[Discussion] Ala Mhigo and it's hypocrisy...

[VargasVermillion]

No one knows where the Amalj'aa animosity comes from but it was mentioned in the Hildebrand quest of all places that during a war with the sister city before it was destroyed (forgot the name) amalj'aa warriors were among the ranks of the ul'dahns. So they were actually allies at one stage.
Most likely reason would be they summoned Ifrit to defend against the Garlean threat and in doing so became tempered and made the world their enemy in the process.

I was just going with the beastmen we have quests for. :/
We also don't really know a ton about the Qiqirn (besides their love of eggs) or Vanu Vanu (there was never really a reason why Bismark was summoned...he just was). For the Goblins, the Illuminati are basically trying to take over the world but as for the rest of them, it seems like they're just trying to find a home. We know the Gnath are interested in survival, and also very interested in conquest. I do suspect in 3.1 we'll be getting Goblin and Vanu Vanu dailies, so we'll get more info then.

I also thought the Mamool Ja were brought from the New World as mercenaries before the Calamity, and are now wandering because there's no work for them in peace? IDK, I don't feel like they're going to summon a Primal anytime soon.

I just hope that unlike the members of Little Ala Mhigo, the people will recognize my character as a Highlander and mention it during conversations.

The rift between Ul'dah and the Amalj'aa was formed when the Garlean Empire showed up. Basically, the Garleans saw all beastmen as a threat since they worship a primal. Because of this, Ul'dah cast the Amalj'aa out in an effort to save face. This obviously didn't pay off, though, as the Garleans later sent messages via their linkpearls stating that those who didn't side with Garlemald in their genocidal hunt would be treated as beastmen non-the-less. It was the Almlj'aa's abandonment by Ul'dah that led to their talks with the "Paragons", and eventually the summoning of their god, Ifrit.

Mamool Ja's are indeed mercenaries that turned rouge when they where left without a job.

Qiqirins are merchants that travel to any place where they can win clink clinks

Goblins are a bit of merchants/scavengers/treasure hunters/mercenaries that always do their own thing you better judge them by individual not by race they are one of the most diverse race job wise i think.

Keep in mind tho, the midlanders are the reason the calamity happened from a long time ago.the city of mostly elezens betrayed the alliance with apathy for a long time and committing war crimes for a thousand years. Au'ra have bloody history. Lalafells and midlanders turn eachother into zombies or kill 9 year old looking padjals using corrupt form of white magic. Miqo'te's culture is deeply sex based. Rogdalyns beyond 50 years ago are into piracy which probably involves murdering innocent people in boats and love Anonymous.

All 5 races are considered mankind with all the flaws they have. If The highlanders do not deserve a chance of peace, then neither should the other 4 city states.

It's quite ironic that the most violent of the 12 gods (Halone and Rhalgr) are worshipped the the most violent Eorzean City-States.

Interesting to see that each past and current city-state all share some traits of their respective patron Deity

I don't think that's ironic at all, really. That makes sense. Violent people worshiping violent gods seems perfectly logical and in no way ironic. Now, if Ishgard worshiped Menphina, that would be ironic.
