There’s the fact that Carles, who is most likely a low-level Hallasurq spy only joins you again if your helot mc who saves him leans heavily towards being a Shayardene homelander, which seems to fit with Hallassur’s strategic objectives which would seem to be to puppet or annex Erezza and Nyral after the fall of the Hegemony, while making sure Shayard does not industrialize and remains mostly pastoral and backwards.
Furthermore on Mara’s playthrough (if you let the Harrowing proceed) you’ll be “freed” from the Keriatou dungeons by a noble Laconnier supporter and you will in addition receive some magical spears supplied to you (and presumably the Laconniers have much more) that are designed to kill plektoi and theurges, courtesy of Hallassur.
