1) Another Gathering is most likely due to serious shift in balance of power among IK's

2) I don't think that is an issue... Ginasta is not stupid and she realized that if she revealed true nature of the shards to Arclent rullers all they'd do is try to get that power for themselves. And as much as she might hate the idea, she'll most likely realize that Simon getting the shard is probably her best option, if that even became an issue. For all we know the act of killing IK might be enough for Simon to absorb his shard...

3) Yeah, other Arclent nations would love to take a piece of IKD but it remain to be seen if they'll be able to. At the moment, both Aram and Ardoheim suffered quite a lot of Collateral Damage and let's not forget that both of those nations currently have rather significant amount of DK's armies stationed there. With all of IK armies more then likely switching sides (never, ever piss off someone who's running your empire!) other Arclent nations may not be in possition to demand anything from DK... at least for time being.

4 or 3b) Another thing to consider is that what Simon is planning with Iris is basically coup d'etat where he's going to replace the "unpopular" ruller. By gaining control of IKD that way it would be hard to sell to Iris and others restoration of pre-invasion nations. For all intent and purpose, IKD is their homeland, a place where they were born.

5) I'd say it's time for new Skills and not just for Simon... if you don't count synergy skills, last time Robin got new skill, she just reached lvl-21 (she's now in mid 40's!), most others haven't got anything new since low 30's if not high 20's...
