Rhalgrs Reach should never have existed

[Evergrey]

I feel it was wasted, yes... it was fine till Zenos broke in, after that we should have hidden in some of the villages, sneak into the city and retake part of it - then storm the Palace and have our hub based around there (potential Ala Mhigo restoration and housing for 7/8/9.0...) and have a Proper city there. We know its there, just not accessible for us. It made me dislike stormbloods hubs a lot. I loved Kugane, but besides the MB and Eureka and the Inn there was nothing there (the rowena npc's were added much later).

IMO stormblood suffered from the split and the split itself suffered from them insisting on the 4.0 + 4.1-4.3 + 4.4-4.5 formula.

It always felt weird to me that after Zenos wrecked havoc that we still stayed there.
Normally wouldn't a location that's been compromised get evacuated and relocated?

A fair point but zenos also sabotaged the entire war effort just to have someone to fight with. With him refusing to finish us off the imperial raid lost a lot of its bite while at the same time eorzean alliance reinforcements arriving. If this raid had happened before the involvement of the scions and the alliance the rebels would have had to abandon rhalgr's reach but that has changed, with baelsar's wall and then later the bridge falling under allied control. At that point it was a legit stronghold, backed up by enough reinforcements to prevent an imperial raid from permanently occupying it.
