Now , I'm not stating the cities only had Lalafells, just that they were primarily Lalafells; Like Limsa is Roegadyn, Ishgard is Elezen, and Ala Mhigo is Hyur.
    Looking at Mhach proper, all we know is that the lalafellin descendants founded Belah'dia. Within Mhach however we only find Hyur statues and mentions of a Voidmage Cessair who also happens to be Hyur. And we learn from the RDM entry that Ala Mhigo was co-founded by the descendants of mhach. At the calamity there could have been a split in Mhachi hyur/lala population with the highlanders drawing to gyr abania and the Lalafells going south.

    I'm not saying that these cities only had Lalafells just that they were predominantly Lalafellian. And as you indicated with Cessair, the Cities can show reverence or have high officials not of the "main" race. Gridania is "supposedly" Elezen in nature, but the mai focus is on the Padjal/Hyurs, Ishgard worships Halone the Fury who is depicted as a Hyur, the Little Ladies Day event was created and celebrates a Hyur family that ruled Ul'dah once... hmmm, I'm noticing a patern, lol. But regardless of anything else, the the principle figures in the SCH and BLM jobs are Lalafells; Shatotto the creator, and Surito Kurito a high ranking official, possibly the creator but I found no sources.

    I like helping people with their Job ideas, it's fun to help them visuallize and create the job they'd like to play most. Plus I make my own too, I'll post them eventually.

    Elezen/Hyur in nature, not only Elezen. Gridania was founded by the citizen of Gelmorra, after they left Gelmorra. And in Gelmorra lived Elezen and Hyurs together.
    Padjals are Hyurs, who got choosen by the Elementals. No Padjal was born as a Padjal.
