Doma certainly has the most visible wave of refugees thanks to the MSQ and NINJAS, but the crowd of refugees outside Ul'dah and the cobbled together town of Little Ala Mhigo imply that there's still refugees of other sorts. Most of them, I believe, are Ala Mhigan while Garlean defectors would most likely try to stay under the radar due to the conflicts between Garlemald and the Eorzean Alliance.Â
3. I, personally, like good names. I stuck to the Lalafellan method for Chachan since I love the musical approach to their naming conventions, despite the fact that he's also Doman. Along with that, I've seen plenty of what I'm assuming are Domans using very Japanese style names, so I'm sure you'll be fine enough with whatever you go with as long as it isn't... like... Russian or something.
6. Chachan is from Doma! You can actually read all about him in the wiki page in my signature! He's a Lalafell, though, so having a Hyur relative would require some Lucy-levels of 'splainin' ta do. Still, I count myself among the probably many people willing to help you out where we can.
Hope that helps, and may I extend a super-early "Welcome to Balmung" if I don't run across you on the big day!
Thank you! Very much appreciated. The Lalafellin naming structure seems very preserved in their societies, so I think you made the right choice. They're native to Thanalan, as a race, I think I remember reading--so I'm guessing your lala ancestors must have emigrated to Doma themselves at some point way back.
I'm actually not set on hyur, I just favor them because I like to try all the jobs and find hyur the most 'standard' looking race that doesn't skew visually toward magical or physical jobs (in my own silly head). I ended up with an Elvaan as my final main in XI and was obsessed with Tarus and not only their awesome names but ridiculously cute rhyming speech tics, haha.
I'll be reading your profile, too! Thanks again!
