I've had to deal with this once before, when the Rogue's guild popped up and drastically changed the state of Limsa Lominsian justice. I had to quickly retcon the story of how she acquired the scar on her cheek and the fifteen "stripes" on her back, because according to the new lore she would have actually been executed not publicly whipped.
Fortunately she has always been tight-lipped about the incident. So changing the location didn't actually effect anyone but myself. I simply adjusted the crime and had the punishment take place at sea rather than in the city.Â
I think that I will probably use the same approach if something else shows up in the future; focus on adjusting the details to fit the new lore, while keeping the spirit of Klyn's story. Her recent history is well grounded in the established lore but there are several things that could force me to retcon her backstory, prior to arriving in Ul'dah.
1) If we learned that Doma had been completely isolated before garlean occupation and had no naval trade with Eorzea. This would cause issues with the origin of her adopted brother and force me to adjust the doman tastes and mannerisms that she has picked up from her previous visits.
2) If it was specifically stated that the only survivors from The Company of Hero's clash with Leviathan, were the five individuals from the MSQ. This wouldn't effect her individually but it would impact her family history and her timeline might shift around.
3) If it was stated that Lominsian ships don't take an armoror out to sea. Her family trade would probably change to carpenter or whatever craft was typically used for naval repairs.
