No Garleans on the first?

Considering that Emet-Selch claimed to also be behind the Ronkan Empire...

Did he? I thought it was only Allag that he mentioned having past involvement in.

Did he? I thought it was only Allag that he mentioned having past involvement in.

I don't remember he specifically stating he had a hand in Ronka's founding, only that he boasted to the Warrior of Light and the Archons about being behind the formation of "Garlemald, Allag and a half dozen other nations with imperial ambitions besides" when he first made himself known to them in the scene in the Crystarium.

It's unclear if Ronka was his handiwork, as by all intents and purposes from what we know of it they were not malevolent like Allag and Garlemald are, although there is that mural recording the destruction of Amaurot and the Sundering within a Ronka structure (Qitana Ravel), which seems a little too convenient for my liking (despite Emet actually seeming surprised to find such a mural there).

But it does fit his MO either way.
