The Hrothgar of Ilsabard
The Hrothgar are sturdy lionlike humanoids who inhabit the distant shores of Ilsabard. The Hrothgar Ilsabard was first introduced as a debut character in Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers. The Hrothgar was first known as Ronso during The First, one of the available races in the Final Fantasy X game. During their first encounter with other races, the Hrothgar are considered as nuisance and savages for their inability to communicate and interact with civilized races. Interactions with commoners often end up in conflicts and misunderstood fights. Through the dedication of the Hrothgar, they were able to master the Common tongue, allowing them to be understood and considered as friendly neighbors welcome in all corners of Hydaelyn.
Hrothgar Physical Appearance
FFXIV Hrothgar’s appearance is similar to the Miqo’te who displays bestial traits such as feline ears and long furry tails. What differentiates the Hrothgar is their much evident animalistic built. They have sharp claws and deadly fangs. Their body is covered with feline furs but their feet are more humanoid and not paw-like. Their face depicts a lion and their heads are covered in the mane. Hrothgar can reach a minimum height of 6’5” to a maximum height of 6’11”.
Hrothgar Clans
The Hrothgar is comprised of two distinct clans, the Helion clan identifiable by their vibrant and warm-colored furs, and the Lost clan attributed to their fine white furs.
Helions reside in the southern area of Ilsabard, contented with their traditional way of life, being devout servants of their queens. Natively speaking, the Hrothgar have no other words to describe themselves. Scholars from around the continent pertained to them as Helions after observing how their lifestyle revolves around their tribe’s queen; like depicting planets circling the sun.
The Lost Hrothgar is different in comparison to their Helion brethren. They are unbound and free of any whims from a queen. They found freedom from this monarch system and have decided to live on their own in a nomadic lifestyle. They involve themselves in a variety of trades which almost always involve traveling. They are commonly hired as seasonal laborers, mercenaries, caravan guards, or goods peddlers.

The Hrothgar is one of the original wielders of the infamous gunblade. The Gunbreaker job is a common job undertaken by the Hrothgar. Originally, these Gunbreakers are hired as personal guards of Queen Gunnhildr. The weapon combines the concept of the sword and a firing mechanism, allowing the user to do melee attacks and magical ranged attacks using imbued cartridges.

Top Hrothgar Name Suggestion
What is considered a big deal in having a great Hrothgar name? The answer is with the name’s phonetics and meaning. A perfect Hrothgar name is a name that depicts something strong, loyal, or independent, depending on if your character clan is Helion or Lost.
For a male Helion Hrothgar, we recommend the name Aethelred. We see this character as someone charismatic, honorable, and full of wisdom. It sounds nice when pronounced and gives a nice impression of a strong character.
For a male Lost Hrothgar character, we recommend Herleifr. This name sounds very peculiar, yet it gives an impression of a character with a strong personality. We associated this name with someone whose lineage came from a line of warriors, or someone who is skilled with weapons. Lost Hrothgar, being away from their respective tribes, will tend to have decent jobs as guards or mercenaries, which means they should be great with weapons to defend themselves against monsters or bandits.
