Going insane about Duskwight Estinien & Ferndale

Around 9 months ago I started playing FFXIV and I decided to play a duskwight and unfortunately you don't see many duskwights (and I only just did the ShB trials and Lancer quests so for a while my frame of reference was that one random duskwight getting bullied at a tavern in ARR and Mother Miounne) BUT I very recently learned that one of my favorite characters Estinien was definitely a duskwight in 1.0 (not explicitly stated but his skin tone is way too pale for wildwood/ishgardian and also had a greenish tint)

So for funsies I very quickly adopted this hc that he's still Duskwight, but I didn't really expand on it too much. It wasn't until I was talking with a friend about my WOL (Lunelle) that I mentioned that I might have messed up and not given Lunelle a duskwight last name and his response was just "just make them Ishgardian." Initially I dismissed the idea because despite the numerous elezen in Ishgard I didn't remember any of them having duskwight features nor did I think any of them would identify with wildwood or duskwight anymore which is a problem as being duskwight is important to Lunelle's identity. So Ishgard itself was out of the question but what about other places in Coerthas? (The ShB trials actually helped me a lot here because I frequently thought of the duskwights in Gyr Abania so some of them going to Coerthas didn't seem too farfetched.) That's when I thought of Estinien again and by extension I thought of Ferndale. I'll admit that I haven't dug too deep into anything about Ferndale aside from where it used to be on the Coerthas map. From what I can gather all we really know is that it was a small settlement outside of Ishgard, Nidhogg attacked it, and Estinien is the only survivor. There's a lot we don't know about Ferndale (nor the other settlements that were destroyed in the same rampageas im pretty sure Alberic mentions multiple) which turns out to be great for me because I get to make up almost whatever I want. So enter my very self indulgent headcanons: Ferndale was a settlement of duskwights & Coerthas had other settlements of duskwights Not necessarily relevant to Ferndale but I also hc Ysayle as a duskwight because she uses a duskwight model and I love her. (And what other reasons do you need really?) This also gave me a reason to think about how Lunelle and Estinien would interact with each other. Not to mention I love being self indulgent and the idea of them being childhood friends was too cute to pass up, but rambling about those two (and another Ishgardian elezen I adore) is for a later post.
