Also-I've noticed there are Hyur in Ishgard. Any idea where they came from or do they live in surrounding areas?
You might find this thread on Ishgardian Social Structure very helpful! It covers the High Houses and Lesser Nobility and where Hyur and Dragoons fit into that hierarchy.
As for Dragoons themselves, they are very simply knights and nobles who have slain at least one true dragon and shown proof of the deed. Slaying a dragon awards a significant amount of prestige and oftentimes is used to propel lowborns into positions of Lesser Nobility.
Hope this helps! ^^
