Roegadyn The Roegadyn are a race from the seas north of Eorzea in " Final Fantasy XIV " . They are similar to the Galka of " Final Fantasy XI " , but lack a tail , and do not look as ursine . Most of them are of the Sea Wolf tribe , and live by the sea as fishermen , although some become Mercenaries and / or Pirates . Another tribe , the Lohengarde , also known as the Hellsguard , live near a volcano believed to be the gate to hell , and use magic . Size Matters . The Roegadyn are a maritime people whose largest concentrations are found in the northern seas , by way of which they came to Eorzea . They have enormous , muscular builds and are known for the cultural emphasis they place on competition and unflinching courage , although tender , introspective individuals can also be found . Roegadyn in and around the Limsa Lominsa area are typically seamen putting in at port , but many have settled permanently , becoming mercenaries , bodyguards , or even pirates by trade . Far away , deep in the mountains of Ul ' dah , live mountain clans of reclusive Roegadyn known as the Hellsguard , said to have mastered the magical arts . Female Roegadyn are playable in " Realm Reborn " . They have fierce faces and large muscular builds , not unlike their male kin , but they are sleeker . They are not as massive as male Roegadyn , and are a little shorter than their male counterparts ( 7 ' 3 " at max height for females and 7 ' 5 " for the males ) . Female Sea Wolves Roegadyn have fair skin ( even more so than males ) and are slim compared to Hellsguard women , while the latter have more robust physiques and brownish skin compared to male Hellsguard . Sea Wolves . The Sea Wolves hail from the islands of the far north seas , where they subsist as fishermen and - women . Long ago , no vessel or coastal village was safe from their maritime brand of brutality . Now , it is not uncommon to see them employed as sailors or naval mercenaries on all manner of vessels . In modern times , they also make up a substantial portion of the population of Limsa Lominsa , nearly tying with Midlander Hyur as the largest portion of the population . As a result , the entire city has been substantially influenced by their culture and attitudes , and in many significant ways , Limsa is a " Sea Wolf town " . Hellsguard . The Hellsguard are a clan of Roegadyn with body and mind tempered by the unforgiving heat of the volcanic regions they inhabit . Believing the mountains of flame to be gates to the underworld , their line has for centuries stood vigil over them to prevent the passage of souls back to the realm of the living . Their sheer girth and steely demeanor open to the Hellsguard a wide range of paths , from the martial to the monastic . As they hail from the volcanoes of Abalathia ' s Spine , they have no real city to call their own ( and many Hellsguard seem to like it that way ) . If they are to be found in number in any city - state , it is in Ul ' dah , where there is no shortage of the sort of sell - sword work that many wandering Hellsguard engage in — and no shortage of coin with which to pay them . Naming Convention . Roegadyn names vary between the two sub - races : Sea Wolves use words taken from the Roegadyn language , while Hellsguard adapt the names to use common Eorzean words .
