This would generally net you (and your sons) full citizenship, voting rights, pension, and legal protection under the law. I imagine that's why we so so many foreigners in the Garlean army, they want in on all that magitech prosperity, and are likely being rewarded with eventual citizenship. If the warrior of light doesn't kill them first.This is touched upon in the notes of the Library and collected in the Garlean titles thread.

*Many Garleans view this as an opportunity rather than a condemnation, as citizenship may be granted to those who have demonstrated exceptional skills, as well as those who have contributed twenty or more years of military service.
