Is anyone else dying to get to Garlemald?

Ah, right. I don't have the lore book, so my ability to reference it is very minimal. Either way now that my memory's been yogged, yeah, Castrum Centri is the renamed Castrum Novum.

More to the point... there's a lot of missing information, enough so that a proper timeline can't be constructed. It is known that Castrum Centri is the renamed Castrum Novum, there are Phantom Train Depots in Castrums Centri and Meridianum, and that the XIVth went rogue sometime before 2.0. Without knowing if the Phantom Train connects any Castra but Centri and Meridianum, when the Castra were finished, and whether the XIVth went rogue before their construction was completed, it's impossible to say whether or not the XIVth had Imperial support building them. I've been told the Imperials are quite good at building quickly, and seeing as the Eorzeans were preoccupied putting their lives back together I'd believe the XIVth was able to build the Castra scattered throughout Eorzea on its own.

It's... kind of a moot point, though. The XIVth's stragglers are still marked for death in Garlemald, so there's no going home for them; likewise the Eorzeans don't want anything to do with them and they have not made any outreach to us thus far. My personal wager is that the Eorzeans are just leaving them alone out of pity, so long as they do not cause trouble.

Considering Gaius went rogue, Regula's own men tried to betray him, and both Nael and Zenos severely mistreated their troops... yeah, I think it's fair to say there's systemic dysfunction in the Imperial military, or at least what we've seen of it. Still, casualties aren't a huge concern to them since a lot of the rank and file are conscripted "savages," and seeing as no legatus has been reprimanded for their misconduct (excepting Regula who was professional throughout) it seems the Emperor is fine with how the army functions.
