The Roegadyn is a race hailing from the seas north of Eorzea in the most celebrated videogame 'Final Fantasy.'
They are featured in the 14th installment of the 'Final Fantasy XIV' game series. Most of them hail from the Sea Wolf tribe and live by the sea, working as fishermen, with some becoming pirates or mercenaries.
They are characterized by their enormous, muscular builds and are known for emphasizing the cultural importance of competition and undying courage. Some, however, are shown to have a more tender and soft introspective side.
The female Roegadyns have fierce faces and large muscular builds but are sleeker and shorter than their male kin.
There are two clans of Roegadyn who are predominant; Sea wolves and Hellguard.
The Sea wolves being maritime people are mostly seamen, pirates, and mercenaries, who have settled in large concentrations by the north seas, by way of which they arrived in Eorzea. The Hellsguard clan is known to be the only reclusive Roegadyn who have mastered the magical arts and resides deep in the volcanic mountains of Ul'dah.
The people from these two clans have stark differences when it comes to appearance. The Sea Wolf Roegadyn usually have pale skin and silvery-white hair, while the ones hailing from Hellsguard have dark skin and dark hair.
Nevertheless, both Sea Wolves and Hellguard clans are known for their rough and robust exteriors, and the fiercest warriors are mostly from these Roegadyn clans.
The word "Roegadyn" literally means 'people of the rain': "roega" is a diminutive version of the word 'roegan,' meaning "rain" and "dyn," meaning "people." It is significant because the weather in the northern islands, which is their dwelling place, fluctuates from torrential downpours to thick fog.
A Roegadyn name usually consists of two words from the Eorzean language or from words derived from natural surroundings they have adapted to. The names of the Roegadyns in 'Final Fantasy XIV,' however, differ because of the two sub-races.
The Sea wolves use names derived from the ancient Roegadyn language, while Hellsguard names consist of two words and are derived from their usual natural surroundings to which they have adapted to.
