Hyur

"Female and Male Hyur"

Boasting the largest population in Eorzea, the Hyur came from neighboring continents and islands in three great migratory waves. With them they brought a sophisticated technology and complex ethos tempered by the breadth of the outside world.


The Hyur


They rapidly became a driving force behind cultural progress, and are now widely attributed with spearheading advances in Eorzean culture. One of the Hyur's strengths is in the staggering variety of languages and social institutions they exhibit. This is said to account for their firm conviction in individual freedoms, though it also results in a relative lack of solidarity and group cohesion.


Two distinct groups now exist among the Hyur - Highlanders, denizens of mountainous areas, and Midlanders, who reside in lower elevations.

Hyur Clans


Midland Hyur

The Midlander clan comprises over half of the total population of Eorzea's Hyur. They have established themselves throughout every city in the realm and lead lives as diverse as their heritage. Trained in letters from infancy, the Midlanders are generally more educated than many of the other races and clans.

Highland Hyur

The Highlanders derive their name from a long tradition of inhabiting Eorzea's mountains regions. Compared to their Midland brethren, the Highlanders are noticeably larger in build. These days, it is rare to see Highlanders save from those who fled Ala Mhigo after its fall, and now work in the other city-states as mercenaries and sellswords.

Interviews & Articles


From Dengeki Games, September 2009: They have the closest looks to human and have the biggest population in Eorzea. They have moved to Eorzea over three big immigrations, and their technology and knowledge helped Eorzea a lot to develop its culture. They have little sense of unity and loves freedom.
