The Astrologians can tell if an attack is coming far before it does, as it is written in the stars.
Anyway, that's just a side note. The real point is that NO ONE IN EORZEA DOES THEIR DAMN JOB.
People are always all over the place, and never where the lore says they should be. Let's take the iconic sultansworn, for example. We see them chasing down royal jewels, looking for Nanamo's lost crown, or solving mysteries with Hildebrand and the gang. Of course no one is there to taste Nanamo's wine.
So yeah, Dragoons should be in Ishgard, but so should the temple knights. The stone torches should be in copperbell mines. The Brass Blades shouldn't be in costa del sol. Etc etc.
No one does their job and is where they are supposed to be in this game. Why should RPers be any difference.
There's reasons for the Sworn being out and about: They're effectively defenders of the crown and the person wearing it. Crown jewels get stolen? They're supposed to reclaim them. The Hildebrand storyline has to do with state secrets and a looming threat being taken care of after things are stolen from royal vaults.
The Stone Torches are at the mines - keeping everyone else out until adventurers answer the call to go in and reclaim them.
Quote: #33 Paintedmesa The Stone Torches're keepin' watch over the entrance in case the giants fancy some sunlight and fresh air. One of 'em will be able to show you the way in. The hope of the nation's restin' on you, friend. Best of luck!
I honestly don't know wtf is going on with Blades in Costa. Was that a quest or are they just... there?
Bat Signal or not, you can't see it from the desert, or an island away. And our lore on teleports are sort of stringent at best - Lore dictates that not everyone can use them. We can probably safely guess that dragoons have the aether required to use them, but ICly teleporting is still hard to rationalize. It likely requires actually being at an aetheryte. It still seems strange.
