(Doesn't make sense to me to invade a country already at war, since the armies there will have taken all the forage supplies already). Though they might be one of the parties causing instability in Yhilin.

Fair point, I was more thinking, "huh, those guy just wore themselves out invading the Yhilin...GET THEM!", not only conquering new territory, but nipping a new IK in the bud. This would also secure their logistics so that they could have a more secure launching point for their invasion of Ardoheim. Of course, your idea is plausible too, especially with Janine's weak seeming face on the international stage. But I think there's also a chance that they'd pull your scenario with Simon's Doomed King, thinking he's no threat, and thus opening up Simon's chance to take care of 2 problems for the price of one.

''But I think the big showdown coming up is going to be with the Desecrationist faction. We've gotten a lot of hints up to this point that they're one of the major players in destabilizing Yhilin, and Sarai herself even said there were zealots in the church who wanted to make Yhilin a theocracy. It wouldn't surprise me too much if Hester turned out to be simply acting even-keeled and was actually plotting something. Sarai also mentions an unwoman leader named Vhala. I'm guessing we'll have to fight her.''

Oh yeah they'll be a factor I agree, with the inquisition priestess needing to get the "Carina" treatment real bad. As for Hester, I can see her just being tired and wanting to end it in some manner rather than leaving it to her sucessor to deal with. There are fewer people more dangerous than someone who feels they have nothing to lose and lots of power.

I can see them being behind a lot of the chaos in the region, convinced that their methods justify their means as seen by Carin and her boss lady.

Vhala is a potential ally or sign of how things are falling apart from what I got from Sarai.
