I would much rather let someone else play them than turn them AI; we all know how the AI is - dumb, and worse, likely to just attack Pangaea or Abysia, a decision that nobody in their right minds would take.

Any decision on the matter will be up to Abysia/Pangaea however. If they would rather put someone else in charge, there is also the issue of rerunning the turn: there were two major battles in Vanheim/Jotunheim, and those should be left to the new player. In this case, all players would not get to change their orders, of course, and the new player would have no access to the current outcome of the battles.
