My theory is Fandaniel and Zenos are trying to, or already have, use the biggest tower in the capital to summon the concept of Garlemald itself as a primal. A primal embodying the idea of Garlemald and what it stands for, explaining how people could become tempered by a nation. And then the beams coming from the smaller towers are broadcasting its tempering to other locations beyond its immediate vicinity.

I don't know how the Lunar Primals fit in, but that's what I think is going on in the imperial capital.
I really like that theory!
My two cents on this:

Perhaps summoning a Garlemald omnipotent primal would be the way Fandaniel could bring the end of the world, given how much aether this super-primal would consume to be brought to life, and then by sustaining its appearance.
I don't think there has been a great focus on the Lunar primals (or at least, not now that we have seen we can dispatch of them "easily"), for me they are more a way of causing damage and keeping us busy, while the greater scheme is unfolding all the way back in Garlemald
