Keeper of the Moon surname clarification?

[Fernehalwes]

Thanks for the question Inaaca!

There are many Keeper of the Moon family names that have been passed down through the generations.
The ones you see in-game (thank you for compiling that list aviha!) represent some of the more prominent families that once crossed the frozen seas into Eorzea in search for prey. That does not mean that these are all the names available. There are some families who have chosen to live more secluded lives, and simply have not made an appearance in-game yet. There are also the families who remained in their homeland, or emigrated to lands other than Eorzea.

So, when creating a character, you are free to take the surname of an existing family, and inherit their history, or choose a yet-to-be-released surname, and build a new history.

So, if these prominent families have histories, will we get to hear about them~? How could I possibly follow a family line if I have no idea about how they live? Maybe they are more magic-inclined Keepers. Or maybe they are rough and hostile towards other clans or races. This Moon Cat must know, Ferne! :3

As always, thank you for your continued service on the boards. We of the forums truly think you devs listen to us and are working tirelessly to make ARR a great game! Keep up the good work!
