You're quite welcome! Â As for your question, given what we know and to quote from that Tumblr post:
So, at best we can infer from this that Gelmorra existed at least five hundred years ago, but that the recent Calamity (5-6 years ago now?) had unearthed all these ruins. Â While it might be too much to say your character lived there, I'm sure -- if ancestry could be traced back that far -- that one could claim a Gelmorran heritage.
Ishgard has existed for 1000+ years (hi, Dragonsong War) so it may be possible that there is such information available through the Scholasticate there, though I believe the library is closely-guarded, so gaining access to said information may or may not be readily available. Â So, it seems plausible to me that an Ishgardian-born Duskwight would have better luck with the ideal that you're going for. Â (And possibly give them a basis for their belief if they're of a minor noble house in Ishgard.) Â That's purely my own conjecture, though, to do with as you like (or not.) Â ^_^
Quote:“For half a thousand years, the ruins of Gelmorra have served as a necropolis, but the Calamity has Gridanians eyeing the underground city and murmuring about a new kind of curb appeal-curbing the chances of being flattened by a meteor, to be exact. Large slabs are sought for a little renovation.†(Location, Location, mining leve issued by Rolandaix de Nevelle)
