The Binding of Triad

[Morningstar1337]

It's going to be hilarious if Azyz Lla ends up crashing into Ala Mhigo or Ishgard as a result of the Triad being defeated and the 'batteries' keeping the place afloat vanishing with them.

Now THAT will be an interesting way to start the Expansion, Crash the Zone into Ala Mhigo, utterly destroying the place an pissing off the entire population, the survivors upon seeing the WoL do this immediacy demand sucession from Eorzea while Garlemald decides to sever Gyr Albana from the continent.

And then Illbred comes along and has even more of a hard time because the Crash will cause them to shun any possibility of wanting to be independent from Garlemald, who will also decide to march directly into Ul'Dah, Limsa, Gridania and Ishgard, supplemented by now Willing Ala Mhigans (Since they are already Genocidal when it comes to "eikon"-summoning species). The conflict shall be dubbed: The Winter War

4.0 will then be not about liberating Ala Mhigo, but instead preventing Garlemald from destroying Eorzea once more. With the WoL an the Scions graing a bad reputation in Ala Mhigo becuase they are now seen as a Destroyer of their Way of Life, and because Garlian control prevents al the details from getting through to them unless its twisted into propaganda. They may even paint the WoL as an Eikon themselves (or even an incarnation of Rhagr, just so that the Garleans can kill off any semblance of religion an use it to further control the citystate, or the 2nd coming of the King of Ruin), With their only allies being people within Garlemald and Ala Mhigo that are against the mass culling of Eorzea's Spoken races, as the Alliance and the Ironworks will be distracted by invaders from Garlemald, as well as fending off separate assassination attempts on the GC leaders, Ameryc, Cid, Lucea and maybe Nero (with the latter 3 for betrayal).

Alas, this seems unlikely unless the Devs decide to change the background to represent it being part of Gyr Albana for those that are past 3.5.
