I guess Doma Castle flooding can be seen in different ways, but between that and then manipulating tribesmen and using their customs against them to get them to fight for a war well.... take that as you will. The lore book specifically says they were forced to conquer due to being pushed out into the severe,cold region with horrible farming plots and a harsh environment. I don’t really see anything wrong with chemical warfare on this setting though? How is it any different from people who use magic. Chemical warfare is just their version of magic since they can’t actually exploit it. Idk where you’re getting the century thing based on.You don’t know if Gabranth’s idea would fall apart is the thing, that’s purely headcanon and speculation. The same really could be applied to the Bozjan resistance. His ideals seemed a hell of a lot better than what Bozja was raised upon and even some of the current ones. Just really weird to me how people continue to bash on Garlemald for things that even the city states are guilty for. Slavery and Zombification of a rival city? Uldah. Mass murder? Limsa. Correct me if im wrong but Doma intended to summon a primal, which would be a magical version of "chemical warfare" given the aether it drains.
