Quote:Lucia was not known to be a Garlean when she arrived.So you concede that Ishgard has an established history of allowing outsiders a path to citizenship? Even if they believed she was just a Hyur, she was not born in Ishgard.
Quote:Where does the line between Adventurers and Working Wanderers stand? Is this a hard and fast rule? Would a Working Wanderer with no knowledge or respect for Halone be given work? What about an Adventurer or sell-sword that's completely pious?Ishgardians, particularly those in Coerthas, demonstrate an extreme distaste for adventurers meddling in Ishgardian affairs. How an adventurer may get into their better graces is subjective, but adherence to the Ishgardian belief system is likely one such avenue, as they use the term "unbeliever" to refer to outsiders as well.
Quote:At this point, I'm really just trying to show that neither side is definite.We don't know anything and we never will. Something something David Hume something something billiards.
This doesn't change the fact that there are several compelling reasons to believe those gatewardens are Ishgardian, and no compelling reasons not to.
