Because everyone seems to have a different opinion about them being around in Ishgard, and being one of the existing high houses, let me know what you think!
Personal opinion/theory: Duskwights are around in Ishgard, however Duskwight have not a single thing to do with the founding of the four high houses as we know them today.
Why Virella? You cave-dweller hater. Why of course! Duskwight only exist for 450 years, seeming the split off from the Wildwood when Gridania got created, so that rules out Duskwight origin for the high houses right away, seeming Ishgard is 1000 years old when it got founded! (and it is stated that the Ishgardians are of a Wildwood clan in any case)
So that theory personally died out for me rather quickly when I started to think about it logically, and with that, wiping away that the Dzemael were Duskwight from the start.
However, I imagine they have been marrying Duskies, or at least gaining children, as the current heirs of Dzemael appear to be Duskwight! What is interesting, perhaps marrying outsiders is not that big of a deal then, as long they are the same race and dedicated to the cause? Because if we go back to the 1000 years ago scenario, there were no Duskwight yet, so they must have been married (or at least one of the Dzemael women had a slip up at the very least) into the family line at some point, and who knows, perhaps became the dominant 'gene' in the family so to speak!
*Flops*
Let me know what you think! Give me your crazy theories about Duskies in Ishgard, I'd love to hear them.
