I hope Whiltey plays a big part in volume 6 since they have to go to Atlas with the relic, preferably as some sort of antagonist.

I wonder how the Atlas story will go in general though, because knowing Ironwood the moment they bring the Relic to Atlas I have the feeling he's going to say that it's safest with the Atlesian military (he may be right). If what Illia said is true Adam might lose part of the White Fang (I doubt the Vale branch would kick him out though since they are his core supporters, but maybe the Atlesian branch would no longer want to follow him). That could force Salem to employ other factions to get the necesarry amount of manpower and resources for future operations.

The SDC could be a potential candidate for that position since Ironwood's blockade is a severe threat to the SDC. The SDC can't supply other kingdoms anymore, which could cause their concurrents to secure market shares in the other three kingdoms. I think a chance to end the Dust embargo might be enough to entice Jacques to throw in his lot with Salem or Adam as a proxy after a year or so of Dust embargo.
