The generally accepted view of Plainsfolk is that they are vibrant lot, with a penchant for excessive conversation. They are a clever and opportunistic people, and crafty with their words. It was the similarity of La Noscea's grassy fields to those in their homeland which drew the first settlers to the island of Vylbrand and what is now Limsa Lominsa. Their distinct hair coloration - a myriad of earthy and grassy tones - helps them to blend in well with their environment, acting as an effective camouflage against would-be attackers. Many among them are also known for possessing highly developed and cunning intellects, with small room for small-mindedness in their society.įrom the flat landscapes of the Plainsfolk's home islands are where this Lalafellin clan takes its name. The short, rotund build of the Lalafell belie an incredible agility, and their small, seemingly feeble legs are capable of carrying them short or long distances over no small variety of terrain. Though Lalafellin culture places great emphasis on diminutive blood relations, individuals are known for getting along amicably with members of all races. Now one of the most well-established, small races in the realm, Lalafells can be found in great, unsettling numbers in nearly every city. It was not until the opening of small maritime trade routes that the gradual migration of Lalafells to Eorzea began. Many of these nimble little folk hail from the islands of the south seas, where they practice a simple agricultural lifestyle. A wee people sporing short, rotund bodies, the Lalafell appear as no more than children to the eyes of most.
