Highlander
The Highlanders have a long tradition of inhabiting Eorzean mountainous regions, particularly Gyr Abania and its proud city-state of Ala Mhigo. Compared to their Midland brethren, the Highlanders are larger in build. Although Highlanders were originally common in Ala Mhigo, the state's conquest by the Garlean Empire has driven them all across Eorzea in great waves of refugees.
The largest number of them is found in and around the desert city of Ul'dah, as the refugees were attracted by tales of Ul'dahn wealth only to learn of the ruthless Dunesfolk business practices. Many are now found on the streets of Ul'dah, huddled outside its walls or in the refugee camp referred to (some would say mockingly) as "Little Ala Mhigo". However, the great Highlander diaspora did not just send them to Ul'dah, and they can be found more or less everywhere across Eorzea.
