Aymeric would have never spoken to the higher ups to get them to relax their stance if you didn't stop Lady Iceheart from wrecking the place as Shiva. They wouldn't be in such dire straits if she didn't bring down the barrier around Ishgard and allowed for the Nidhogg's horde to break through. The Ascians would have never turned to influencing her or Ishgard if you don't foil their plan involving the Garleans.
