Also-I've noticed there are Hyur in Ishgard. Any idea where they came from or do they live in surrounding areas?
As for Hyur in Ishgard, the city was founded by Elezen but I do not have the time at which more Hyur began to make there way there. Culturally I think it is agreed upon that Hyur are accepted, though still looked down on socially/politically.
I don't know if they're particularly looked down upon, but they don't have that much political power. There are a lot of humans in the city, however, and based on their various locations throughout both Foundation and the Pillars, as well as their varying styles of dress, they definitely occupy positions going from the poor, to the wealthy merchant-class.
They are second-citizens in the sense that they aren't allowed to have any political power (all positions of great political importance are held firmly by Elezen), but I don't think we have any examples of them experiencing any great amount of discrimination, at least not from what I've seen.
