What do you think of Ala Mhigo?

Except that Rhalgr is a god, so he's a being of faith in the first place, shaped by people's beliefs. So actually, it is the true Rhalgr, just like beastmen tribe primals are their "true" selves, too :)

Thavarian (?) has been mentioned a few times lately and we've even gotten a dance and clothing from that region as well as a couple of NPC's. It's not too far away from Ala Mhigo if I'm not mistaken so we could end up going there as well.

In addition to Ala Mihgo's region of Gyr Albania there's also Xelphatol on Coerthas and The Shroud's eastern border and making the west border of Gyr Albania. Problem being, other than the Ixali there's not really anything in Xelphatol.

I don't really care for Ala Mhigo. I have some mild interest in whatever magitek the Garleans may have deployed there, but that's about it.

So what does that mean for those players, such as myself, who chose Rhalgr as our guardian? Or are a monk?
I find the concept of being forced into slaying the object of your worship... unpleasing.

no one cares about ala mhingo not even SE, they squashed that ilberd and the rouge crystal braves side story real quick for the whole Ishgard conspiracy thing

To be fair, if yda and papalymo are working with the ala mihgan resistance, it could mean for some odd bedfellows if Illbred is working with them too.

You're not slaying your god, you're slaying a blasphemous, Ascian corrupted, primal falsely claiming himself to be your God and ergo it's your duty as followers of the TRUE Destroyer to slay the false deity masquerading as your God.

I don't know about the Ascien corrupted part, since Louisoix's method of Summoning the 12 during the Calamity would still have resulted in the 12 wanting to temper and consume aether like any primal.

But yeah, that's pretty much the reason why many of the non-tempered beastribe don't worship their respective primal

I'd rather see Radz-at-Han or Sharlayan (country, not colony) way, way more. However, it would give the MSQ a connection to world events and a way to make more powerful statements on displaced refugees, so I think it'll at least be a part of the late 3 or early 4 MSQ, if I may hope it won't be the focus. Ala Mhigo would be a great dungeon or raid, though.

Radz-at-han is a city in Thavnaria iirc.
