. Oh well!
Anywho, go ahead and play a Thavnairian! I've seen very few played in game, though I do know a few. If you're looking for more lore on Thavnair, you might find this link helpful! ^^
