Hello ffxiv reddit!! I have been working for the past couple of weeks on a passion project (link below) with the help of friends and community members that wanted to see this come to fruition. In the past, I had created some fanmade "clans" of the Lalafell that garnered a lot of interest back then when I posted here. Recently, my community was talking about Lalafell history and how rich their lore is in about every corner of the game we've come to know and love... and how they generally just wanted more! And in my mind, that turned to this: An entire lore compendium filled with every scrap of lore I could find from the game itself and the eorzea encyclopedias, as well as build up my fanmade clans while I was at it. It was a huge undertaking, and a lot of folks have contributed with their own ideas and characters to fill the pages where they are apt.
That's not to say that this is completely and utterly everything there is to know, but it's a pretty big majority spanning the length of 19 whole pages! A lot of them are word for word from the eorzea encyclopedia itself, or snippets I've managed to dig up from official sites and videos surrounding 1.0. The pages have been designed to appear as though you're reading one of the pages from the encyclopedia book itself. And if you don't quite care for fancy graphics, there is a text document with everything written down for easy reading. For those who kept asking during the process, I have included a clip studio paint file of the template I created and used throughout each page (So that someone else can create their own project for other races or fanmade ideas of their own)! It took enough of my well-being working on this and I'd rather not touch other lore I'm not as familiar with ^^;;
Thanks again and I hope this compendium serves as a way to easily share everything about Lalafell to those who love playing as one and who wants to learn more about... everything! Though do let me know if you happen to find interest in the fanmade clans, I made them in mind with creating variety while still a plausible possibility within the canon lore.

Disclaimer: There will be some pretty large spoilers with Shadowbringers and Dawntrail showing up in regards to the pages about the Dwarves and Milalla respectively. I have set them as the final pages to keep that in mind! No mods were used in the creation of this document and every "adjustment" has been hand-drawn in (Mainly the fanmade clan eyes). Please view the drive in grid format for better visuals.
