Yeah - for Doma, and Othard in general I assume, you're looking at horses. All the Domans in MSQ call chocobos "horsebirds" and complain about how bad they smell.
Alrighty, I'll consider removing that little portion. The only reason I included that little snippet with the chocobo was because I RP'd Shino having a fear of Chocobos beforehand, to the point where she vehemently refuses to go near any of them. (Another point where RPing before having a background figured out biting me yet again).
I'll probably figure something else out relating to that (Either dropping that trait or just make her dislike them by their smell)
I didn't realize that The previous Emperor's death was what triggered the rebellion, so I'll adjust that too in the final draft

( okay granted, it's a FF6 rip off and all, but still )
We know only scarse info on how Garleans actually rule their conquered nations, but what we do know is that the more those nations get confrontational with their invader, the harsher the garleans will be in return. Most of the nations surrounding the Garlean Republic in Ilsabard were either conquered by force, or some joined willingly. We know absolutely nothing on them, but they seem to have been left mostly alone as long as they participate to garlean society (conscripts that have to do a certain amount of years of service before becoming true citizens, otherwise they are treated like shit). They keep appointing their own governors and leaders, and keep most of their way of life however.
But in the case of difficult cities like Ala-Migho that continue to rebel and run guerrilla against the empire, and Doma that outwardly revolted massively, it's a whole different story. The former are living under an iron rule and harsh curfews and rules, and the latter got burned to the ground, razed out of the map.
I see, chances are I'll keep stuff like that vauge (How Domans were treated/specifics on their way of life under Garlean rule) down the line just in case Square elaborates more on the on-goings of Empire controlled nations (Hopefully in 4.0).
Thank you guys for the input!
