I'd say stick to the main story but anytime the mc gives out a quest (like conquering the step stones) you could write an interlude with the most interesting pov. for instance if the mc ordered the creation of a post service you could have an interlude with the pov of a post carrier. otherwise I personally like reaction interludes, what I Don't like is using interludes for pure foreshadowing (ie some enemy plotting) I much prefer getting surprised together with the mc.
