I feel like it's probably better for the realm to have a competent king/consort (Ignias) as well as a competent queen (Tyna). Will it make Tyna happy? 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.

Kalant's just a minor noble and decent fighter. The only way he's better in a throne-adjacent position is if his magical neutrality turns out to be a huge plus somehow.

For now I'm keeping Ignias and Kalant about even in position, pending further revelations. Not doing anything to hurt Ignias, at least.
