Solution 9 - Unfounded Speculation!

[kaynide]

Wellll, if we want to speculate on whether S9 is even around or not, some details "that are probably true" if we take what we've learned at face value:

1) Tural had been in a state of constant war up until ~80 years ago.
2) The capital city of Tuliyollal was founded by the current Dawnservant Gulool Ja Ja, who unified the varied "disparate" peoples.
3) We don't know if Tuliyollal was founded on older ruins that predate the current city-state.
4) One of the four claimants to the throne (who remains unnamed), sees the fall of the Garlean Empire as a reason to invade/conquer Eorzea/Othard/whatever.

Which raises questions...

If S9 exists and is known,
1) why isn't IT the dominant nation on the continent, or the seat of power if incorporated into the wider Turali people?
2) why would the "Evil" claimant wanted conquest, why choose to sail across the seas and do arguably a much more complicated conquest/expansion INSTEAD of just marching north?
3) and on that, why move their armies away so they couldn't defend against potentially aggressive actions from S9?

So...
A) it's pacifist/isolationist aka Sharlayan 2: Electric Bugaboo
B) it is "unknown" to the general population
C) something is wrong (cursed/frozen in time/dimensional rift/shifted in some weird way)
D) Exdeath? Exdeath.
