That sounds splendid, Eva! That's the one thing I've really been wanting to do - contrasting what others have written for themselves within the breadth of FF14's canon, and linking my stuff with theirs. Like plenty of others, I've tried to write an extra-canonical origin for Yeldir that avoids interfering with anyone else's works by virtue of isolation, which naturally fits into the Duskwight theme. It'd be fun if we all did a map at some point, as well.
I don't have time to do a lengthy write-up at this exact moment (and I need a bit of time to review the new lore that has been released since I last played), but I will say that it plays on the canonical statement that the Elezen were the original inhabitants of Eorzea, before the (perceived) invasion by the Hyur.
I've been trying correlate the Hyur migration and the subsequent dispersal of the Elezen civilization with the astral and umbral cycles - with partial success. Assuming I ever get around to really fleshing out Yeldir's story arc (and my interest increases with every Duskwight I meet =P), his story will feature this as a strong driving element - particularly the study of what his people retain in the seclusion of their cavern-homes, and how that relates to what they've lost.
I think I'll gather up what I've noted reading about Eorzea's history, and how it relates to the Elezen, into a thread somewhere - when I have more free time. (I'm moving soon, so I'm dreadfully busy!)
EDIT: I feel like I owe Oskar some proper recognition for his greetings. Hello! Thanks for posting. I notice most of you regulars are in Everwatch. What can you tell me about it?
