Yet more live in the jungle nation of Nagxia.Īuri creation myth tells of a Dawn Father ( Azim) and a Dusk Mother ( Nhaama) from whom all Au Ra are descended. Raen also live in the island nation of Radz-at-Han, alongside the Matanga and Hyur there. These Raen live with the resident Hyur in towns such as Terncliff. There are also Raen found much further west in Werlyt, a region of Ilsabard near the border with Eorzea. Only on rare occasions will one emerge from the valley mists to seek adventure in realms afar. Unlike their sister clan, the Xaela, who bloody the land with their endless tribal conflict, the Raen have embraced a life of tranquility and solitude, long abandoning the nomadic lifestyle of their ancestors to settle the deep valleys of Othard's mountainous eastern reaches. The Raen believe their veins to run thick with the blood of the former-their brilliant white scales and iron wills serving as proof of this divine lineage. There are two different types of Au Ra: the light-scaled Raen and the dark-scaled Xaela.Īuri creation myth tells of a Dawn Father and a Dusk Mother from whom all Au Ra are descended.
Some Au Ra possess luminous limbal rings (the outer edge of the eye's iris, which is normally darker than the rest of the iris). This has long been disputed, with scholars citing several distinct differences as evidence of decidedly dissimilar roots-the foremost being the enhanced hearing and spatial recognition granted by an Au Ra's cranial projections (traits not attributed to draconian horns), and the second being the gross disproportion of body mass between Auri males and females (again, a trait widely unseen in dragons). The curved horns and beautifully patterned scales that characterize the Au Ra often give rise to speculation that this Hyur-like race native to the Far Eastern continent of Othard are, in fact, the progeny of dragons.
