Skulls and Ala Mighen Citizens
So I just finished liberating Doma in the storyline and headed back to Eorzea but a question has been nagging at me.
Early on in the MSQ there is talk about "skulls" which is described (at least to me) as a group of Ala Mhigen children that were selected at birth to be imperial citizens with all the rights and responsibilities.
So what I am to make of this is after the empire took over Ala Mhigo they started picking out children (and families?) to have a sort of "special status" and receive nicer treatment by making them full fledged citizens. And a sect of these children were formed into the skulls group which sort of acts like a police force in the ala mhigen outskirts?
Why would the empire do this if true? Why seemingly arbitrarily selected groups/families for special status? What do they gain from it? Is it just to foment resentment?
If this gets expanded on later in the story just say so, but I would prefer not spoilers if you dont mind.
