Quote:There was also a question about how a Padjal gets their name (considering they start off as Hyur).
There are several old Hyur families in Gridania which consistently (albeit rarely) produce Padjals. Those include the Senna, the Yan, and the Pesi families. (Note the family names still possess the Padjali linguistic roots).
Seeing how they are physically similar to Hyur except for the horns, I'd say they are indeed Hyur; they just have a magically induced mutation (or maybe you could consider them a subrace).
Well, yeah, physically... Â I can't help but think, "Miqo'te are physically similar to Hyur except for the ears and tail." Â xD
I think "subrace" is a better term, tho!
Quote:I have no idea about Hearers. My lore-fu is rusty right now.
Hearers are Conjurers who can hear and communicate directly with the Elementals (similar to Padjal). Â Hearers are (at least according to the Conjurer questline) born, not trained. Â All Hearers appear to have a natural affinity for Conjury, though if they aren't trained in proper use, they apparently draw from their own life force to heal others (which can ultimately kill them). Â From what I saw in the CNJ and WHM quests, all Padjal are Hearers, and all Hearers are Conjurers, but not all Conjurers are Hearers (or Padjal, of course).
