A legion theoretically has 10 cohorts. We're missing a few. Perhaps they were left to guard Ala Mhigo.

01 Praetorium
02 Castrum Occidens
03 Castrum Oriens
04 Cape Westwind (and thus Castrum Marinum?)
05 Castrum Centri
06 Seen bringing captured spyhunter to Castrum Centri
07 Seen guarding Tribuni in 3 Thanalan locations
08 Castrum Meridianum
09 UNSEEN
10 UNSEEN

The 6th might be at Centri with the 5th, either due to the "central" castrum being the largest or because they were brought in from the abandoned Castrum Aquilonis. The 7th looks like a mobilized guard, but isn't necessarily.

Perhaps 9 and 10 were left behind? We've never seen one 'o dems.

I recently went on a Shroud exploration with a friend looking into this very wall. It looks way too high and way too long to just be Oriens, doesn't it? You can see bits and pieces of Oriens and it looks basically the same size as the other castrums, but that wall is gargantuan in comparison. Could it be the "Great Wall of Garlemald" between Eorzea and the Ala Mhigan Territory of the Garlean Empire?

We have to remember that, with Ala Mhigo under Garlean control, it is an extension of the Empire itself. Given that Ala Mhigan territory butts-up against Ilsabard, it makes sense that they would wall off the territory. As off 1557, Ala Mhigo marks the western-most extend of the Empire proper. If we enter Ala Mhigo, we will be entering Garlemald.

Quite right, that's why I use the specific name of the Imperial province. As an Eorzean, I'd usually call it Gyr Abania.

The Garlean Empire renames the conquered city-state and the surrounding lands of Gyr Abania to the Ala Mhigan Territory.

It appears Castrum Oriens is in front of the wall
