Meracydia/Miqo'te/Azys La speculations (spoilers)

[treuhavik]

I find it more likely that Mhach just copied Allagan architecture, the same way Garlemald copies Allagan munitions.

This is certainly a possibility. But why? If all of Allag's technology was contained in Azys Lla, what made the Allagans so great in the eyes of Mhach that they needed 'become' the next Allag?

The only way this makes sense is if the Mhachi people found the Allagan ruins of Carteneau and were so super impressed with what they found there, they copied the architectural design, adopted Azeyma as their patron deity, and decided to force their use throughout the entire nation of Mhach.
