I managed to murderize my Widow MC and Ria by romancing Zarad and asking Ria to stay with my MC as her maid on my very 1st play through. We sailed back to Revaire. I knew trouble was brewing, but figured MC would be gone before any revolt. She aced peace for every other area. But, nope. Civil war and a dead MC. Bad, bad ending. Never mentioned Ria, but since she was with MC...?
I do think it odd that Zarad knowing what we know couldn't manage a rescue either on his own or by enlisting Hamin for the job. Sad to miss out on all those NG+ buffs, but oh, well. Did better my 2nd time around.
Is there any way for the Widow MC to make it out of Revaire if war breaks out?
