So a specific part of Dragonsong caught my interest being the part where the Trailer shows that the WoL will be meeting the Emperor in the new 3.0 area directly. Everything else I already guessed and expect would happen.

Anyone want to guess why the new leader of a major antagonist empire would go to this length and meet the WoL directly?

Also before anyone else can I've already considered this...


or that some issues in Garlean Empire has forced him to take this action

or SE is pulling the "new Leader of a long Antagonist turns out to be a Protagonist and tried to change the Garlean Empire but failed and now on the run by a new Antagonist that want to keep the old Garlean Empire World Domination idea" Plot.
