Conception Lore

[Kyran-Varlsen]

We also have what appears to be a Half Hyur half Roe hybrid as well in the MSQ, one of the returning minor Scions we see in the MSQ introduces himself has a "Halfbreed"

I thought when he (Arenvald) said that he was just referring to a mixed Hyurian heritage. I didn't read it as Arenvald being anything other than a Hyurian Highlander. It was quick and I might have glossed over the text but that was my take.

That said, I found it odd that he would bother to identify as half Ala Mhigan as though it where something people should be on notice about. Maybe something was lost in translation? Half-breed has negative connotations in English but maybe the Japanese transcript was held in a different light.

Oh wait, here it is - he is half Garlean with his mother being Ala Mhigan. Considering standard Garlean "policies" towards civilian populations I think it a small chance that the union between his parents was a.... happy one:

I can see now why he would broach the matter in a negative manner... Truly FF14 does have it's dark moment amidst its lighter tones.
