Hyur-Elezen special connection

It is known how societies with a majority of elezens (Gridania and Ishgard) are widely against outsiders than other nations, like Ul'dah and Limsa, both nations tho, has an interesting union of mid-landers and elezens as rulers, you may notice in the Gridania flag the twin snakes symbolize hyurans and elezens, in Ishgard hyuran is a minority of the population while other races are non-existent.
In Gridania you will see forestborn hyurans (most midlanders) and elezens living in peace and being suspicious of other ethnicities like duskwights, highlanders and even miqo'tes, and it's interesting, I don't see other races having this sort of relationship like hyurans have with elezens, just a thought. :rolleyes:

At the very least, I can add a little context.

After the floods of the Sixth Umbral Era almost 1600 years ago, a great deal of Eorzean history was (yet again) lost. A great deal of Eorzea's population was (yet again) displaced.

In the dawn of the Sixth Astral Era, as the floodwaters receded, the Elezen were the first to return (in great numbers, at least). They found Eorzea to be a beautiful, unspoiled landscape filled with mysterious aetheryte crystals around which they built their societies. They believed that Eorzea was theirs alone, a gift from the Twelve.

Over the centuries, the Hyur arrived in three successive great migratory waves, displacing the Elezen from their "promised land" and sparking a great deal of conflict. Many of the Elezen were driven into the deepwood forests of Eorzea (and these Elezen became known as the "Wildwood"). Ishgard's history, however, was already well underway in Coerthas, putting their isolation into motion.

In the Black Shroud, the Elementals of the Twelveswood cast the races of man out, driving them underground. This common antagonist is why the Elezen and Hyur of the area began to set their differences aside and work together, building the underground city of Gelmorra.

Eventually, the Gelmorrans were able to develop modern-day conjury and begin to entreat the Elementals, forging a pact with them to live above once more. However, many Elezen chose to stay behind in Gelmorra, which collapsed as most of its population left and maintenance declined.

So the Elezen, already wary of other races for taking their "promised land" from them, were even further divided in the Twelveswood, between those that abandoned Gelmorra to ruin and those that spurned the city of Gridania to live in crumbling ruins and caves (giving rise to the "Duskwight" distinction, a continuation of the subterranean Gelmorrans).

Now the Gridanians are wary of pretty much anyone who might anger the Elementals, including the Keepers of the Moon Miqo'te and Duskwight Elezen, who are often reduced to banditry and poaching to make ends meet in the Shroud.

The fact that in the middle of the Sixth Astra Era, Limsa Lominsa, Belah'dia (later Ul'dah and Sil'dih), Ishgard and Gyr Abania became magnets for specific races and clans and then entered an age of war with each other only fueled the racial animosity.

The common enemy of Garlemald and the rise of the Age of Adventure(rs) is pretty much all that's changed that. Think of the Greek city-states; unique nations constantly making and breaking alliances against one another that suddenly didn't have so much dividing them once Persia invaded.
