    "Gridanians have long perceived the Duskwight as outcasts and brigands, as many of them resort to common theft and banditry to make ends meet. Some Duskwight still dream of restoring a measure of prosperity to the fallen city of Gelmorra, reestablishing it as a settlement for their people to remedy this situation."

    If this isn't legitimate my apologies, but I would seriously love to see an attempt by Duskwights to organize and re-establish themselves with their culture apart from Gridania. I think that would be a really interesting plot point, and would give some attention to them when they've felt pretty invisible in practice, and would help examine imperfections in Gridania more when at least to me they've felt a little idealized compared to other places.

    I mean there's no reason why there couldn't be major Plainsfolk settlements. We haven't seen it yet but we could.

    And I disagree on there not being majority settlements for other races. I think Limsa is majority Seawolf, Gridania is majority Wildwood and Midlander (to the point that it's how the Twin Adders got their name/symbolism), Ul'dah is majority Dunesfolk, Doma is majority Midlander, Ishgard is majority Wildwood, Sui-no-Sato is Raen and the Azim Steppe is Xaela. Majorities in different spots with different cultures is a thing in-game! It doesn't mean it's universally one group or anything, although this can happen as per Xaela. Ul'dah totally has significant minorities of Hellsguard, Midlanders, Seekers, and Highlanders for instance. Gridania has some Keepers in their midst and Limsa has Seekers, Midlanders, and Plainsfolk minorities. Similarly, Ishgard, Doma, and Ala Mhigo also have minorities. But I'd argue that it's possible to see a main group and cultural influence in different spots, and idk I find that interesting and would like to see it fleshed out further.
