Beast tribes

The Beast Tribes number among the Spoken: races of intelligent, bipedal, tool-using creatures. Most are distinguished from the Enlightened Races by their service to and worship of the Primals. Most are generally hostile towards the Eorzean Alliance, especially since the Garleans began to advance into Eorzea. The first Primal was summoned (within living memory) by one of the Beast Tribes sometime between 1557 and 1562 in the Sixth Astral Age.

While the Beast Tribes are stereotyped as more savage and less intelligent than the Enlightened Races, they each have their own unique culture. Some of them are capable of harnessing the power of Aetherytes which are found well protected in the heart of their territories.

Not all of the Beast Tribes are unwelcome in the Eorzean alliance. Goblin traders and engineers can be found within Limsa Lominsa, for example. Likewise, Gridania's Elder Seedseer Kan-E-Senna has been actively working towards an alliance with the Sylphs since before the Calamity.

Within all of the Beast Tribes, there are individuals (or even individual clans) that might befriend adventurers if approached correctly.
