My character is a Keeper of the Moon, and she grew up in the Shroud as well, but in a small family group. It was just a cluster of four log cabins in the woods. I simply referred to it as her family's homestead, and it's definitely off screen. There's very few villages or communities in the outlying areas around the three city states in game. Most of what are there are just quest hubs, with an aetheryte, chocobo stalls, and a handful of small huts or buildings. There's plenty of room for off screen interpretation.
