I'm actually surprised that Garlemald did not bother to make an outpost in the abandoned Sharlayan colony, especially since the building would have remained intact so it would be easier to settle in compared to their other bases in throughout. I guess the dragons proved to be too much of a risk to their airships?

On the subject of Varis ... I am not very impressed with him, in fact, I kinda wish they'd pull a Xande and have Solus resurrected using Amon's tech. Either way, I do hope Garlemald takes center stage as a legitimate threat, as it stands they seem more like an annoying obstacle compared to Hydaelyn vs Zodiark & Asciens.
