There are a couple of references to Dalmasca as an Othardian state. You're correct, it's where the hermit Drest was conscripted from after it fell to the Empire. It seems Livia sas Junius had something big to do with the battles there; in German they call her "Die Hexe von Dalmasca." (The Curse of Dalmasca?)
