Are there surviving Shetona villages in Yyasulani?

[MikkoAkure]

To be fair, like you said we have the Wachumeqimeqi quests compare and contrast Shetona with the Veena. Shetona themselves already have more focus spent on them in that questline than actually playable clans like Keepers of the Moon and Duskwight have in the whole game. The Shetona's original enemies and the Turali Hyur equivalent: the Tonawawta just get a couple of blurbs in another Wachumeqimeqi questline so it's not as though as the Shetona are alone in having their lore shunned by the MSQ.

The whole exposition dump tour for the people of Yok Tural worked since the focus for that half of the expansion was based on wandering around and learning about them, and that part of the story was over by the time we got to Xak Tural. The first half of DT for me was slow and repetitive going to each tribe and I don't think the MSQ would have benefited doing the same exact thing for the second half of the expansion and I think keeping the exposition to sidequests or future patch content for the people of Xak Tural is probably the way to go. The Hhetsarro got a short focus and more lore in 7.1 so it's entirely possible the same may happen with the Shetona later on, especially since one of them is supposedly one of the main characters of the expansion. There's still a few more patches to go.

Even the Tonawatwans aren't the worst off; I genuinely couldn't tell you if there are Elezen in Tural outside of Alexandria, that's how little they're discussed despite people like Shale being around to beg the question. I'm pretty sure there just aren't Au Ra.

I'd say that the Roegadyn are also in a bad spot by only getting one NPC in all of Dawntrail (and even that one being a migrant), but frankly, that's probably a good showing as far as Roegadyn tend to get.

Elezen in Tural are all either Alexandrian Eldites or travelers from Aldenard or Ilsabard. Whatever the Ninth's equivalent of anything that isn't Hyune (Hyur), Eldite (Elezen), or the Source's Milala that ported over and then back seem to have died in whatever happened there and weren't present in Alexandria's population.

I was expecting native Turali Hyur since we were already introduced to them in the BLU quests and the Hyur's whole thing is colonizing every inch of the world map. Turali Hrothgar and Viera make no logical sense but I feel like they were added to DT just for the developers to have an excuse to make actual male Viera and female Hrothgar NPCs. It makes sense that Elezen (outside of Alexandrians), Au Ra, and Roegadyn don't show up in Tural, but I still don't know what Miqo'te are doing there though. Hhetsarro also inexplicably have an even distribution of the sexes too.

Maybe someday with EE4, a sidequest, or a random fanfest comment we'll find out how the heck 2 of the most isolated playable races in the game that previously did not exist in any real numbers outside of 1 country each somehow ended up on the other side of the world and why Miqo'te are plentiful in the far west but do not exist at all in the far east despite being connected by land to the rest of the game world.

You're right about the Hhetsarro getting some attention in the latest patch- I can't act like all is lost -__-

My I mentioned it to Cleretic as well (I'm a forum novice so srry about my rudimentary reply format RIP) I think Tural having Hrothgar and Viera and Miqo'te was kind of the team's way of showing that this "New World" is so new, we've just learned that these previously sparse peoples actually have thriving counterparts in this huge landmass Eorzeans are just learning about.

I guess we gotta wait until the next Encylopedia Eorzea, though -__-
