The Bugman family were in Limsa Lominsa at the time of the invasion, delivering their stock in person to the Admiral of the city at the time. About two days after they landed, they received news that Ala Mhigo was under attack, and that Bugman's brewery was raided when the Garlean forces sacked the lands around the city-state.
It was that day that Josef's family first saw the man truly angry - the brewery had been his grandfathers life's work, and he had intended to give the business away to his eldest when he felt he was too old to manage he business. But that was not to be. Since then, Lily has borne two more children, a pair of female twins, but much of Raul's life has since been dedicated to training his body and mind to fight the Garlean invaders, and to reclaim the land that was once his birthright.
