Lolorito has gone to a lot of trouble to become top dog of the monetarists, Â I doubt he wants to bow the knee to anyone, Emperor's included.
Yes he technically is below the Sultana, but it's pretty clear he runs things.
So not actually that interested in stability, then. Definitely twirling his moustache.
I mean, yes...
That's like saying California isn't actually concerned about the drought, because they're still growing crops here.
Just because someone values something, doesn't mean they'll try to get it at any cost.
Plus, Garlemald is far less stable than Ul'dah. The new emperor had to fight a war of succession to gain power. The Empire itself was the creation of one man's lifes work, who knows if this new person can hold it together.
Ul'dah has been around for over 600 years, and its politics, while messy and chaotic, have managed to serve it well that entire time.
There is no evidence that the Empire is stable, at all, and if I was determining Ul'dahs fate, I'd be in no hurry to join it.
