The only (farfetched) theory I can come up with that makes sense is that Godbert somehow knew that the Scions, who had just recently relocated to Mor Dhona, would take the Domans in. If Godbert is actually funding the construction and expansion of Mor Dhona, either through donations to Rowena or the Adventurers' Guild, his decision to veto Doman sanctuary in Ul'dah would actually work beneficially for him, Ul'dah, and the Domans.Â
This hinges entirely too much on ifs and unconfirmed stuff when there's a much easier way to justify it.
Godbert looks at Pearl Lane, sees how the Ala Mhigan refugees are treated. Why the fuck would he subject another group to that treatment knowing what we know of the guy?
No need to think he's funneling money into Mor Dhona (Besides, Rowena is doing SO WELL on her own that she pretty much owns the place now) or use any placeholder lore.
Accepting new refugees does not mean actually caring for them. He'd certainly be aware of at least that.
Plus, his presence on that vote entirely depends on whether or not you did 2.2 Hildibrand before that cutscene. They can EASILY say that he wasn't there for the vote due to his wanderings.
