|| so I don't know how many of you know this, but it's canon the leader of Limsa lominsa is chosen every few years via a battle at sea.

Now we all know I love having Aelred lead limsa, and I've always had it canon that he does in some capacity, just the means of it weren't +
Really there.

But this? Easily gives me the means to make it lore friendly.

Rather simple really, Aelred just wins the whole damn thing.

I like to imagine he almost hesitates at the start, but since I think the whole thing goes down shortly after the end of stormblood, he's still got Lyse by his side at the time, thus serving as the encouragement to go ahead as I dare say he'd have her there the whole time +
So in theory in the immediate aftermath you've got a replacement admiral who's only there because of the efforts of the leader of ala mhigo.

Hey, at least "relations" between them would be good.
