Garlean Outposts (Spoilers)

[RyuDragnier]

By the devs own admission, they're stuck in a "time bubble" in a sense. They're all exactly where they were we finished the zones. Meaning the Castrum in Mor Dhona is still occupied by Garlean troops ready to attack us, in terms of a zone sense. But in actual lore sense, as told by the RPR story, they've been engaging in trade (in a sense) with Ul'dah. They sell Ceruleum to Ul'dah for profit, and then buy things from elsewhere (likely Mor Dhona or the Garland Ironworks). Because while Ul'dah has rules to not sell to Garleans...there's nothing about BUYING from Garleans.

Something tells me those rules, which were last brought up in ARR (from which many, many plot points and arcs have been thus abandoned) are no longer in effect. Garlemald as a nation is defunct, if not it's people.

I don't think the guys stuck in that castrum know. Also the rules weren't just last brought up in ARR, they were literally brought up in the Reaper job questline THIS expansion.

So... going off of headcanon and theory:
- Terncliff Garleans are still around because we kicked Valens's butt but haven't fully cleaned them out of the premiss.
- The 4th Legion remnants still roam around Bozja's wastelands and ruins, having also infiltrated Dalmascan society waiting to pounce back to action and claim the regions again
- The guys on Azys Lla's Castrum Solus are still there because "Ooh, we can use this information to make stuff of our own!"
- I got nothing for Castrum Occidens nor Cape Westwind.
- Fluminis should be deserted by now, but I think there still are some Garleans in the vicinity.
- And I assume the guys at Castrum Centri joined the guys in Castrum Meridianum in the trade with Ul'dah.
