Au Ra physiology and other lore.

[Kytrin]

Actually I'm basing them on cuteified version of the Tuskarr from Warcraft, a race of... walrus men with an Inuit-like culture.

I remember those! I spent many, many, many, weeks trying to up my rep with them before I said eff it and wandered off to do other things before Cataclysm came out. :P

On a more thread related note, and apologies if this came up before and I missed it, since I THINK Othard is located in that misty vaguely labled Garlean Empire portion of the map...what do you guys think the odds of Au Ra having come into contact with Ala Mhigo before it fell, or even Gridania, before they became refugees?

For that matter, why go to Vesper Bay of all places? That's all the way down in the southern tip of the continent. I can understand avoiding Garlean patrols and the like, but doesn't Limsa have certified pirates preying on those? Just seems like they went way out of their way in that regard.
