Garlemald is a fictional nation in the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV. It is known for its advanced technology and militaristic society, often depicted as a powerful empire that seeks to expand its influence across the world of Eorzea. The nation is characterized by its cold climate and industrial landscape, reflecting its focus on machinery and warfare. The people of Garlemald are primarily Garleans, who possess unique traits due to their use of magitek technology. This technology allows them to harness and manipulate aether, giving them an edge in combat. The empire's history is marked by conflict, particularly with the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, who oppose its expansionist ambitions.
