After the Garlean Empire conquered Doma, Hien went into hiding, leaving his people's spirits broken under imperial occupation. The empire's viceroy, Zenos yae Galvus, promoted Yotsuyu goe Brutus, a Doman turncoat who hates her countrymen, to acting viceroy in his absence. Hien's retainer, Gosetsu, comes to recall Yugiri and able-bodied Doman refugees, setting the stage for Hien's return. Unable to confront the Garleans head-on in Ala Mhigo, the Scions of the Seventh Dawn follow Alphinaud's suggestion to foment revolution in Doma to divide the Imperials' forces. Hien joins forces with the player character and the Scions to liberate his homeland.
