some thought born in the limbo between dream and reality: the next 'plot section' should open ardford (and southern ardoheim) to open travel. in the 'common embassy building' during the summit is presently an open 'office' in the right bottom position, I think that slot should be filled with the chalice states ambassador, vinario will be replaced with tak'kan and givini will became new givini. I'm convinced a couple of side mission will start here.

wild speculation: soul shards are only-male user, esthera is cheating that with some unknown magical knowledge, but the 'golden shards' are female only and their power is complementary to the IK's one. I suppose the 'trick' esthera using for her shard is an on-going process, if she stop to maintain it the shard will be rejected, but she can adsorb a golden shard and maintain power and immortality (a different set of powers, but still a lot of raw power). this can open the door for the empress to simon harem...
