Both the insurrection and the rat plague crisis can show the Empire isn't as strong as it should, something I think Burrows was nodding to in his personal notes. At this point, if one of the three other Isles were to be plagued by corruption and/or a natural disaster (like the bloodflies), why would they keep together with the Empire if that doesn't help them? Also that theory you found could be right on another point. If Serkonos were to walk off the Empire, then the other Isles will follow. In other words, if Emily can't regain the thrown after clearing her name, the Empire will cease to exist (that would make a great high chaos ending).
