1: Does Ishgarde own Coerthas? The three city-states I've been to (I'm only level 18) all seem to own the land in their surrounding regions, but it's my understanding that Ishgarde's gates have been closed to the outside world, so is Coerthas actually theirs or not?
2: Are all of the refugees from Ala Mhigo in Ul'dah poor or is it conceivable that some wealthier ones have fled to Ul'dah too?
1. I don't think most of the cities actually own their surrounding land. Not in the sense that they'd sell it. Their armies protect the borders. (Grand Companies). Many of the other locations are other camps/settlements/hamlets.
2. No. There are some wealthy and well-to-do Ala Mhigans. Raubahn is one of them. Sounsyy has some great posts about Ala Mhigo going into details. The Bloodsands are also one of the ways some Ala Mhigans achieved wealth. We just happen to see a lot of poor refugees because people with more resources wouldn't be out on the streetss.
