==Outdated information==
Not sure how active this wiki is in terms of talk pages, but much of this page (and likely the Helion and Hrothgar pages overall) used outdated information from pre and early Shadowbringers launch pages. Much of our understanding of Hrothgar culture and the distinction between "clans" was corrected when the community representatives provided the [https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/398566 Hrothgar naming conventions.]. I'll find time to do the same for the [[Hrothgar]] and [[Helions]] pages later on --[[User:SvobranAxio|SvobranAxio]] ([[User talk:SvobranAxio|talk]]) 05:21, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

The Lost

2023-06-24T05:18:23Z

SvobranAxio: Decently sized rewrite. Much of the lore on this page was from pre-launch shadowbringers and VERY early post-shadowbringers launch information that was later corrected with the official release of Hrothgar naming conventions.

[[File:the lost concept render1.jpg|150px|thumb|[[The Lost]]]]
[[The Lost]] clan (失われた一族, Ushinawareta ichizoku, meaning The clan of the Lost) are those [[Hrothgar]] who have found themselves bereft of their queen and, after a period of mourning, struck out on their own.<ref name="Naming">[https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/398566]</ref>

==History==
The Lost are a distinction of Hrothgar as identified by scholars in the same vein as [[Helions]]. However, for one reason or another, The Lost have found themselves bereft of their queen's presence. The techniques of the [[Gunbreaker]] are said to be inherited from the Hrothgar from Northern Ilsabard and passed down generations. Their weapons are what the [[Garlean Empire]] based theirs on after their invasion and eventual takeover.

==Physical Features==
Like their Helion brethren, the Lost are massive muscular Leonine humanoids with large fangs and claws, causing mass panic upon finally reaching the shores of Eorzea. The largest of the Lost can get up to 84 inches tall. Though it may seem that The Lost are exclusively found in light and cool colors, this is in fact a misconception resulting from scholars of other races imposing the Helion and The Lost labels upon the Hrothgar for distinction.<ref name="Naming"/>

==Culture==
Known for often adopting a nomadic life after the loss of their queen, The Lost are known for taking jobs in the trades, namely mercenaries, traders and peddlers, to name a few.<ref name="Creator">[Character Creation Screen]</ref>

==Nomenclature==
Hrothgar names are based around Slavic naming conventions, with the word "Thgar" meaning glory.<ref name="Records">
Like Helions, The Lost base their surnames upon that of their erstwhile queen, foregoing the Helion prefix "A-" in favor of appending the suffix "-sch", meaning "lost" in their tongue. <ref name="Naming"/>

==Notable Lost==
*[[Bajsaljen Ulgasch]]
*[[Xeven Svanasch]]
*[[Lovro Slanasch]]
*[[Velibor|Velibor Azetina]]
*[[Stanik|Stanik Alubov]]
*[[Blaz|Blaz Azetina]]
*[[Marsak Apella]]

==Notes and Trivia==
Despite not serving an active queen, The majority of the [[Bozjan Resistance]], including their leader, is made up of [[Hrothgar]] from [[The Lost]] clan.
*A number of characters within [[The Lost]] clan, such as [[Marsak Apella]], use [[Helion]] names. This is due to the fact that Hrothgar "clans" are only labels imposed by non-Hrothgar scholars and are not strictly followed by Hrothgar themselves. <ref name="Naming"/>
** Other examples: [[Stanik Alubov]], [[Blaz|Blaz Azetina]], [[Velibor Azetina]]
