Since the Chrysalis has been brought up, does anyone else find;

Insatiable hunger of the void!
Devour all light and return this world to perfect darkness!

A bit interesting? He seems to hold the Void in fairly high regard... I almost wonder if the Ascians are essentially Voidsent... I mean, they work the same as most; A large portion of Voidsent manifest themselves in Hydaelyn by possessing something, be that suits of armor or dead bodies... Heck, Ascians can certainly do the later... Our introduction to them also involved Voidsent, not to mention Haukke Manor was their doing... Servants of Zodiark seem to wield it well, in much the same way servants of Ifrit wield fire...

Now a question. What was going on before the various Calamities;

3AE: Xandes/Amon were planning to open a Voidgate large enough to allow the Cloud of Darkness to flood the world.
5AE: Mhach seemed to be winning the War of the Magi, Void mages...
6AE: Remember our little introduction to Atomos? We had a practical Void Invasion going on...

Granted, we're missing most of Eorzean history, but that almost makes me wonder if the Rejoining is merging Hydaelyn with the Void... With the Calamities actually being more of a final defense. Did the Ascians anticipate Louisoix going Primal on Bahamut? I kind of wonder what would have happened were he allowed to continue his rampage... Just drawing close to the planet was already corrupting aetherytes and unleashing Voidsent, his brief rampage created a lot of corrupt crystals, though I don't recall any Voidsent around them... If correct, would this technically change the Calamity? Bahamut wasn't the Calamity, in the same sense the War of the Magi wasn't the Calamity, it was just the cause.

That would, of course, make Louisoix the Calamity... An interesting thought though, what if the Calamity was in fact more to do with how he combated Bahamut; The ability for man to become Primal. Each Calamity changed the world somewhat, after all... That's a bit more substantial a change than creating an ice bridge I suppose, but it is after that event that Lahabrea has Ysayle and Thordan VII attempt the concept... We're missing large gaps in history of course, this could have happened plenty of times before, but didn't it seem new to the Ascians as well?
