After thinking on it a bit more, I think it's pretty likely that, rather us going there as the first step to liberate Ala Mhigo, Baelsar's Wall and the events surrounding it will be what starts moving the plot in that direction. That would let the game continue its current pattern of having the MSQ dungeon happen early on in the quests without things feeling too sudden or rushed, and I hope it (or something like it) ends up being the direction taken.

Well, SOME of them have been. Remember, Ilberd isn't the entire resistance, and while there have certainly been other extremists, there have been plenty of moderates in and around Little Ala Mhigo as well. In fact, hasn't it been pretty much confirmed that there are multiple factions of the resistance, some which we'll oppose and some we'll be working directly with? We'll certainly not be working with Ilberd, that's for sure.
