Have they not? Isn't there the impending threat of a civilization who very rapidly developed new technologies and is even advanced enough to utilize Allagan technologies? I'm not saying the Garleans could only do it with the help of the Ascians, but I am saying their rapid rise to prominence from a very small nation is suspicious, especially when their rise threatens the beast tribes, which causes them to summon their Primals, the Ascians' goal.
