I echo the desire for Lyse to have a major wake up call. I hold the firm belief that Gyr Abania was liberated far too easily. They did a better job with Doma, I feel, since even if no major characters perished there you still spent a significant amount of time gathering allies. Hien proved to be a very intelligent, bold and charismatic leader figure too...and his plan to sacrifice Doma Castle was a pretty sound one.
By contrast, most of Gyr Abania's liberation happened off screen and revolved around the Garleans in the area working against Garlemald's interests, being completely incompetent or just having convenient reasons to be overrun.
Sure, Meffrid and Conrad died but they seemingly only died for the sake of clearing the way for Lyse to be handed leadership of the Resistance for reasons I cannot comprehend. I'm surprised they didn't kill off M'naago and Arenvald as well...though it's possible that they were never real contenders for Conrad's position due to the circumstances of their births.
