The ancestors of the Mi'quote tribes came to Eorzea during the Age of Endless Frost as they followed the herds of wildlife that crossed the newly formed frozen glaciers.

Relatively few in number, the Mi'quote are highly insular and prefer to keep apart from the other races and maintain fairly solitary lifestyles even when residing in the more populous urban City-States. The Seekers of the Sun clan's preference

for the sun and light is found in all aspects of their culture and they are devout worshipers of Azeyma the Warden, goddess of the sun.

Their culture puts a high value on personal

courage and competition, although there have been some philosophers in their ranks in the past. Originally a maritime people, the Roegadyn came to Eorzea by way of the northern seas.

The Sea Wolves call the islands in the far northern waters home, where tradesmen and their women still live to this day. Once, the clan was feared and hated for their brutal piracy, but today can be found in all manner

of maritime trade, from honest sailors to paid naval mercenaries.

This diurnal clan is easily recognized by their striking eyes with vertically aligned pupils and lightly colored irises.
