Is anyone else dying to get to Garlemald?

[YianKutku]

Speaking of, I'm actually really interested in what garlemalds neighbors were like before they got annexed, didn't the lorebook state ilsabard as a harsh continent filled with various warlords and such before the garleans dominated the others?

Northern Ilsabard is a harsh place filled with warlords and raider bands. The Garleans originally came from southern Ilsabard, which is temperate and apparently not a bad place to live. Still, seeing as they got driven to northern Ilsabard in the first place, things were obviously not perfect.

Yes the garleans have little right to do what they do from a moral ground, but if we're talking purely on logic then yes they actually do because say they were living on the same continent as the xeala tribes, ala mhigo or even Doma. If they encountered the garleans before they gained any advantage they would probably have taken advantage of the situation and conquered them instead.

But they're not on the same continent. Ala Mhigo is on Aldenard, and Doma and the Xaela tribes are on Othard. Asking about the hypothetical where all of these are on the same continent is irrelevant, because they're not, and Garlemald conquered them anyway.

The only other known nation in Hydaelyn's history which spanned multiple continents were the Allagans, who were generally not moral paragons either. Even the War of the Magi restricted itself to Eorzea.
