From Minoo, PLAYER of KHALDUN, edited by Obi, DM:

Given the crucial decision at hand is based on the words of the Void Mage, Khaldun is in a precarious place as far as how and what decisions are to be made… His deepest desire is to rid the timeline of this pox… The Void Mage asserts that things will be worse if she is destroyed, i.e. we won’t have a future to go back to… I guess this hinges on (1) multiversal principles and (2) whether the Void Mage is telling the truth at all. Secondarily, Khaldun is considering another option: which is defeating Hythonia by rendering her unconscious, pulling her from the Ptah Akton and coming to the aid of Boorengi against the Gold Skull… After that, there are two other goals: find and release the Opal Dragon and steal the Spelljammer ships along with the armies on-board.

At this point, I have to raise another concern about whether any of those goals, once succeeded, might have equally huge impacts on the future. Are we head to our future’s destruction? Khaldun maybe is a bad arbiter of the fate of the future. He is effectively someone that previously sacrificed himself to a higher purpose for the strange cult of artifact technology under Ptah. He might sacrifice himself again. Furthermore, if by his actions, Khaldun believes that the tomb worlds will be… less abandoned, so to say in the future, that would be a great outcome!

Khaldun wishes to curtail Githyanki success. He believes that by killing Alamon, who was helping the Githyanki against the Giff home world, a good victory was scored for the future of Argead Space. So this is all to say that NOT killing Hythonia is going to take something concrete for Khaldun to stay his hand.
