FFXIV Hyur Class

Hyur Lore

The Hyur have the largest population in Eorzea today but they remained as diverse as before. In the beginning there were no Hyur in the realm but their numbers grew because of their three migratory waves into the realm. They came from the neighboring islands and continents. Final fantasy 14 guide didn’t state the reason as to what led to the migration of the Hyur into Eorzea.

They have medium physique, both in build and height. You can immediately recognize a Hyur from the other races through their ears. They have short, rounded ears, which is unique among the races in Eorzea. They can travel long distances by foot, which is one of the reasons of their increasing population in various parts of the realm. You can find a Hyur in every corner of Eorzea.

During their travel to Eorzea, they brought with them sophisticated technology, which are useful in taming the new land. Technology made life easy in the continent. They are also responsible for the cultural progress of the realm and spearheaded the various advances of the realm’s civilization. They managed to do this despite the initial resistance of the native Elezen, which has resulted into violent conflicts.

The Hyur have various languages and diverse social institutions. They believe in individual freedoms. These are probably the reasons why the race suffers from lack of solidarity and group unity. Because of their vast diversity as a group, they can’t find a single cultural identity. Although there were no in-fighting between groups of Hyur, it led to the formation of two distinct groups among them. According to Final Fantasy 14 guide, these are:

Highland Hyur

The Highland Hyur live in Eorzea’s mountain regions. Their build is larger than the Midlanders because they had to adapt to their environment in order to survive. There are a few Higland Hyur left after the fall of Ala Mhigo. Those who survived now work in city-states as sellswords and mercenaries. They are the best in their line of work.

Midland Hyur

The Midland Hyur chose to stay on lower elevations. They compromise more than half of the total Hyur population in Eorzea. They can be found in almost all the city states in the realm. Their lives are as diverse as their heritage. Midland Hyur are more educated than most of the other races because they start training their youth in letters. They are more mild mannered than the Highlanders.
