The impact on Giata's attitude is minimal, resulting in only slight variations in dialogue.
Having decided that attacking Aelfyr is advantageous, consider your next decision: Should you give Keipo the Leviathan Heart in the "Heart of Valor" side quest? This quest offers substantial additional loot. For a complete overview of your next steps, check out the full list of Avowed's main and side missions.
