I since figured it out, but yes, of course the main character's town was destroyed so that he has a reason to leave it. Also he was framed for destroying it and banished for good measure so that he can't return when it's rebuilt. Uh oh! A major misunderstanding that allows for the plot to happen in the first place is about to be resolved! Someone better get amnesia quick so that the story can continue for several more hours! Alright that's it, I'm out of ideas for how to make the player care about this, better kill a beloved character out of nowhere in a cutscene just to piss them off so they'll give a shit about what's going on.
For real though, how does Google turn up nothing on this? I swear I've heard it before this thread, and it does make sense, I just didn't figure it out right away. Plot reasons, but said stupidly because the reasons are stupid so plot raisins.
