Though I've done some of the main storyline (only level 17), I did start in Ul'dah. As an addendum to my questions:
- Why are there refugees in Ul'dah?
- Where are most of the Ul'dah refugees from?
They're also present in Gridania and Limsa Lominsa as well.
There's a large number of RPers who play Highlander refugees as well (Aya included!)
Edit: Just to mention, not all Ala Mhigans were Hyur, just most. Sounssy's character (one of our resident lore masters) is a Miqo'te Ala Mhigan refugee who became a Limsan pirate! (Maelstrom at least!)
