Is anyone else dying to get to Garlemald?

We wouldn't be as technologically advanced without war, the most technologically advanced nations in history built that up out of necessity. Good or bad is irrelevant, it's just inevitable while people can have differing views on how the world should be run or who's god is the real one or when different lands have to compete for resources.

Wars should not be waged for the sole purpose of technological advancement. In Garlemald's case, they did not begin their large-scale and long-running campaign of conquest until after a technological breakthrough resulted in the magitek engine, which Solus zos Galvus quickly adapted for use in war.

While I agree that war is an inevitable part of life, it should be the absolute last course of action. Diplomacy should at least be tried before resorting to violence.
