Thavnair and Hingashi are neutral towards Garlemald already and it'd make sense for the provinces that prospered and improved under Garlean rule to not necessarily desire breaking away.
What’s sad is i could see them totally building up the long awaited Nerva as the antagonist for it…Since for some reason the antagonists always need to be ascians or garleans. I hope i’m wrong though and Nerva proves to be more of a Larsa-like figure from ff12 and helps unite the people.
