    I imagine they are a type of hyur, another tribe most likely.

    Afterall, many of the tribes of the current races are pretty "new" compared to their older counterparts based on their descriptions

    Duskwights evolved after centuries of being in Gelmorra post Gridania (about 500yrs)

    Dunesfolk lalafell came to be after their Plainsfolk (South Islanders) forebears settled in Thanalan. Those glassy eyes are a result of evolving to suit suns rays

    Was stated that Raen branched off from Xaela to live a life of tranquility

    Maybe the current tribes of hyur share a distant relative with the garleans? My theory is the garleans are descent from the allagans and lost their magical abilities either through evolution or maybe even divine intervention.

    Allagan was a nationality not a race. Same with Garlean. The Garlean "Pure Bloods" how ever could indeed (As they claim) be descended from the Allagan Royal Lines, which it's self had a "Pure Blood" elitism amongst the Allagan Empire. The ancestors of the Allagan Royals could turn out to be the common ancestors of The Highlanders, Midlanders, and Native Garleans and thus thousands of years forming three distinct races including the Garlen Pure Bloods who, via genetic degradation from the allagan inbreeding, could have either lost the ability to manipulate Aether or simply have the ability weakened beyond use.

    I'm not really disputing modern Hyur clans and the Native Garlens having common ancestry simply stating that a distinguishment needs be made from The Garlen and Allagan Empires and the actual genetic lineage of the tribal sects.
