No, but it will make a lot of Ardans happy to have better leadership, and she can always see Kalant on the side. I like Tyna, but when I run the ethical calculus, it just doesn't come out right to weight Tyna's crush above the wellbeing of all Ardoheim. And let's not forget: it is only a crush at this stage. Sure, but is it better for us? Yeah, Tyna's arguably an ally, but Ardoheim overall is fairly hostile towards the Doom King at this point, and their having effective administrative leadership that could get the nation to pull in approximately the same direction is almost unambiguously bad for Simon and his allies even if that leadership is nominally friendly with him; once you've united the government; it can be lead in almost any direction. I'm therefore not at all sure that bringing Tyna and Ignias together is necessarily a good idea. Keep 'em fighting each other.
