Oh cool! Shows how much attention I've been paying, apparently. Can you tell me where that's mentioned?

Papalymo Wrote:There is a network of tunnels beneath Baelsar's Wall─secret passages dug by the resistance to provide a way out of Ala Mhigo. If all are in agreement, I would be the one to undertake the necessary negotiations. I am familiar with the route, and the Resistance is familiar with me.

1571 - The Archons of the Circle of Knowing infiltrate occupied Gyr Abania in an attempt to assist those Ala Mhigans who seek asylum abroad, but many lives are lost when the Garleans catch wind of the defection.

Since our escape, the Empire has increased the number of guards who patrol the city-state, and were we to fail, this might very well be the last party ever to make the journey south from Ala Mhigo.

Unless something is done, a whole generation of children will grow up never knowing Eorzea. Never knowing freedom.

From the 3.5 quest Griffin, Griffin On the Wall:

Other mentions of slipping past Baelsar's Wall come up in the lore book and from Resistance member dialogue:
