Garlean Adventurers

[Enkidoh]

Cilia's right - additionally, foreigners specifically come to Eorzea just to become adventurers (read, the player's character), as the adventuring system is only an Eorzean institution and does not appear to exist anywhere else on Hydaelyn. This is all but confirmed when one of the Doman refugees stated that if Doma had had such a system in place it might have given them a sporting chance to drive back the Garlean invasion (which is the whole point adventuring was created as an occupation in Eorzea in the first place).

Either way, it's still likely Garlemald would have a secret network of sellswords and mercenaries (as they frequently make use of them in Eorzea), but the actual formalized Adventuring Guild seems to be very much only found in Eorzea.

The Garlean Empire is a highly militaristic society, it's doubtful they'll need a official Adventurer's Guild. They could just leave it to the Legions to handle most of their problems, as well as possible Auxiliaries. One of Gaius's officers was a former mercenary; instead of having a Guild, they just formally integrate exceptional fighters into the Legions. Despite the supposed authoritarian model that the Empire supposedly follows, the Legions apparently have a fair amount of leeway in organization and discretion.

I think part of the Empire's success isn't just with their Magitek, but also the adaptability of their Legionary structure; which would be necessary, given that they incorporate a fair diversity of races and ethnic groups into their military.
