Yeah, just realised that it is only Limsa where I've seen Qiqirn and Goblin merchants in the city (and some scaly things in the tax line at Mealvaan's Gate). Other cities they're all outside the city itself.
I kind of wondered how the Keepers of the Moon fit into the whole pact thing too. A lot of them were specifically mentioned as not being part of Gridania, yet they obviously have not been kicked out of the Shroud by the elementals.
As for the Garleans, all they seem to be interested in is taking over other lands and forcing them to accept their rule and their ways. They didn't like the Primals because they were competition.
That makes me think about the Hearers' gifts too. I remember E-Sumi-Yan saying that Sylphie inherited hers from her mother, so it doesn't appear as if people are judged by the elementals and then given the gift. It seems to be a natural talent that anyone might have, so I guess you could have bad Hearers who use it for their own gain. Maybe before the Calamity the elementals gave those kind of Hearers a kick up the arse lol.
