So the story could contrive to have the Ivalice Resistance liberate Dalmasca Superior and install a new government in Rabanastre while Gabranth and his forces could hold onto Dalmasca Inferior and rule from Lea Monde (which is an important setting in Vagrant Story, another Ivalice Alliance game, but in that it was essentially a ghost city).

If they want to keep up with Vagrant Story and Ivalice conventions, they could have Gabranth and the IV Legion declare their territory as the new kingdom of Valendia, which in the original Ivalice lore was the kingdom that contained both Valnain and Lea Monde.
I'm hoping this happens, and Gabranth showing up again in the future, as either a friend or an enemy. Perhaps willing to ask for our help to deal with a problem where he is, one that we don't realize at the time is essential to his country gaining a "super weapon" to keep the other countries off them.
