Seldi didn't notice the Au-Ra at all at first. She barely pays attention to other people, and so probably didn't even realize they were all that different until she had to talk to one directly.

On top of that, her lifestyle was - until recently - so isolated that as far as she knew, "the horned people" were just people that had always been around, and she simply hadn't run across them yet. After all, no one else seems to be alarmed, so it must be a normal thing, right?

War Siren is mostly unaffected. She just figures these new refugees are just trying to make a name for them selves being new and all and that's why they're everywhere. As long as they don't take jobs from her, she's okay with it.

I've met Au Ra who claim that they've lived in Eorzea for a long time, so my response to Au Ra has been a bit of a retcon.Â I also find the "oh wow a new race how interesting" RP to be uninteresting so I'm mostly having Lilia passively take notice of the race.

Of course she'll be ignorant of them and their preferences and their natures, and will form an opinion on them gradually the way she has been doing the other strange races (i.e. the ones not indigenous to her native Ul'dah).Â But as far as the "immigration" itself forming part of her racial opinion, I decided not to.

While I understand your decision, I will also say that by treating Aura as immigrants would not be "imposing your own lore" as nowhere does it say in the lore than Au-Ra are natively Eorzean. In the lore it explicitly states that they are from Othard, NOT Eorzea. People from Othard did not have any reason (or almost any reason) to arrive in Eorzea until after the Imperials took over.

Yep.

If you want to play an Eorzean, play an Eorzean race, etc.
