[spoiler] empire might vs eorzea might

[Cilia]

It would... be very interesting to learn more about what, exactly, the intentions of the Ala Mhigans were in regards to their attempt at conquering the rest of Eorzea. If they had succeeded, what would life under their rule be like for those involved?

I don't see what it has to do with anything, but King Manfred tried to begin large-scale campaigns to claim territory and spur economic growth in light of trade routes shifting to the high seas, denying Ala Mhigo one of its main sources of income. Gridania caught wind of this and deployed troops to the Velodyna River; the rest is history.

What life would have been like under an Eorzea ruled by Ala Mhigo is both unknown and unknowable. It's kind of a moot point.
