From my recollection, it's less that Ul'dah and Limsa hate one another and more that both of them see the other as a necessary evil they'd like to be rid of. Limsa needs a market but can't serve as one as effective as Ul'dah, and Ul'dah would rather be in charge of all aspects of supply. The conflicts in 1.0 between the Flames and the Maelstrom make it clear that both sides are willing to kick quite a lot of dirt at one another if they think they can actually get away with it.
The city-states of Eorzea, as a rule, do not like one another all that much. There's a strong Greek feeling to them, wherein your city is the good one and the group a few miles down the road is outright evil. That having been said, having a place in both cities is entirely plausible, but you'd be seen as something of an outsider in either.
Onto constructive criticism beyond that.
Thus far, Ryanti's family history definitely feels like the story that the family tells itself. This is not a bad thing. The question is how much of it is absolute fact and how much of it is based entirely upon the endless ego of a large family resting on past laurels. If his family claims to be descended from the Allagan Empire with a long string of genius members, that's great, but it's also the sort of thing that's relying on historical records which are spotty at best and nonexistent at worst. Note that the possibility that these claims are complete nonsense doesn't remove the pressure of being an heir from Ryanti in the slightest, since veracity isn't the first priority of most old money.
