    As for Ala Mhigo's political troubles, it's hard to say. The final fall of Ala Mhigo was surely due to Legatus Baelsar's manipulations, but did he create the entire conflict or simply add fuel to an already existing fire? The destruction of the Monks and tyrannical behavior by Theodoric took place around 1552, five years before they actually took the city. Did Gaius capitalize on an already bad situation, or was the Emperor totally fine with sitting around for five years after declaring it open season on Aldenard just to fell the first city? This remains unanswered, as far as I know.
    I remember the speculation with the Male and Female Elezen and being the Black Mage, I just didn't remember Ferne saying he might show up again. And I'd say the loss of the Monks was a direct impact on the loss of the entire city. But who can say even if Ala Mhigo had their entire Monk force if they could have stopped the Garleans and their Magitek. It was probably well known that Ala Mhigo was the strongest military city-state and how strong their Monks were. Gaius van Baelsar may not have instigated things with King Theoderic, but was definitely able to capitalize on it easily enough..unrest would be easy to spark after such bloodshed.

    You know Noloe? That image of the Elezen Dragoon is actually my very own screenshot... taken right after I completed the AF quests in-game. I put that on my blog about 15 months ago. In fact, the file name is still the same.

    Secondly, (again because I actually posted the image up on my blog), several people have speculated that the Dragoon is in fact an Elezen... even on your image, look at the ears on the Dragoon VERY closely... pointy innit? Perhaps a better enlarged picture of my one from my blog can be found HERE

    And yes, Ferne did mention an excellent legendary explanation for a LOT of the lore regarding the "Warriors of Light"...(BTW, its on page 23 of this thread)... we know he explained this already. Which is why if you read my post above, I specifically said "like I said then, I'm still seriously wondering where the Elezen male is..."

    Several of us (like then and again now) were simply speculating on where he might be... and how awesome it would be to help the group in a quest to find him.
    Elezen Dragoon like Lalafell Dragoons have 2 protrusions from their helmet. The 'silver' spikes in your picture (which lol it was just one of the first to appear on google) and the regular spikes like on the concept art.



    Might be hard to see but there's 2 points, silver for the ears and the regular points on the helm

    Here's a close up of Estinein, an Elezen Dragoon and both points are seen.



    So if you look at the concept art..there's only 1 spike.



    As for the other image you posted, the 'silver' part doesn't stick out like the ears would, but it's similar to the Miqo'te's style of the helmet. The silver being there but not prominently sticking out. More so styled closer to the helm.



    Edit: Not saying it's a Miqo'te. The art does lack a Male Miqo and female Roegadyn though. I assume the Black Mage is the female Elezen though, looking carefully you can see ear protrusions.
