Considering their place in SB, what room do they actually have to RP otherwise? Because it sounds like.... Show Content SB: Raen/Ruby Sea spoilers They're just in their lil underwater paradise, untouched by society and kept pure and all that. It sounds like you'll never or rarley discover Raen's outside of it... do they go to Kugane or venture outside of it often or at all? My friend and I actually had a very in depth conversation about Raen in the lore, and I don't think their backstory options are as "boxed in" as the MSQ portrays. Show Content Spoiler While the only Raen "city" we see is the secluded underwater one, I think there are many strong implications of Raen coming from other sources as well. Prior to Stormblood, the dev lore stated that the Raen (as a culture) may have started in seclusion, but are now known for having integrated with general Doman society. Even though the tiny village outside of Doma didn't have any Raen, other little villages (or Doma offshoots) are mentioned but not shown. I think it's very likely that there were Raen in Doma proper during it's hayday, but I think their strong cultural sense of honor and tradition caused a majority of them to remain loyal to Kien and the Resistance. I can't really imagine the Raen, as a culture, cowtowing and scraping at the Garlean's boots like the villagers we're shown. So I think it's likely that the Raen around Doma: 1.) Joined with the Resistance, and we all know how that went in terms of Doma. 2.) Became a pirate in the Ruby Sea upon the invasion (and it is pointedly mentioned that many of the pirates are refugees, and there are a handful of Raen among them.) 3.) Are living alongside Hyur Domans in the other villages that are mentioned but not shown. 4.) Are also prevalently represented in Kugane, and I don't think they were recently migrated. TL;DR: I think it's reasonable to assume that Raens have been integrated with various areas of Othard for quite some time, likely generations, as opposed to them all being born and raised in the one secluded city we're shown. But I'm no expert - and I'm reciting this all over mobile from memory - so feel free to school me if I'm totally wrong!
