Another thing that's confusing: the hell are the Garleans doing here? We hear that they've enslaved the populations and we see them get shipped off to be served as not-slaves-but-we-all-know-what's-goin'-on-here, but why did they bother conquering these lands at all? Sure, megalomania and sure, actually having access to captive populations is a vital part of a supremacist civilization, but the empire builds these shockingly massive structures using materials from... where? Wouldn't it have been cooler to see scars where mountains were and giant, industrial pits? Shouldn't there be scars on the land, not just outposts for occupation but a reminder of the industrial consumption of the empire? There's all these fortifications to protect the soldiers, but what are the soldiers protecting? What do the Garleans get out of Doma and Ala Mhigo?
The purpose of the Empire, as decreed by Solus zos Galvus, is to save mankind from the threat of eikons by any means necessary. This includes, but is not limited to, the extermination of any resident beast tribes and local customs that could possibly lead to the religious fervor necessary for the spoken races to summon an eikon of their own.
