Some information about Ratatoskr

[WyrahFhurrst]

That or it could be Meracydian in origin and we know that Miqo'te lived there prior to the 5th Astral Era and that it was the Seeker of the Sun that worshipped Azeyma

Do we really though? Not trying to derail the conversation, but I've seen that 'fact' a lot lately, and I just don't know where it came from. I mean, we know they crossed the sea during the Age of Endless Frost, but do we know from which direction? I'd have thought the ice bridge would be more northward, where melting would take longer and the ice would be thicker, not leading between Eorzea and Meracydia, which we know has a tropical or sub-tropical climate what with jungles and rain-forests described in game.

In my previous thread about unused lore-related data files:

It is believed the Miqo'te first came to Eorzea during the Fifth Umbral Era, fleeing their ravaged homeland on the southern continent of Meracydia.

We know that Umbral eras make things crazy and affect climates in many different ways so it would surprise me if these ice bridges extended very far south
