Sorry if this has been asked before, but I did a quick search and didn't see anything that stuck out. So, I'm planning a Hellsguard character, got his look picked out and everything. I did a web search and this is what I've been able to gather about our dusky-toned giant friends.
They are very reverent to the fiery mountains of their home, believing it to be a gate to the underworld. (Patron god is Nald'Thal? He's the god of the underworld isn't he?)
They send second and third sons out into the world to make a name for themselves.
They are very much a merit and honor-based society of warriors, choosing to even throw away their family name in order to stand on their own accomplishments.
They are capable as mages as well as fighters, lore-wise.
They often act as mercenaries and bodyguards in their search for glory.
Their numbers are low in Eorzea.
For some reason they view Alchemy as blasphemy against the gods (...Does this seem weird to anyone else?)
Is that about it? I'm having trouble figuring out how the religion works in Eorzea. I know it's polytheistic, with certain factions and cities having patron gods like the city-states of classical Greece. Is the PC's Guardian like a personal patron god? Do certain races and classes have particular gods that they gravitate to? What does worship of these gods even look like?
