She realizes relentless conquering and subjugation is not the way, yadda yadda yadda, but then whoops here comes he Empire, so much for that peaceful new life.
If they found out she's actually not dead she is FUCKED, so she has to flee to Eorzea with all the other Doman refugees, much as she may want to either stand & fight for her new home or even rejoin them and go back to her old one. She can't do either, it sucks, is probably still a sore point.
I earnestly love this idea and development that I want to adopt this into her story. After putting more thought into it I think it would be best to make this change after reading through multiple feedbacks I've gotten so far that the idea I'm pursuing is over complicated. I do understand the reasoning for the number of objection against the idea since Garlemald as a nation is hell bent on subjugating Eorzea into imperial rule and there's no room to ask or wonder if this is the general consensus of everyone within Garlemald's political structure judging from the general perspective of the community. Reason why I thought that there was room to question this and pursue it is mainly because we know so little about Garlemald's political structure and the people involved that makes up for that structure as we do with Ishgard of Ul'dah.Â
This is just my guess but prior to Heavensward, if someone had made a character like Aymeric who served as a diplomat between Ishgard and the three nation that wished to talk about peace, this very idea would most likely have been met with the same objections since Ishgard as a nation wanted to keep it's neutrality. At the time we honestly couldn't have known what the political hierarchy of Ishgard was like other than intelligent guesses some of which probably turned out to be true and others turned out to be a neat surprise. As we don't know the inner workings of Garlemald how can we be absolutely certain that there is no faction who goes against the idea of world domination in their politics without being Yoshi? Unless it's been stated by the developers otherwise I thought there can't be an absolute certainty that there is no such factions within Garlemald that didn't fancy the idea of world domination and dictatorship. The hints I got was that there were attempts before where Garlemald's dictatorship was challenged by 9 usurpers (reason for their rebellion was vague unless it was absolutely certain that they were just another dictator who wished to replace the emperor) so I think there might be room to question that not everyone went along with the idea because Garlemald operates like a hive mind.Â
For that reasoning I thought it could be reasoned with then that there might be such a faction who oppose the empire but is a very part of that same empire. Horrible comparison I know but similarly Aymeric and the Temple Knights, were part of Ishgard but had differing views than the total neutrality sought by Ishgard and he worked to collaborate with the other nations against the Pope's judgment.Â
But in any case, I won't be pursuing with this idea as it seems that the general community won't acknowledge this reasoning and I do understand the logic behind that perfectly well. Hell, even I was highly skeptical about it at first when it was all written down on paper but I thought to convince myself that depending on how it's all executed it might just turn out to be viable and fun. I figured that depending on how it's played out, it might even become Camp Dragonhead 2.0 just with Ex-Garleans who desire peace between the 4 nations and their homeland aiding a different cause. Yes at this point you're all thinking I'm mad lol. But I thought it might give a nice foundation for those wanting to rp as a Garlean deserter to find reason to remain loyal to Garlemald (not the Emperor) by working with the rest of Eorzean nations to work out peace.Â
Thank you so much for all the input. I know it's been one stressful ride for some of you trying to educate a stubborn noob to the point a few of you seems to have lost their patience during the course and I sincerely want to apologize for that. I've transferred over to Balmung but I find myself now wondering if I should scrap the idea altogether along with a name change depending on what I salvage from the current character.Â
Lastly are there any FC/Linkshells that focuses on the Doman Refugees and Ninjas?
