The idea of turning around and trying to curry favor with Doma's conquerors left a poor taste in Kazukata's mouth. He also neglected to return to his mountain home, instead settling down as a farmer in the fertile countryside, where he attempted to live as normal a life as possible under Garlean rule. For nearly 20 years, he lived uneventfully in the Doman countryside as a farmer, and though it was rarely easy or pleasant, he managed to eke out a living. Together with his wife, Asa, Kazukata managed to successfully avoid the worst of the Empire's harsh rule and went largely forgotten. |

As the war turned against the Domans, Kazukata was assigned to the retreating Doman army's rearguard. As the war approached the capital, he received a grievous wound, a deep sword thrust between his ribs. He didn't awake until two days later, and found himself on one of the Doman refugee ships, his homeland naught but ash behind him. Just like that, the war had ended while he had been unconscious. He would never again see his home, or his wife, who had most likely been executed just for being married to him. Everything he had ever known or lived for had come crashing down while he had been asleep. The loss crippled Kazukata, and he wouldn't recover until long after he came to Eorzea.</font></div><br> | As the war turned against the Domans, Kazukata was assigned to the retreating Doman army's rearguard.

To Kazukata, it had seemed ridiculous that Eorzea should still be standing at all and that the people were surviving through sheer willpower. Their continued survival was nothing short of baffling, but also struck a chord that began to rouse Kazukata from his stupor and gave him something he had been missing since he had left Doma: hope. |

Inspired by the tales of Eorzea's adventurers, Kazukata eventually resolved to join their ranks, and once more took up his spear, hoping to become an inspiration for others as other adventurers have become an inspiration for him.</font></div> |
