MSQ /The parley/Varis

Honestly I agree that Limsa was not founded peacefully thus this argument was truly bad for the admiral to use. But the one against Ishgard? Why did nobody point out that Nidhogg was not some common enemy but a really old elder dragon hellbend on revenge? He attacked Ishgard for thousands of years and did not destroy them simply because he wanted them to suffer. Yet we still tried our best to stop any bloodshet and we still tried for peace even with him around. Heck we had to dispose both leaders to make way for peace thus its not just that we take out one side to have some kind of freedom. Yet even through all the hate (as Aymeric pointed out) they were still able to create peace because both sides wanted it.

I also find the argument of: "How long will peace last" bad. In this case why not just temper everyone like Thordan wanted because as long as people have their free will there will be conflict. Also interesting how he had no true argument against the torment that Doma and Ala Mhigo went through under Garlemald rule. (And sorry if you have never conquered them, then none of your soldiers would have died either)

In the end it would not surprise me if this was not Varis himself but also if he was himself. Lets not forget that it was him alone (before he learned of Solus in SB) that already wanted to kill of all the beast tribes to stop primals thus he was for genocide when it was necessary. He worked with Eldibius before the reveal and only wondered once what will happen to humanity if all goes back to how it once was. He also gave free reign towards his son whom he should have known to be horrible. So he was never bellow killing those that he wanted to be killed thus him sacrificing all the shards and who knows how many people is not out of character. His emotes were a bit strange but then I remember Asahi and how he seemed to be calm too.

In the end we know from another story line that children in Garlemald are raised with the belief that they are the best race. Thus it was not surprising that the end goal was a world completely under the reign of Garlemald. So for me most of his behaviour was quite true to the things he showed in the past. I was just surprised how easily he showed them thus why I would not find it unbelievable that he is not Varis. But at the same time he had no problem talking about the plan of the Ascian so maybe those guards are completely loyal to him and this was really just his personal view on those things. I mean he would not be the first character in the game that believes to outplay Ascians.

Just a quick question. Why do they have a church in Garlemald if they are not allowed to believe in gods? Is this a church of the emporer?
