Lore question about Highlanders - Gahrak - 09-04-2013
I've been looking around, and I haven't been able to find out, but how long ago did Ala Mhigo fall to the Garlean Empire? If it wasn't too long ago I was possibly thinking about making my highlander from there. Sorry if this is a silly question lol.

I want to say in the 1.0 timeline, it was said the current generation completely grew up under Garlean rule. Looks like 15 years before the Calamity. So 20 years ago.

Alright, thanks.

1557 of the Sixth Astral Era (20 years before ARR start)
Five years before the Battle at Silvertear Lake (1562) where the Garleans got their butts whipped by dragons.
My character (well, both of them) are highlanders. John is in his mid-to-late 50s and his son is in his mid 30s. I am tip-toeing around the Ala Mhigian lore until more is learned. So I am interested in anything new that pops up!

When CC restrictions are lifted, my main's set to be a Highlander, so helpful to know, especially since I was looking at Ala Mhigo as well for a background! Still wish there was a little more lore out there, for a lot of things.
