As said before, there is always the possibility that the occasional Mountainfolk would slip through Garlemald's grasp. However, given the nature of their Garlean occupancy (ie. military outposts built on their lands "for defence", the Garleans conditioning the Mountainfolk to believe they are there for their own good, the snowy plains of their homeland being near void of hiding places) it would be immensely difficult for one to escape, or even want to escape.

In relation to RP, I think there are a fair number of Garlean RPers and linkshells/Free Companies alike. So it shouldn't be too hard. (And, if your character is of Garlemald and in Eorzea, it's not like they're going to run around shouting "FOR GARLEMALD! FOR THE EMPIRE!", are they? You're likely to be a spy or some such.)

On that note it is a real shame that the Garlean gear, salute, and mount are all part of the end-game story quests... thats a LOT of leveling to do for some gear and an emote.

Add "Traditionally have long beards" to the racial traits and I'm sold. Though I don't think Squee would ever give lalas long beards.

This I must agree with. Sad

Â However, one can always custom emote and wear gear that looks like it could be Garlean (ie. Dye it red. Tongue

). Though, if you're not wanting to be detected, I reckon you'd wear Eorzean gear.

Haha! That is the one thing that separates them from Final Fantasy-ified dwarves, I suppose. Feel free to give yours facial hair.Â Moogle

Â (Oddly enough, I never noticed the likeness to dwarves until people said.)

I never thought of creating an entirely new sub-race for my lalafell, but Queen would fit in perfectly as a Mountainfolk.

In fact, if you're alright with it, I'd like to consider her as such in her Wiki and info. Â =O Â It makes so much more sense than her being a Dunesfolk who is not from the desert.

I know this post is months old, but I just happened upon it aha.

Marisa · **10-04-2014, 03:29 AM**

I was a bit concerned when I saw that you were making a fan-race, but I honestly can't find a thing wrong with it. I think it's a great idea! Although, by your naming conventions, shouldn't your character be Neneru Raji'neru? Looks like on page one you said you'd named him Neneru Raji.Â

Also, I love that they've evolved to be smaller than normal lalafells. Mostly because, given how natural selection usually works, this means that all the bigger moutain folk died off because they all got stuck at some pointÂ Laugh

Apologies for bringing this old old post from the grave!

I was curious if such a race would still even be viable after all that has happened in the MSQ and what not.

What are the thoughts on those who might happen to see this due to my little bump of a post? It would be a shame for something a bit creative to be lost in the void if people could perchance make an interesting character concept.

Oh my god, this idea is amazing. I love it. I'm actually tempted to transfer another character... or a few.

As for MSQ, I think it still would be. Maybe even some mountainfolk could be from Othard and have lived sort of alongside maybe the Xaela.

Zanther · **04-03-2017, 10:22 AM**

Interesting idea and almost tempted to make one...if I had time to do such. I barely have time to play my two characters I already have...
