@Sounsyy Thank you so much for such well cited and articulated explainations! They helped greatly, and I was dumb enough to forget all about Theordic. I appreciate you taking time to compile all of this information for me and also referencing me back to information pre-SB. In a way that helps kinda help form a bias of what was going on in terms of the limited narrative that was available in Eorzea in regards to Ala Mhigo. One who was living for years outside would only be able to grasp so much of the conflict. Once again, thank you! @Valence Those are all good points and thank you for the Northern Invasion tactic. Your post was very helpful and the mentioning of the Lochs/East Shroud terrain helps put geography into perspective. It was so kind of you to write a response; I'm really grateful!

I am currently working on finalizing a character concept for an Ala Mhigan, but I am still working out a timeline of how fast the occupation took hold of Ala Mhigo and the construction of various Garlean structures. I believe that Ala Mhigo was occupied 20 years ago, and assuming the entered through Ala Ghiri -as it was a port city to the east to begin with, so I would assume that would be an area susceptible to invasion-, then I'm guessing Specula Imperatoris and Porta Praetoria were some of the first Garlean structures. Ala Ghanna is pretty heavily affected by the cut off from the capital and would forseeably fall into line, however I'm unsure as to how heavily involved Garlemald would be in that area considering Rhalgr's Reach was largely hidden away within distance of Ala Ghanna. Considering that Castellum Velodyna is founded in the southern region of The Fringes before eventually establishing Castrum Oriens, I'm getting the feeling that if there was a place that would have been technically under occupation but would be a place where people fled at a later date than the initial invasion it would be Ala Ghanna. So my proposition would be: Ala Ghiri > Specula Imperatoris/Porta Praetoria > Ala Mhigo > Castellum Velodyna > Gradual occupation of Ala Ghanna/Rhalgr's Reach remains hidden due to lack of interest in Ala Ghanna > Castellum Velodyna > Castrum Oriens The reason I'm trying to construct a timeline is because I'd like to have my Ala Mhigan have lived briefly under the Garlean Empire but in an area that had yet to be fully occupied within the first few month/year. There is probably some people who have already figured out the war strategy or that it is in game and I've been just too clueless to find it so any help would be fantastic! And any general feedback on the idea would be lovely! Thank you for taking your time to read this! Edit: Upon posting this this seems much more lore question than character workshop, ahhh, I'm unsure how to delete this though oops. I am so sorry.
