Hello there weary traveler! And welcome to Hydaelyn! Well done getting through the gate and past Garlean forces! Or maybe you didn't and you're a conscript or escaped prisoner of war. Or perhaps you willingly joined them in their goals to conquer everything. However you got here, it doesn't matter! What matters is that you are here.
But where is "Here" exactly?
Well. I'm not exactly sure. The Garleans keep the location of the gate under wraps. We're extremely lucky if we manage to get enough of a force to it and out to support our troops on the other side.
Odds are you're somewhere here on one of these landmasses!
There are several countries here, but a few territories to note.Everything in red is controlled by the Garlean Empire. In blue is the Eorzean Alliance and violet is the Far East, they're all allies there, fighting the Empire for their lands back. Thavinair is down there in green, barely maintaining their independence. And far to the west indark purple is Sharlaya, a bunch of egg heads who remain neutral.
South of this continent is Meracydia, home of the dragons. I don't recommend going there."

Hyur - One of many races of people on Hydaelyn! They are the Humans of the world and are the most abundant. They come in two subcategories, Midlander and Highlander. Midlanders tend to be more educated of the lot with smaller builds. Like their clan name suggests, they settle in the midlands. Highlanders, on the other hand, are taller and more slender built. They tend to settle in mountainous regions.
Elezen - Elezen are a traditionally nomadic race, though they do settle. Elezen look much like Hyur, with a tendency to be taller and more slender with long pointy ears. They too have two clans. Wildwood, who inhabit the forests with a keen sense of sight; and Duskwight, who inhabit caves and caverns with grey hued skin and a keen sense of hearing.
Miqo'te - Miqo'te are a race similar to Hyur with cat like features (Cat ears, tail, slitted eyes, clawed nails). They too come from two clans. The Seekers of the sun, a Diurnal clan with a propensity for Heterochromatic eyes; and the Keepers of the Moon, a nocturnal clan.
