A feline people known for their animalistic and burly looks.
Hailing from the distant shores of Ilsabard, the Hrothgar are a burly people of leonine appearance— or the males at least. Females are staggeringly few among their population and are rarely glimpsed by other races.
The Hrothgar's imposing countenance, not mitigated by their sharp claws and still sharper fangs, incited panic among Eorzeans upon their arrival. As they were unable to communicate, initial interactions among the commonfolk escalated into conflict. After the Hrothgar gained mastery over the common tongue fears were allayed and in time, they were welcome in all corners of the realm.
The Gunbreaker job originates with the Hrothgar, who have passed the art of the gunblade from generation to generation, originally employed by Queen Gunnhildr's personal guard.
Hrothgar are separated into two clans, the warm-colored Helion and the winter-furred Lost. In ages past, the Helions of souther Ilsabard served under a singular matriarchal rule, their lives revolving around their queen.
Male Helion surnames are based on the queen they served as, the "clans" named by scholars after the way their lives revolve around their queen, much like celestial bodies to a sun.
By contrast, the Lost are a nomadic clan known to undertake many trade professions, from peddlers to mercenaries. They're hesitant to take up occupations that restrict their traveling. Their cold fur is said to be a symbol of their independent nature, driving them away from the warm embrace of their queen.
