It is a lot of liberties, I agree. However when SE gives next to nothing about a homeland of a race, an big part of what makes a character in my opinion, I view it almost as a personal obligation to fill in the blanks with compelling lore that others can either buy into, or simply ignore. This is all fiction anyway, north-west is vague, my ideas have no merit outside of what people assign to them. This is merely the world I've crafted from which my character has emerged. Hope SE gives you guys something more than last time around.
Have a good oneÂ
That's not so bad, then. I just needed to confirm that all Duskwight didn't mean all Duskwight. I like the setup you've got, and I can only begin to imagine how it's inspired your -- and apparently Eva's -- characters. Considering that every time a man in the tribe wanted to have kids he'd have to go out on a violent trip to grab himself a wife first, the population of those northern clans probably stayed pretty low. Of course that's just me guessing at every Duskwight couple having two or three kids, but also killing two or three from a neighboring clan in the taking of the wife beforehand, which would keep things more or less at equilibrium.
So what we end up with is this handful of clans in the Northwest, removed not only from the overland but from massive swaths of the rest of the Duskwight population. In their separate subterranean world, unknown to the rest of Eorzea, they developed an entire culture full of religion, art, political nuance, and this served as the backdrop for generation after generation of great tales that live on in the hymns they sing, but hymns only heard in that same world. Because Linkshells don't work, there is a very definite boundary between this world and that one, and you cannot bring this world with you when you go there. It's a foreign and alien place inside of Eorzea, secluded and secret, but ancient and dynamic.
Honestly, I find it beautiful.Â
 So, Oskar! This leaves the question: are you back? Or did you just come by to tell us a story?
