Quote:I didn't realize Ishgard was an Elezen city, I always thought it belonged to the Hyur.
Keep in mind that Hyur are very new to Eorzea in the grand scheme of things. The first Hyur to visit Eorzea were all Highlanders and this only happened 1000 years ago. Circa the Year 500 of the Sixth Astral Era. Midlanders came later. Ishgard was founded around the same time as the first migration but Hyur and Elezen did not mix well during this time. There were many many wars between the two races because the Elezen believed that Hyur were trying to steal their rightful lands. And to an extent, they were.
Quote:Is it still possible that there were Miqo'te in the North?
It is possible but unlikely. If you note the locations of current Miqo'te settlements they are all along the southern coasts of Aldenard. Limsa, Ul'dah, Sagolii Desert. So we can assume that the Miqo'te crossed into Eorzea across the ice bridges from the south. Now the Keepers of the Moon miqo'te are said to have wandered Eorzea more and most now make their home within the Black Shroud which is fairly northern. It is possible that a Keeper of the Moon family could have made it so far as Ala Mhigo. The racial distribution there is mostly Highlander Hyur but from 1.0 cutscenes we see evidence of a small Miqo'te population making their home there as well. It is entirely possible that your Garlean character could wipe out an entire family or smaller tribe of Miqo'te that lived in either Ala Mhigo or the Black Shroud, since the Garleans invaded both areas 15 years ago.
