If Keihas hadn't died, how do you think his relationship with Dierum/the rest of their lives would have played out?
If Keihas hadn’t died, he and Dierum would have ended up fleeing the city they lived in, most likely because Dieum finally snapped and killed someone with influence. IF that doesn’t happen (or if it does and way later down the line) their quadrant will implode on itself because neither one of them can compromise or make a concrete decision about what they are.
When Keihas wants to be pale, Dierum is red. When Dierum wants to be pale, Keihas is red. They might fight so much that it edges into pitch. It’s most likely a messy fallout and who KNOWS where Dierum goes afterwards. Idk, maybe The Warmaster murders her or something bc she sassed him, who freakin knows. Keihas would settle where Vittez and Vatrra now live and try to put his life back together
