Either way, Gyr Abania was not the first place outside of Ilsabard that Garlemald conquered. That "honor" goes to Dalmasca, which was "easily" taken with the Imperial airship fleet, as I recall. Next went Doma, and then Ala Mhigo... I think.
Yep you are right. So as Apoptomon said it's the territorial Anthem for THAT specific territory. Makes you wonder how many anthems the Garlean Empire has.
