Duskwights:

Interesting that Duskwights use Pomanders potent enough to ward off Elementals and that they excel at making it. Not sure what that means or the relationship with the Pomanders found in PotD. Probably one of the many things they kept from the time of Gelmorra

Yda and Minfilia are highlanders, not midlanders!

People have jokingly said that she might be half (her mother) highlander due to her large breast. I guess genetics is genetics, her father was midlander, at least.

Thanks for sharing this.
I was disappointed we didn't get much in the way of Duskwight lore in game when PotD was released.

Well that was really obvious on Minfillia's part given she was from Ala Mhigo..

.and it seems to be more evidence that Yda is also from Ala Mhigo as well (and is the woman in the trailer fighting the Warrior/Dragoon/Monk of Light)

Yda and Minfilia are highlanders, not midlanders!

Of course they are! Both are daughters of Ala Mhigan refugees, and besides, have you seen Minfilia's boo-

Err... there just weren't female Highlander models in 1.x, so they had to use Midlander models as a result. Seems logical.

I was right YES!!!!!

Hold on, according to race naming guidelines Keeper surnames are very old ("some of these surnames have survived since the First Astral Era."), so presumably they've been passed from generation to generation...yet the naming convention presented in the lore book is...different (what we know as the first name is actually a matronymic, and the 'surname'/second name is the given name)? :O Unless I misunderstood?

Someone in my guild just informed me my name is backwards. Apparently Ayuh'ra Tayuun is no longer "Ayuh'ra of Clan Tayuun, fifth son of Ayuh" it's "Tayuun, Fifth Son of Ayuh". Which changes my character's name. I don't RP but if I did my brain would be melting about now.

I started the game as a female Keeper miqo'te (and might fantasia back into one, lol), and I thought that the surnames are passed down from mother to daughter, females having individual first names. Males get their mother's names wholesale, just with the appropriate suffix. Going by lore book now, my character's mother was named "Shial" and her given name is actually "Izha"...
