The term "Garlean" refers to a fictional empire in the popular MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV. Known for its advanced technology and militaristic society, the Garlean Empire seeks to expand its influence across the world of Eorzea. The empire is characterized by its use of magitek, a blend of magic and technology, which gives it a significant advantage in warfare. Garleans are often depicted as a race of humans with distinct features, such as their pale skin and pointed ears. They are ruled by a powerful hierarchy, with the Garlean Emperor at the top. The empire's aggressive expansion has led to conflicts with various factions, including the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, who oppose their oppressive regime.
