Gives you a reason to have Dragoons anywhere, at any city state, with the same goal minus the geographical hobbling. Ishgard's closed but the the lore doesn't suggest Dragoons are a new thing, and probably ancient enough for the lore to have spread out from Ishgard. Just...most other nations don't need a 24/7 dragon murdering army all the time. Just....some dragon murdering dudes who also happen to be good at stabbing the shit out of heavy armor and friends. The Dragoon role in other citystates have have secondary focuses, like taking down large war-beasts, serpents, wyverns, behemoths, similar things...primals....all giant murder beasts that eat people by different names.
A dragoon by any other name.
Is this theory or actually stated in-game? I missed it, if so.
Also I tried like four times to make this sentence sound less dickish. I'm legitimately curious!
