RE: The Au Ra biology, origin and general speculation thread! - Eve Malusion - 04-27-2015
We've got some lore from the benchmark.
Raen:
Auri creation myth tells of a Dawn Father and a Dusk Mother from whom all the spoken races of Eorzea descended. The Raen believe their veins to run thick with the blood of the former - their brilliant white scales and iron wills serving as proof of this divine lineage.
Unlike their sister clan, the Xaela, who bloody the land with endless tribal conflict, the Raen have embraced a life of tranquillity and solitude, long abandoning the nomadic lifestyle of their ancestors to settle the deep valleys of Othard's mountainous eastern reaches. Only on rare occasions will one emerge from the valley mists to seek adventure in realms afar.
Xaela:
Auri creation myth tells of a Dawn Father and a Dusk Mother from whom all the spoken races of Eorzea descended. The Xaela believe their veins to run thick with the blood the latter - their lustrous black scales and fiery wills serving as proof of this divine lineage.
Unlike their sister clan, the Raen, who lead solitary lives hidden behind the savage peaks of Othard's eastern reaches, the Xaela are free spirits who roam the vast western steppe in close-knit tribes hunting, gathering, and warring as their ancestors have for countless generations.
