The you could have the two rival Xerarch's of the north and south suddenly dealing with the fact that the "True" Xerarch had returned and wasn't picking either of them :p
This could be a fun idea. Probably exhausting, but definitely fun. I don't think Selenia still has the cred to really pull that off, though. The Pall of defeat hangs over her like a heavy shroud. Whether self-imposed or otherwise, once a leader's been exiled it's rare they can ever come back for any reason.
