I am sure Kaeir will be relieved, and concerned, at greater stability in Taltheran. It will complicate the position of its proxy army in Saltrim (well, partly a proxy - no one really controls Basiluddin). Though, given that the Merchant Houses in Kaeir will be demanding considerable political reform in Kaeir this year, many would be very happy to establish sound relations with the Taltheran Trade Council, given their mutual interest in profit.
