Hello. I am trying to come up with some ideas for a RPC, but I'm new to the game and I'm not incredibly familiar with the lore. At the moment, I am considering RPing a Highlander thaumaturge, but I have a few questions. 1. It seems like the majority of Highlanders were refugees who fled Ala Mhigo and traveled to Thanalan / Ul'dah, so I assume my RPC would also belong to this group. Would the Arrzaneth Ossuary allow a refugee from Ala Mhigo to join their organization? I read that refugees were discriminated against in Ul'dah, so I'm not sure if a refugee would be allowed to join a faction with a lot of political power. 2. If my character would not be allowed to join the Ossuary, is there another feasible way for him to learn thaumaturgy? 3. Would my character be looked down upon by other Highlanders? They seem to be a race/clan that values physical prowess, as they have a bunch of warriors and mercenaries and stuff. Is there any lore about their opinions regarding magic?
