    About cities, races, tribes and population

    While not as rigid as in XI in XIV, while every city is actually multy cultural, we still have some form of direction for predominant races and tribes living there.

    Gridania:
    Gridania was founded by the Wildwood Elezen and Midlander Hyur as an act of peace between the two, it's easy to say those two races are the dominant ones.
    Duskwights Elezen, according to their description, used to live in woodland caves and underground structures, we can mainly see them as bandits in the South Shroud (The Redbellies) while some of them seem to have "given in" and decided to move in Gridania (like the one from the LNC quest).
    People also still have prejudices against them, as shown in some quests and dialogues.
    Keepers of the Moon Miqo'te moved in the Twelveswood decades ago and used to live mostly out of hunting and poaching (many still do, like the Coerlclaw poachers).
    With time many of them gave up on their ways and decided to move in the city-state.

    Limsa Lominsa:
    Sea Wolf and Midlander Hyur make the large bulk of the population, living out mostly of what the sea and the surrounding land can offer (and plundering!).
    Plainsfolk Lalafells are mostly stationed here, they are mostly good at fishing and agricoltural practices and even their natural height and hair color (which, according to the description can have different shades of green) gives them mimetical advantages in the green surroundings of Vylbrand.
    Seekers of the Sun miqo'te seems to have a good presence in the city aswell as areas surrounding it, mostly in Costa del Sol.

    Ul'Dah
    Dunesfolk Lalafells are the founders of the city and are also mainly concentrated here, they also retain important figures in the city itself (The Sultana, Thaumaturge guild and cult of Nald'Thal).
    Since the loss of Ala Mhigo The majority of the Highlander refugees are mostly in Ul'dah or the areas surrounding it (New ala Mhigo), many work as mercenaries.
    Midlander Hyur seems to live in good number here aswell (is there a place where they do not live?!).
    Many Hellsguard Roegadyn seem to work here while being non-existant in other cities, not much is known as to where they come from (they are supposed to come from volcanic areas but funnily enough noone seem to be found around Vylbrand, exception made for the Warrior questline npc in Eastern La Noscea), would be nice to know more from this tribe.
    Seekers of the Sun Miqo'te are often seen in the city-state aswell, probably coming from their main town in the Sagolii Desert.

    Ishgard
    Ishgard seems to be a (mostly) Elezen only city, they look like Wildwood Elezen however it is not know if the city itself was founded before the Wildwood/Duskwight scission, if so they could be straight descendants of the original Elezen.
    Oh, there are also Midlander Hyur.

    Sharlayan
    Not much is known to us of this city however we see people from many different races coming from there, it would be nice to know more about its roots to know if a race in particular founded it.
    I bet there are many Midlander Hyur though.
