Au Ra Raen Class

I play a Raen and I main summoner but that's just a personal preference. Like other people have pointed out, Raen are fairly spread out and have a tendency to integrate into other cultures so theoretically anything can work with them.

I honestly don't remember the distribution in the Steppes.
But based on my memory the Raen seem to have mostly been represented as Eastern.
So NIN and SAM.

So, we've seen two prominent Raen settlements. The first are around the Ruby Sea, which are VERY distinctly themed around Feudal Japan, which I would say make both Ninja and Samurai top contenders in terms of "general vibe". The second is Thavnair, which certainly isn't explicitly Raen, but *does* seem to have quite a few. However, aside from the Dancer which has *some* roots to the nation, we never actually see it represented during our time there.

So if you're looking for Lore-friendly jobs for the Raen, I would say the Ninja and Samurai are probably the top candidates, personally.

Some members of the Radiant Host wield chakrams so it seems to safe to assume that DNC is something of a standard combat discipline in Thavnair; though perhaps without the deeper connotations of the profession we get involved with.

Sui no Sato, the settlement of Au Ra made up of raen Au Ra who explicitly refuse to fight back against the empire in Stormblood. The ones that do fight with us from the Azem Steppe are xela. And most of the ones we'd seem are also xela, like Sigrudu in Heavensward who is your dark knight trainer. Yugiri was the only notable raen I could remember.

That is literally one isolated settlement. It tells us nothing about how the rest of the population live or what values they hold.

While it's true that we haven't encountered many others in Othard, it's also not enough to extrapolate that all Au Ra are like this. We can only say for certain what the people of Sui-no-Sato are like.

Lauront provided a lorebook quote in post #17 that contradicts the idea that they all live like this.

Sui-no-Sato is also absurdly isolationist, only interacting with the Blue kojin. The Raen we see from Werlyt are nothing like them.
