Doman Reconstruction: Watchtower issues

[Bhearil]

If you want to look at it from a matter of practicality, they don't have the means to keep that thing in usable order indefinitely. Look at their architecture, they're not about and might not even know the large scale metallurgy required to keep that thing standing long term. It's better that they scrap it and re-purpose the metals towards smaller smithing projects in The Yard and then build up their own lighthouse rather than put effort into upkeep a symbol of their oppression just because it serves a practical purpose that could done with less trouble or be a constant, looming symbol of an attempt to erase their culture.

Except they mention the fact that its construction was so good that they were forced to spend a lot of resources to bring it down. Dont forget the fact that Garleans tend their buildings and keep them in good shape and Doma liberation has just happened so it could have been used for years if not decades before the repairs needed were out of doman skill. Garlean architecture is not Allaghan tech and there has been a lot of boasting about Doma blacksmithing skills before to now say: "sorry we suck, we are unable to understand at all a metal structure workings".

We are donating money for Doma to recover. If they want to remove perfectly functional garlean structures without bothering to repurposing it, means that they are getting more money than they need yet they keep begging for more.

This is akin to using NGO funds to blow apart a dictator huge palace for "reasons" after his fall instead of tending the people in need and then saying: "It was needed,it remembered us too much of the dictator so it had preference over anything else. But now give us more money to build another palace over the one we just blow up since the new one wont be reeking of dictatorship"

Once Doma recovers they can eat the garlean buildings for all i care and build golden Hien statues all over the country if they are willing to spend their funds on that, but when people is struggling so hard that need external help is not the moment to be picky with perfectly usable structures. Its like a refugee throwing his plate of fish to the floor cos he hates fish and wants meat instead. Well son, when you can get your own food then you can be picky with food not when others are feeding you for charity
