Memories of the atrocities committed by the Empire still haunt many in this city-state, for a large number of refugees fled to Limsa Lominsa after their nation fell.
This is so helpful! I've wanted to make a Lominsan highlander but the character creation text's bit about how rarely they are seen in Eorzea outside Ul'dah always threw me off:
"Of late, Highlanders have become an increasingly rare sight in Eorzea, their number almost exclusively by those who fled Ala Mhigo after its fall and now work in the desert city-state of Ul'dah as mercenaries and sellswords."
Good to know the greater backstory of the exodus and other possibilities. I wish the game showed a bigger diversity of Highlander NPC characters!
