Implications of Social-Construct terms of "Humanity" and "Beast"

[Strongfat900]

Sharlayan, the island place we go to in the north that is labelled as "Old Sharlayan" in our teleport menu, is not part of Eorzea.

Sharlayan, the colony place in the Dravanian Hinterlands that was abandoned fifteen years ago, is part of Eorzea.

Both are called "Sharlayan" by everyone, including people from (Old) Sharlayan and from Eorzea. When told that this causes much confusion, people from both Sharlayans went "that sounds like a you problem". If forced, they call the Dravanian Sharlayan "Emporium". (We only learn of this in Endwalker while browsing the Noumenon, so it could be something the lore team came up with offhand.)

Every time Sharlayan is referred to as one of the "city-states of Eorzea", they mean the Dravanian colony.

True, but regardless, the term, beastmen, was created by the Ul-daans which was spread by the denizens of Eorzea as well as the Garleans. Y'shtola was born and raised in the colony of Sharlayan, and uses the term early in the game which the term becomes less and less used, and the reconciliation between the two began to take shape. Not to mention that the term was never used in the Far East or in the First.

And yes, the *new* Sharlayan was founded by Nyunkrepf Nyunkrepfsyn due to his prediction of the sixth umbrel calamity which he took many people into his ark to the lands that became the Eorzean Sharlayan.
