No Garleans on the first?

[Nightsword]

Spoiler /10char

The pure-blooded Garlean people existed before the Empire and go all the way back to at least Goug, which was where they lived before moving to Ilsabard. Just because the Empire was created by the Ascians doesn’t necessarily mean the people were too.

We have one example of ancient Goug "human" that appears in the game.

Mustadio in his "human" form, doesn't have the 3rd eye. So that had to have come about after Ultima was sealed away.
