What if our character died?

[Morningstar1337]

The Garleans would love to restore the Allagan Empire, Crystal Tower included. That alone should tell you it's a terrible idea. When have the Garleans ever had a GOOD idea?

I should point out two factors:

The first is the rampant Luddism that sprang up after Allag's fall. Causing everyone to go on a technology destroying rampage and much history to be lost (the Abundance of Tomestones are of debatable canoncity), and as I mentioned before those that do not know History are doomed to repeat it. All Garlemald might "know" is that Allag was a technocratic utopia and they they also were able to fell primals without the need for Warriors of Light.

Meanwhile consider who on Eorzea led the expedition and restoration of the Tower, the Sons of Saint Coinach, a group as Sharayan scholars who mad The Third Astral Era (Allag) their focus of study. And thought that we know that Xande made a covenant with a very powerful Voidsent.

At the same time out trip though Azys Lla has given us a more in depth look at just how complacent Allag was prior to their fall.

On a final note the reason why anyone would want to Study Allag in the first place, compare their technology to that of Eorzea. For an empire of the distant past they sure seem far more technologically advanced. Garlemald might had been the first to try to use their tech to advance its own, but I think other people want to attempt that as well (As explained by Rowena's business. There are few reasons why anyone would want what are USB drives that they can't read, but we don;t know if they can read it. Chances are Garlemald, the Ironworks, The Sons and Whoever can get the other two parties to decipher their data are Rowena's likely patrons on that front).
