Show Content SpoilerIt would be interesting to find out the origins of the connection between Gridania and Ishgard.  The story goes that the founders of Ishgard were there on a "holy mission," but we know from the MSQ that the story we were told is a fabrication. Gridania only got its start approximately 500 years prior to the Calamity, which is at least 500 years after the start of the Dragonsong War.  But prior to that, what we know know as Gridanians were, I believe, living in Gelmorra?  And at that time, it would seem that there wasn't a serious division between Wildwood and Duskwight (at least, according to the story we are told), so perhaps there was some intermarriage/cultural exchange between Gelmorra and the early Ishgard? This could explain the presence of Duskwights in one of the noble houses. Additionally, I seem to recall that the Haukke Manor lore mentions that the house was owned by a female Duskwight of the nobility...but it pretty much would make 0 sense for her to be "nobility" of Gridania, as they hate Duskwights so intensely. So perhaps she was Ishgardian nobility or Gelmorran nobility and simply had lands in Central Shroud? { Wiki ~ Tumblr } Until I die I'll sing these songs On the shores of Babylon Still looking for a home In a world where I belong Where the weak are finally strong Where the righteous right the wrongs Still looking for a home In a world where I belong -- Switchfoot "Where I Belong"
