Why FFXIV is The Best

[Shurrikhan]

Sidurgu brought up how there were several Auri refugees, and his clan got butchered by the Ishgardians; this was in DRK questline on HW launch. It's feasible to think other Auri clans wound up in other nooks of Eorzea.

Ahh, right. I'd forgotten about them since they only "appear" in dialogue, despite the obvious daemon-dragon (or, scales) connection among Au Ra. Always felt weird to me to get the exact same dialogue on my Au Ra character as on my Miqo.

In fairness, this is also a job quest that one isn't guaranteed to have seen at all in Heavensward. A tidbit like that to sort of soft retcon Auri adventurers in definitely should have been a bit more front-and-center than a periphery quest like that. I'm also not arguing that a soft retcon like this couldn't also be used for male Viera / female Hrothgar; I just felt it worth pointing out.
