Raimdelle Reborn: The Neverending Bestiary

If you wanted to remain objective, you are better off lumping the beast tribes and civilized races together and rename the whole group "intelligent races", you can throw in Garlean in there too. All of the beast tribes have a society and culture of some sort. They are to us, what we are to the Garleans. I also don't believe you should include the seperate tribes because a seeker of the sun and keeper of the moon are still both Miqo'te. It would be like differentiating white humans with black humans.

It really depends if you want stick to only the biology of all of hydaelyn's creatures or if you want to include some of the cultural aspect as well.

Technically speaking, that's what the Spoken class is to begin with. Cannot stress enough that "civilized races" is Square Enix's term for what the five playable races call themselves. It's on the main page of the website under Hyur. This is a long-standing hold-over from FFXI, whose lore stated that Altana wept five tears that became the civilized races who fought against the beastmen of the dark age that followed. The best course of action might just be to call them The Five Races and move on with it. Eorzeans do seem to put a brick wall between The Five and the Tribes.

I might add that learning the barbaric tongues was anything but simple. Both languages contain sounds that are all but impossible for members of the five races to reproduce. It took many years of rigorous training to acquire the knack, but the rewards for my efforts have made it all worthwhile.

Stay alert, my friend. The gigas in these parts have no love for the five races.

Mor Dhona is an old, old place that is mentioned in the myths and legends of the beast tribes and the five races alike. While the stories vary, all contain references to a great force that slumbers there - though whether it be a force for good or evil depends on whom you ask.
