Tales from the Dawn #4: "A Question of Death" (Jullus)

[KariTheFox]

The quote "we fought tooth and nail for resources" sure is doing a lot of heavy lifting for the idea that Garleans were under constant, unrelenting attack for centuries to be extrapolated out of it.

The fact is that we simply do not have a detailed accounting of the Garlean Republic's military history, we know they were involved some kind of conflicts that Solus was able to skew in thr Garlean's favor through magitek, but that's about it.

There's side quests in Garlemald itself that also touch on the subject. Quintus remarks on it during the MSQ's. As does their entry in the lore book. It's not coming out of nowhere, nor is it 'heavy lifting'.

The phrase 'tooth and nail' is also commonly used to describe bitter, desperate struggles that are persistent and hard fought.
