It was a relief though that one couple stayed together and lived -- "Nagron." How was it decided that Nasir (Pana Hema-Taylor) and Agron (Dan Feuerriegel) would get the happy ending?
DeKnight: Nagron lives! There was a lot of debate about who should live at the end. Some people thought it should be Naevia because she was one of the characters who started at the very beginning. My feeling though was that Naevia without Crixus doesn't feel right. She should go. And it goes to that thing I wanted to do with that ray of hope — even in defeat, there's some sense of victory. I thought it was important to have a loving couple make it out of this. Besides Crixus and Naevia, the Agron-Nasir romance was the longest-running in the series. It just felt right to have those two make it out... after some close calls.
