Mithra

Mithra is a race available for play in Final Fantasy XI. They are agile cat-like humanoids. Mithra players are rewarded if they start in the city of Windurst, which is an adopted homeland, with a Windurst Ring. They are not particularly strong, brilliant, or charismatic, but they have outstanding Dexterity and Agility which help them hit more often and get hit less often. They are ideal for classes like Ranger, Ninja, and particularly Thief. Unfortunately, their skills get them labeled as a race of thieves and cheats, which is also reflected in character preference since nearly 1 in 3 Mithra players choose to level Thief above all other jobs. Mithra have otherwise fairly average statistics and can play almost any of the jobs without great difficulty, with posible exception given to Beastmaster and Bard due to their low charisma scores.

Players can only choose to be a female Mithra, should they want to play one. Players have been lead to believe that Mithra men are fairly rare and because of this, they are something of a commodity. Only the more numerous females go out to adventure. With the release of the expansion Wings of the Goddess there is now one male Mithra NPC, named Lehko Habhoka who takes part in the past Windurst storyline.

Notable Mithra include Nanaa Migho and Naja Salaheem.

Plot Details
The Mithra city on Vana'diel is known as Kazham. It was an added city when the Rise of the Zilart expansion was added and it is a tropical paradise. The first time that players come to Kazham, they will have to travel by Airship from Jeuno after completing a quest for an Airship Pass. They will actually be welcomed with the phrase, "Welcome to this Tropical Paradise."

Since Kazham is on the Island of Elshimo, which is infested with Goblins and Sahagin, and outside of the stockades of Kazham, it is not very hospitable, many of them chose to migrate to Windurst, their home away from home.

In terms of important NPCs, there are relatively few Mithra who make it to the upper eschelons of society.
