Sounsyyv's post is useful overall and gathers in some good quotes, and yet the dot point information they've compiled makes several assumptions that aren't in (or are disproved by) those quotes. It also seems to pre-date the lorebook and doesn't have any of that information.
Hi, Sounsyy here, just wanted to comment on this specifically. As you mentioned, this was written in 2015, a full year before useful tools like the first Encyclopedia Eorzea and XIVDB's Lore Finder existed. By the time those clarifications were more easily available, it was either too late to make corrections or I just lacked the energy to go back through every post I'd ever made and add in the corrected info. This post in particular has haunted me for years now because of mistakes and assumptions based on lack of info or misinformation/unclear information at the time (ex. Ishgardian Elezen =/= Wildwood/Duskwight, or the more recent Carvallain lore bomb dropped by Ferne). Sadly I can't go back and correct / delete this post. My only hope is that readers will look at it (and it's date!) and absorb the information with a discerning eye like you have or with a hefty grain of salt.

Thanks for understanding and thank you for correcting the old info for others who're still using this post as a reference!
