Elementals and the Shroud

[Iscah]

One interesting thing about the aspect of having The Elementals around is that typical Gridanians use them as a way to shun outsiders and pick and choose from refugees, such as when the folks at Quarrymill shunned the male Ala Mhigan refugees, but accepted the females, "Because The Elementals willed it."

That's multiple unfounded assumptions together there.

What we know is that some refugees were accepted, some rejected, "according to the will of the elementals". The one accepted refugee we talk to is female. Meffrid's rejected group are all male as far as we see.

That does not mean there was a selection based on gender, and certainly doesn't mean the Gridanians are lying when they say that it's the will of the elementals.

It's not an assumption. A sidequest in Quarrymill has a Wood Wailer or God's Quiver pretty much admit to it. Nothing's unfounded about it at all. Gridania's only real flaw is its citzenry's fear/hate of outsiders.

You're going to have to source that one. I've been looking through the South Shroud MSQ and sidequest dialogue and can find nothing of the sort. The only thing I see is a Hearer saying that the Elementals have not given them permission to heal the Resistance soldiers.

I don't have access to the game right now, as far as the Quarrymill sidequests go. As far as Gridania's flaw. Idk, just start in Gridania and don't skip the dialogue/CSes. They give you death threats and warnings for not being from Gridania from the very start, and it doesn't stop until you're a local hero for defending the Guardian Tree.

And Moonkeepers. They aren't treated that well either as seen in the archer questline. Seems like anyone who isn't a Wood Elezen or Hyur are generally distrusted or even hated in Gridania.
