That said, yeah, I should had said Ala Mhigan, but the day I see an Ala Mhigan roe is the day I will be very confused. No one ever seems to roleplay non-highlanders from Ala Mhigo, with the exception of a few miqo'te I've seen around.(10-02-2015, 08:55 AM)Virella Douront Wrote: When it comes down to roes though, I find their lore a bit lacking. Highlanders have this amazing story you can work with, whereas I find it for roes a bit lacking. Elezen (especially Ishgardians) have an amazing story to work with as well. If only roes had a bit more to talk about but "Gah I got kicked out of my house as a Hellsguard/Yarrr pirate things as a Seawolf" I would be more inclined to roleplay them. That said I do have a lovely femroe alt who I enjoy roleplaying, but my lanky twig and drunken monk simply get the attention above her due to lore being more interesting to me personally.
Highlanders have less lore than Roegadyn, considering that Roegadyn have their own racial language and explicitly-stated origins. We can't claim the story of Ala Mhigo as 'Highlander Lore' in the same sense, as Ala Mhigo was a nation state comprised of varying races. While it's probably(but still speculation) that AM's population was mostly Highlander, we have next to no lore on the race itself.
But if we're honest, the lore behind all of the races is very lacking, and it saddens me constantly.
 It is not much, but surely more then roes have.
