Races

[Supersnow845]

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.

Almost all locations on etheryis are analogues to real world locations

The far east is east Asia (with hingashi being Japan and doma being China) and tural is the America’s

It’s not that much of a stretch to imagine in etheryis the analogue to the Pacific Ocean east of hingashi is smaller which would make travelling east of hingashi to hit the west coast of tural much easier, especially since the Polynesia equivalent; the south seas islands are south of eorzea where the real world would have Africa so it could be quite likely the far east ocean is much smaller
