There's a couple parts in the lore where it basically says the Duskwight retreated from the surface in order to live a peaceful life away from conflict and among themselves. Why would they retreat from surface wars only to create eternal clan conflicts and inner warfare within their own kind? Maybe a family or two with disagreements between themselves, but honestly, it sure looks like everything points to the opposite. In fact, I'd say the the only real thing Duskwights have going for them is internal bonds and loyalty. If everyone else thinks you're scum and wretched, who else are you going to turn to except your own kind?
Again, you retreat from the surface to find peace among yourselves, then you create bitter struggle and warfare with yourselves. Not sure that situation is the plight of the Duskwights on a larger scale, based on the above comments. Rather, I think they know their kind is all they can depend on. They will feed on the other races, hence their reputation as thieves an pillagers, but I don't see anything to support that large-scale violence or animosity occurs within the Duskwights against others of their like.
I really enjoy reading the cultural rituals and symbolism you've used in your background, Eva. I delved quite a bit into that sort of development as an Elin in Tera, to take them away from the simple cutsie-character everyone took them as
. Those kinds of things really breath life into a people, and as I further explore what it is to be a Duskwight, I'll definitely delve into that further 
. My Nymeia's Apron-String" was a lifeline the Clan Miners used to trace the route to the furthest extension of their dig. It was named as such because it was used to not only mark the direct path out of the depths, but would also help locate their remains should a collapse occur, so, like fate, it was going to bring them out of the tunnels alive or dead...it mattered not which, for its purpose

Quote:"Centuries ago, a number of Elezen sought out a life of peace and seclusion in the depths of Eorzea's caves and caverns."
Quote:"while the Duskwight Elezen withdrew to caves and sub-terrain, opting instead to avoid all contact with any but their own."
