As mentioned, they did have Primals though we can assume now that being under Garlean control means whatever Primals they did have they are long gone now. As far as culture, geography, environments, etc go we haven't the faintest clue. For all we know Othard is comprised of entirely non-Eorzean races, which would make playing any of the races currently available not possible.
I'm all for originality but sometimes an idea just isn't feasible. You could end up making a Lalafell from Othard only to find out Lalafell have never set foot on Othard soil in the entirety of Hydaelyn history and your entire storyline suddenly becomes null and void.
I am pretty sure the Garlean Empire includes all races, with a tendency towards Hyur domination. so there probably are Lalas from there, though at this point s/he'd likely be a defector.
