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.
Remember Fandaniel's rant that he wants to recreate the Final Days. Primalss running amok was among many things that happened so I assumed it is one of the reasons. Still, the latest attack makes me wonder, considering Zenos' dissatifying comments about losing Lunar Bahamut and thus losing Meracydia's support (way to erase Meracydia from possible place we visit!).
