~also thanks to you saying you read my fail page earlier I literally wasted 2 hours nearly finishing my own wiki~ @-@
but lore wise i think it all worked. I can't say much on the caves as i know lore says duskies live in caves but all npc reports in current game dont point to this XD Maybe someday we'll get a small duskwight cave city or town :3
thanks! well that's the story I helped make which ties into mine which also has a fair bit of that segregation we were talking about:

I did read it! Still, at least you got something done! I'm pretty sure once you get the ball rolling you'd come up with something amazing. Â I'm following you too.

The devs have stated that cross-breeds are possible, but rare. If that's due to social taboo or just poor fertility between different races is anyone's guess. Personally I think it might be the latter because we never really see Eorzeans being overtly racist.
So... have you never done any of the quests in the game, or spent any time in the cities? Because overtly racist Eorzeans are kind of all over the place.
This is right outside a major guild in Gridania. Gridania's general xenophobic attitude is colored by the fact that it has constructed itself as a city of Wildwoods, Midlanders, and Padjal- and don't see room for much of anybody else. Duskwights, Keepers of the Moon, and Highlanders live on the margins of the society there, and are visibly worse off. And they're still doing better than the Highlanders in Quarrymill.Â
As Freelancewizard noted already, there's also the issue of every sentient race outside of the playable five being called "beastmen" and viewed as less worthy/intelligent, distrusted because of their appearance and cultural practices. Merlwyb screws the Kobolds over on a legitimate deal and acts justified in it, and like them retaliating is somehow inappropriate as a response to her actions- and it seems like the Mamool Ja are also victims of this treatment. They wouldn't be hanging around Bronze Lake if they weren't hired and then suddenly let go by Limsa Lominsa.
This is GREAT! For my story to be feasible I need there to be an overt segregation of the clans/races especially coming from the Duskwights which is the main motivation of the character created. care to give mine a little proof reading just to see if i'm not too far from lore?
