Races

[Chasingstars]

Viera and Hrothgar had a whole "we're exactly from here" sorta thing going on, with Hrothgar even being in the same place since at least the 2nd Astral Era, but their presence in Tural seems to throw a wrench in everything. I'm sure they're both just there to give the devs an excuse to have more NPCs of the newer races but until a new EE comes out, their existence is a bit of a headscratcher.

See, that is my point though, as like you said it throws a wrench into what we know. Which calls into question how is there two groups on opposite ends of the world who are hrothgar and viera? Unless, Tural and Othard are actually relatively close with the illusion of distance when viewed from a map. And yes, using the idea of land bridges from prior eras, it would explain how some cats and rabbits from the far east, have circled back to the far west.

Which in addition, unless the Pelu Pelu are just short Hyur or a variation of Lalafell, means only three known races traveled east from Othard to Tural: Viera, Hrothgar, and Hyur.

As otherwise we surely we would have heard some great pilgrimage of Viera and Hrothgar if they traveled west and they would be more scattered as the Hyur.

And by extension the only groups that seems to have traveled from potentially west to Tural are the Hanu-Hanu and Goblins.
