Ahem! Prior to the razing of Doma, the city-state was under Imperial occupation. However, this doesn't necessarily mean escape, migration, or defection/resistance are out of the question. Meaning, we have some lore instances where Far Eastern (see: Othardian) goods, exports, etc still come to Eorzea. Also the Uma Bugyo shows up pre-Yugiri. Could this just be a whoopsie on SE's part? Maybe, but the possibility that Limsa Lominsa and Ul'dah still engage in trade with Garlean controlled territories is very real and very difficult to ignore as there are many instances of it occurring.
That said, no one should be giving you flak for 1) being a Doman Lalafell or 2) being a Doman in Ul'dah.
While the official ruling of the Syndicate was that they would not support Doman Refugees, that does not mean they were banned from the city. Officially, the Doman's took up residence in Revenant's Toll in Mor Dhona, but once there, I'm sure Domans wishing to be adventurers or those who wish to learn a select trade would be able to venture to other nations in Eorzea to do such. And point of fact, the Ninja storyline surrounds Domans who are operating in Vylbrand of all places, which is very far from Revenant's Toll. (Limsa also denied Domans sanctuary by the way, so...)
As for the Lalafell thing... don't let it get to you. People are dumb. I get weird looks sometimes for playing an Ala Mhigan Miqo'te, despite one of Ala Mhigo's greatest champions in lore being a Miqo'te. To date, there is not a single place in Hydaelyn that has been home to only one race. And Doma is absolutely no exception! Here's proof:
Meet Yamimi Farwalker, a Lalafellin merchant hailing from the Far East. She makes an appearance in the quest, "Remember Me This Moonfire Faire."
Yamimi Farwalker Wrote:A thousand pities I couldn't meet Master Haermaga. My customer thought the world of him. Tis for the boy's sake I wrote the good master and made the long journey to Limsa Lominsa... ...In the last moon of his life, the boy asked me about the Far East. He had dreamed of adventuring there, I think, him and Master Haermaga together.
My advice, avoid these so called "Lore-Nazis" who are harassing you, cuz they don't know much lore. With the right combination of lore knowledge and common sense, most anything is possible. Hope this helps! ^^ Light the signal if you have more questions!
