Hi, everyone!
I have been on Balmung for a few days and am now trying to flesh out my character's back story and needed some input.
I will preface this by stating that while I have searched for information it is totally plausible that I missed a thread or page that will have answered all my queries and apologize if that is the case. I welcome any and all suggestions for further reading!
My character is a Roegadyn lass of the Sea Wolf persuasion roughly in her late teens to early twenties (the easier to explain why she is unknown and relatively unskilled). She was born in Limsa Lominsa to a lower mercantile class couple with at least one known sibling.
Family:
My first inquiry is about familial structuring in the Roegadyn culture. How many children would an average couple have? Would their affluence directly effect this decision? Is it feasible that a family would maintain strong bonds with extended family? How important IS family to the average Roegadyn given their history as a seafaring and martial race?
Would such an extensive family perhaps take a clan name for themselves to identify that they are one blood since surnames reflect the sire's personal name?
Pride and Prejudice:
Based on the game content I have experienced I would estimate that the Roegadyn are a proud people who still respect their roots. Are there any races or cultures that they do no not get along with stereotypically?
Also, I am a little confused on the lore for how Limsa Lominsa was founded. I know that a ship or a fleet of ships ran aground in the bay and the city was built around the remains of the Galadion but was it crewed by Roegadyn? Sea Wolves? A mix of races?
I am sure I will have more questions to pester your lovely brains with soon. Thanks for taking the time to read and for any and all input!
