The Warring Triad:
Regula showing concern not only for his own men but sacrificing his life to protect the Scions' little friend was a touching and tragic moment. Him backing down and making destroying Zurvan his priority rather than securing Allagan technology for the sake of securing it is also very compelling. Not entirely unexpected either - I've long since speculated that there's much more to Garlemald than 'generic evil empire' no matter how much certain people believe it to be otherwise. Between the lore book confirming as such as the events of 3.5 I think we can safely suggest that once we tackle the 'rot' in Garlemald we may very well end up forging a direct alliance/peaceful relations.
Varis was explicitly stated to have defended Regula against those who spoke out against him. It'll be interesting to see how he reacts to his best friend being killed, especially given the circumstances of his demise. This also opens up the possibility that we may work with him directly in the future, especially if his son turns against him or does something very stupid that results in even Varis turning his back upon Zenos.
As for the revelations regarding the Void and such, that's pretty interesting too. Especially since it seems like our little firned may stick around for future plot points. Him having sworn loyalty to Elidibus may put us at odds in the future though...but I suspect eventually we'll see the Scions/Warrior of Light forced to accept that they need to embrace both Light and Darkness to maintain balance.
