Duskwight Elezen NPCs

I have never seen a npc Duskwight, I feel I know nothing about them.
Am I just mistaken or is this really true?

There is one in Gridania at the lancer's guild being berated by Wildwood to illustrated the hatred/racism between the two.

Otherwise I can't recall any, only because as part of their race lore, they prefer to hide in the shadows and live in seclusion.

ETA: Elezen look very similar anyways so if most NPCs are designed to look plain, chances are we may just not be noticing Duskwight because their skin/hair is more natural and not blue or white.

Not unusual since story-wise, as Lady mentioned, there's a lot of racism and hostility between the Dusk and Wood elves.

Sorry if this was a weird thread here, I just think this is the only clan of a race I've never seen.

You see them, but Duskwights are usually found outside of Gridania... and Wildwoods are indeed a lot more common anyway.

You're fine, it's definitely odd the first time you notice it. I just spoke to my friends too about how odd it is that we don't see many Aura NPCs, but then thinking of their lore, they probably wouldn't generally be the type to just hang around cities and such. Which, idk it may be an easy cover up for laziness, but it works out in a way that it kind of makes the world seem like it's actually formed via lore instead of the lore just being there in concept and not execution.

Another question since I can't tell much differenceo ther than muscle and skin tone, are there any female highlanders? I only ask as I know their model was added later on.

There are a few. For example, there's one in Idyllshire right now telling a male Roe trying to lift a crate to "put [his] back into it" (near the scrip exchangers). They're probably relatively common around Thanalan areas, but I've never stopped to check.

Alys in the Mor Dhona pub is one. There should be some in Little Ala Mhigo too.

Oh, and this person from the Void Ark storyline

Thanks I feel satisfied now.
As a more rare race clan gender combination myself I tend to try to take note of these things, even with npcs. i'm a lore RP junkie straight from WOW.

Yea, it's hard to spot them, especially since the best/ only way to tell the difference is via the skin color.

With that said, there are some in the job/class quests. There are also some in the MSQ, specifically Lady Amandine Haukke and maybe even the Dzmaels

There's a Duskwight in the lancer questline. I believe there are also a couple hanging out in the Shroud somewhere, iirc near Buscarron's Druthers, they're on an archeological dig to find artifacts of their people. I think they were involved in a sidequest at some point.

There are a few Duskwights around, primarily in Gridania. It's quite possible if they are the only two Elezen Clans that the family of House Durendare are descended from Duskwights. A lot of the Elezen bandits in the Shroud are Duskwight. Their is a Duskwight in the Astralogian quest (though she is a antagonist). I think there are two Duskwight scholars in South Shroud.

There are lots of Highlander females around all over the place. The greatest concentration is in Little Ala Mhigo unsurprisingly but there are ones in Mor Dhona, Idylshire, Limsa Lominsa, quite a few in Uldah including the Gladiator guild leader, the bad guy female airship captain from the Void Ark quests, a bunch in the Gold Saucer, and probably a few other places I haven't thought of.

I think the gladiator's guild leader and miner's guild leader is female Highlander.

Oh, thank you! I knew I was forgetting someone important that I should have known.

I recall doing a quest back after release when I started playing that had mentioned that many of the bandits in the Shroud are Duskwight. The Redbelly Bandits, I think they are.

There are those two archaeologists in the South Shroud studying the ruins of Gelmorra (the Duskwights' ancestral home) who at one point lament the fact that their clan is now more widely known for brigandry than anything else.

Those two are one reason I really wish the game actually noticed your race more often. They talked to me like I wasn't duskwight myself (this being before I switched to Au Ra in HW)

The Elezen at the end of Halitali (Hard) is a Duskwight. More apparent in the Moogle Delivery quest that features those gladiators.

I've had that happen before with an NPC explaining how familys work for Keepers of the Moon. I ranted quite a bit to my FC that she assumed I was an idiot that didn't know how my own people handle such things. (Thankfully when something similar was mentioned for the Little Lady's day event, the NPC was kind enough to give me an "As you know")

The aesthetictian is also a Duskwight. As is his brother. There's also an npc member of the Twin Adders that's a duskwight standing guard in the Lavender Beds. I know because he's parked outside my personal house. There's also a Duskwight who plays a part in the Lancer's 1-30 quests name Folques.

To help identify the duskwight, my wife told me about checking the eyes. I still get it wrong most of the time though.

I /think/ maybe the Astrologian guy is one. Jannequiard or whatever.

FF14 is not really big on racial issues. They are more focused on class and political views. Even the Garlean emprie does not seem to take issue in race.
