I still operate under the idea that the Ascians are the Allaghans that did something that ripped there existance and world apart.

This is another of the possibilities on the list - to a degree. It would explain their point of view about Hydaelyn and the original state of the world. But, if this were the case, why do they worship the dark half as the One True God? The only glimpse of Zodiark we've seen is a crystal just like Hydaelyn but dark - or so some of us have assumed thus far.
