Random Theori/ramble (allag/mhach/ala mhigo)

[Enur]

Good point with Mhach and destruction.

What was Ala Mhigos deity? Rhalgr. The god of destructions. His symbol is a meteor. He is depicted as a magi carrying a bronze staff.

why would a military nation of lancers and monks revere a mage?
could rhalgr be another example of the twelves symbols changing over time? (menphina shows two moons)
Maybe all the mages of Mhach made the Void Ark while the rest saw them as wielders of destructive powers, then over time the idea slowly turned to into myth. to rhalgr.

no? and who says that Mhach didnt have Rhalgr as their deity? The Nyms have Oschon as their deity.

I'm not saing that Ala Mhigo didnt have Rhalgr. but boh them and Mhach could have the same god. Also yes seeing the statue of 2 highlanders on the voidark, is more or less evidence that Mhach has not only lalafells lol

The Mhachs that stayed on the groud were probably the ones who didnt believe on the ideas of that mage who was against the war ( look Noah's tale, more or less the same )

Then there is Cait Sith. From the minion description;

The clockwork rendition of an enigmatic cat spirit from the pages of Midlander mythology, Goldsmiths' Guild guildmaster Serendipity crafted this lifelike figurine to bring joy to those children who were orphaned in the Calamity.

Interestingly, the cat spirit we've now met, is from Midlander mythology...

Ultimately, Rhalgr the Destroyer best fit early Ala Mhigan culture the best. Prior to Ala Mhigo uniting as a kingdom, the Highlanders were all warring tribes hell-bent on fighting each other. Even as a nation they fought off numerous invasions and even attempted to conquer the rest of Eorzea. The Fist of Rhalgr were known for their destructive martial arts.

Note how each city state culture fit their respective patron Deity. So while Ala Mhigo may not have been a city full of mages, they were a city full of fighters.
