And any helpful tips or information about anything you might think could help me out, would be lovely~ :3
Hey there Alette! I think I can give a few short-hand answers to some of your questions, but I'm also going to go ahead and link you to a bunch of lore stuff if you're wanting to read up more on everything! ^^
1] What areas got the worst of the Calamity?
Basically anywhere you see large fragments of Dalamud. West Shroud, northern Thanalan, Mor Dhona, lower La Noscea near Moraby.
-Settlements In Eorzea Then and Now
2] How long ago was the Calamity?
Officially, the Calamity occurred 5 years ago. However, time passage is kinda strange to figure out, so I'll give you these links. One explains time passage, the other gives a rough timeline of pertinent events that lead up to the Calamity.
-Time Passage in FFXIV
-A Timeline of the Garlean Invasion
3] Surnames?
This is pretty much completely up to you. If you want an Elezen surname due to adoption/raising or if you don't, both are fine. If you need help with race lore or the naming conventions, this page should help.
-The Five Races Lore
Hope this helps! ^^ Lemme know if you have more questions!
