Krakka Root needs to be updated

Current description says that it's generally avoided by the 5 races...shouldn't it be 6 now?

Maybe the 6th race enjoys it?

5 out of 6 races agree; you should avoid this stuff

This keeps coming up, but no. 'The five races' refers to the five 'Spoken' races seen as native to Eorzea by scholars. Nothing changes just because PCs can be Au Ra now - that has no effect on the population as a whole, because while there may be legions of Au Ra PCs, I'm not sure there are even ten Au Ra NPCs in the whole game, so they wouldn't be widely known or even come to mind to the average Eorzean.

Besides, the 'Five Races' as used in-game already glaringly omits the five beast tribes despite them clearly being sentient, and in some cases allies or trading partners to the city-states. Pure blooded Garleans might even count as a separate race themselves, so...yeah. It's 'Five Races' for a reason and should stay that way.

Au Ra aren't native to Eorzea, so they aren't counted in the "five races."
