Excerpt from 4-F-3 Lehran's Memory
In which Dheginsea makes some pretty good points in the Japanese.
Video of the Japanese.
This is far from the whole thing, but this part caught my eye. He sounds more reasonable to me.

| Lehran | Of course not. Yet...there are laguz who are treated as less than livestock. I cannot believe that this is what the goddess wants. | もし女神がお目覚めになり、 この世界をご覧になったら どう思われるでしょう？ ラグズが家畜のように ベオクに支配されるこの世界を…… | If the Goddess were to wake, if she were to look upon this world, what would she think? The laguz, as if livestock, lie under beorc command. If she saw this world... |
| Dheginsea | Goldoa will not move. This decree stands from the time our nations were formed. The goddess has not yet slept one hundred and fifty years. Would you see the laguz and beorc destroyed? Would you see all of Tellius awash in blood? No, unless destruction comes to seek us at our door, Goldoa will not move, for the sake of future generations. | ……私はすべてを見守るだけだ。 隷属とはいえ、ラグズは生きている。 ならばこれ以上戦いを 拡げることは避けねばならぬ。 女神が眠りにつかれて まだ１５０年にも満たぬ。 こうなる前は、ラグズがベオクに対し 優勢であった時代もあった。 残り８５０年……時が経てば、 また立場が揺らぎ移ろうこともあろう。 私は動かぬ。 最初に国を分けたときから決めていたこと。 ラグズとベオク、 一方が滅びを迎えるか…… 大陸を巻き込むような戦が起きるか…… そのような破滅の危機が訪れぬ限り、 ゴルドアが動くことはない。 | ... I merely watch over everything. Though it may be slavery, the laguz live. But the spreading of more war than our current state must be avoided. % Since the Goddess has fallen asleep 150 years have yet to pass. And before it came to this, there was also a time when the laguz dominated the beorc.% The remaining 850 years... if (and only if) time passes, then these positions may be shaken once more. I will not move. It is a thing decided since the nations first divided. Laguz and beorc, will one go out and meet ruin? ... Will a continent-engulfing war occur? As long as such a destructive crisis has not come, Goldoa will not move. |

a time when the laguz dominated the beorc.
:o?
do you know if the implication of "dominated" here is closer to "were stronger than" or "enslaved"? I can't recall anything in-game that ever referenced the laguz being dominant in the past—the implication seemed to be "zunanma, peace happiness, then laguz/beorc split, mainland tellius beorc dominate"

Superiority. And Nasir mentions it in PoR.
Nasir
Ike, you will never truly understand a matterunlessyou lookat itfrom each party's perspective.As you say, the laguz are indeed now persecuted bythe beorc. Butlongago, these roles were reversed.
(Ch 12, before battle.)
Oh, and I seem to recall someone somewhere saying the tide was turned when the beorc invented magic and good weaponry, but I'm not sure where that quote is, or if I'm overextrapolating from a different line.
