What do you think the capital city of Garlemald would look like?

[LineageRazor]

I really do like the ideas you presented....tho Eden from XIII is a bit too futuristic and personally I would imagine Eden's structure to be applied to an Allagan city rather than a Garlean one.

Why not both? The Garleans deeply revere the Allagans and strive to emulate them. Their tallest tower could be designed to be as close to Allagan as they could manage. Or, in fact, it might be an ACTUAL Allagan tower, transported from wherever it was dug up and refurbished.

And, being a fan of the Eden summon, Ascian shenanigans could wind up turning the tower into this game's representation of the Eden summon - though, perhaps, that would run the risk of treading old ground we trod with Alexander. And, also, the old shtick of Allagans tricking folks into summoning.
