Gazef's sacrifice might lead to nobles join the king's side. I'm not sure, but I believe 5 out of 6 Great Nobles died in that battle, except Raeven, so the royal faction should be even better off now, despite the royal faction thinking otherwise, because of their military force lost and E-Rantel.

Edit: Yeah, I basically wrote something straight outta vol. 9. :P
