Bit of spoiler, but, helpful.
Do remember that Doma is indeed razed, but, we don't know about the rest of Othard and how much has been fully conquered. There could be pockets of cities, nobles residing in said cities, villages, etc. It's fairly vague and I wouldn't put a ton of specifics into the idea. Leave it open, but seated in some sort of plausibility until we either get lore or, perhaps, just a reasoning why your character would be present in Eorzea.
