they never promised a Garlemald expansion. Yoshi-P has always been very careful about making promises that aren't set in stone. What you're referring to is from several years ago when they planned Garlemald to be the BBEG of the storyarc, but as the story unfolded, that idea changed and they were moved to secondary antagonist as the Ascians and the Final Days took center stage.

You're completely valid in your opinions. If you feel like Garlemald was squandered, that's perfectly fine, but it's important to make sure we aren't accidentally making false claims.
