Current - Rumors of a Princess Ashe leading a resistance in Rabanastre

The general idea is that some of the Garlean's ancestors were form Goug. They abandoned the city for the continent after their city/tower was destroyed (and were taken in by the country of Ivalice). Ivalice's population is then forced out of Ivalice and they eventually found Garlemld in the far north of Ilsabard. Dalmasca is then founded where Ivalice was.

Liva was not at Dalmasca when it was annexed. Thirty years after Dalmsca was annexed by the XIth Legion, there's a large enough rebellion that Garlean reinforcements are needed in Rabanastre. Livia (and part of the XIVth probably) are those reinforcements. I assume this happens after Ala Mhigo has fallen as this would put the Dalmascan annexation happening in the forty year gap between Garlemald becoming and Empire and Doma (which is south of Dalmasca) being annexed. Whether this happens after the Battle for Silvertear Skies is more iffy.

Further thoughts on Yotsuyu

I find it very interesting that Tsuyu's reaction to remembering what she did as Yotsuyu is to commit suicide. She almost does it too. It's only due Asahi's timely intervention that she's even alive to summon Tsukuyomi (or is in the right frame of mind to do it).

The thing with me about Yotsuyu is that we have no personal connection with her. She's really nothing more then an obstacle to us for Doman peace. The only way I can see her having a connection to us is if the WoL is from Doma which varies from person to person.

She's not like Ysalye or Estinian where we spent the greater part of an MSQ traveling with them.
