Garlean Third Eye

[Gemina]

I was going to petition to have Jullus join the Scions, and well... nvm.

How does one RP as a Garlean while remaining true to the lore? It's easy for me to RP as a Lunarian because while they do exist in the world of Final Fantasy, there is little to no mention of them in FFXIV, so there are no lore restrictions when it comes to how I develop her story in regards to her heritage. Garleans also have a unique skillset that would almost make more sense if it was a job more than a new race.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not dismissing it. Just curious how it would work.

It's pretty easy, especially with the Reaper quests now confirming that bands of Garleans can easily operate within the shadows across Eorzea. Others - such as myself - simply had our Garlean characters spend a lot of their time in Kugane, since Hingashi not only has Garleans living and working within the city but is neutral on the world stage.

As for the logistics, most people who role-play a Garlean simply go with a Midlander, Highlander or Elezen model and either hide the forehead with certain hairstyles or make use of a circlet to 'hide' the third eye.

A proper third eye glamour would be wonderful and allow people to make use of a broader range of hairstyles as a consequence.

just add garleans as a subrace for hyur and elezen. just throw a line in somewhere that hydaelyn gave you the ability to use aether normally because of the whole paradox from elpis (we receive the blessing from hydaelyn -> we go to elpis and meet hydaelyn -> she gives you the blessing because you would have become tempered to ifrit and killed and therefore unable to have met hydaelyn in the first place)

have the blessing include that. or just have us be extra special and allow it due to us being a shard of azem
