Both of Yhilini's neighbors will have the men and resources to take advantage is they so choose, but will it be an overt invasion or a diplomatic battle? Pity the poor Yhilini ambassador to Ardoheim, though. How must it feel to have helped defeat the advanced alliance agreement and then almost immediately get invaded? I don't think much foreign aid will come to Yhilin after that, provided they can convince everyone it's really a second King and not some gambit by IK. Ginasta's words at the summit may have unwittingly helped in that. That or perhaps Iris has been smuggling supplies and goods needed to keep the land from collapsing. Based on in game references like the scene in Megail's path and others, as well as the new map, most of the AoA's land is barren wasteland which would make it hard to support the standing army/mob/horde the dingus is rumored to have. That would fit with her 'trying to make things work for the realm' mentality we see in Yarra's path.

Yeah, guy is probably going to need a confrontation scene where he gets everything laid out to him, he's pretty damn integral to the realm and their relations with the others, as getting a new ambassador would severely weaken Yhilin's standing due to making the new person having to start from square 1.
