Which City-State (or simply Class) do you think will make the most sense for Au Ra?

I'll have to disagree regarding MRD vs GLD. From what I've seen of the MRD guild they value honor, duty and protecting the weak/innocent. Alot of them are Yellowjackets and serve as a military/police for for Limsa Lominsa. The questline for WAR is also about controlling your inner beast lest it'll consume you....sounds exactly what a potential dark knight must overcome, except in this case it'll be darkness.

The ideal is there, but there's just too much corruption in Ul'Dah for me to take them seriously. Although, there is an appeal going from PLD to DRK.

I guess I go back and forth. I mean, in a PERFECT world, you could start in an Au Ra refugee-camp, somewhere near either Revenant's Toll, or on the outskirts of Ishgard, as a level 1 Dark Knight. Seeing as that isn't the case, though, I can't decide.

I doubt the Au Ra would start off anywhere close to Ishgard, given their outright paranoia of anything dragon-like. I can see them growing to tolerate Au Ra after working with the race for awhile, but as of now, I don't think they even know what Yugiri actually looks like, much less of the race in general.

The corruption could actually be a plus, given that it means that you'll have some faction willing to 'accept' refugees for work, especially exotic refugees.
