General Ignias/Kalant Musings:

Note that Ignias doesn't need to be Prince Consort in order to have an effective role in the government. His administrative talent would be just as effective as a member of the Council.

Kalant might be a better choice if he acquires the respect of the military, and goes on to be an effective field commander. That skill set better complements the abilities of Tyna by giving her access to things that she can't do for herself, and which Ignias can't do for her at present. Bringing him to prominence also potentially weakens the church, or at least that portion of the church that is heavily involved with the Chosen.

Kalant's military experience and war background also makes him a viable alternative to Bhakan, because the latter can't play up his military experience as opposed to Ignias' lack thereof. Let's not fool ourselves into imagining that the fight for consort is just between Ignias and Kalant, we have to remember the other suitors and their comparative positions.
