Doman and Ala Mhigan Soldiers

One thing people overlook with ala mhigo in particular is it's history. Ala mhigo for the most part had no real stability in the long term and could only really earn it's keep by hiring out mercenaries after Ul'dah bested them at trade. Ironically the ala mhigans got the industry they craved but at a great cost to their freedom, they essentially got dealt a monkeys paw. Those who fight for it may do so since there really isn't much to go back to in their eyes.

There's a soldier in Mor Dhona I believe that you can find outside the back gate who tells you that he only joined so his mother would stop nagging, and that he just wanted to play cards (gambler class when). There's another that's just sitting off to the side not caring that you're there. The fact that there's people out there who are like "eh" seem to me like they would /playdead. Not guaranteed to work but not everyone's a lost cause!
