As far as we know the world of Eorzea is comprised of five different races each split into two (or possibly more) playable clans. This race was the first to inhabit Eorzea and for a time claimed sole dominion over it. Because of FFXI Gil, they believe they are preordained by the gods and have a special sense of pride and honor. They are a traditionally nomadic people. The Lalafell originally inhabited the fertile islands of the South Seas. When trans-marine commerce began, they soon used these trade routes to travel to Eorzea. They are now well-established through much of the region, but they still avoid the colder climates. This is the race with the largest population. They traveled to Eorzea from the surrounding continents and islands in three migratory waves. They brought sophisticated technology and a more complex ethos to Eorzea from their contact with a broader world. The Roegadyn are a maritime race and traveled to Eorzea through the northern sea where they are still most concentrated on cheap gil. However in their frequent journeys to Limsa Lominsa, a few of their race have settled and become mercenaries, bodyguards or even pirates. The ancestors of the Miqote traveled to Eorzea during the Age of Endless Frost when the seas turned to ice and passage over them became possible. They followed their prey as they made their way to Eorzea.
