There were also once hecatoncheirs in Thanalan as well (a form of giant), which Ul'dah had once exploited as a source of slave labour (naturally this didn't work out well for them) - besides being mostly entombed within Copperbell Mines for centuries after they rebelled, a small group of hecatonchiers can also be found in a cave in Western Thanalan as well (near Cape Westwind).

The sultanate also did cast out all the beastmen from Ul'dah not long after the fall of Ala Mhigo too, which might go some way to explaining why Thanalan only has one apparent beast tribe where the other nations seem to have at least two.
