Minfillia Speculation

[Nalien]

Hydaelyn, on the other hand, comes bundled with an entire code of conduct that happens to include the suppression of false gods to ensure her continued existence. That's religion, not existence itself.

That's the Scions code of conduct, not Hydaelyns... Granted, the Scions believe they're working for Hydaelyns will, but in reality they've been bumbling around in the dark since their inception. The Scions believe that Primal summoning is harmful to Hydaelyn, but there has never been a decree from the heavens telling us to go out and put Primals down. That's on us, and I wouldn't be surprised, given that Elidibus and his Warriors of Darkness are now doing the same thing, if Minfilia comes back and tells us we've been doing it wrong. Given what we've seen with Leviathan and Thordan, Primals seem like a literal deus ex machina for dealing with the Ascian threat... I really can't help but wonder if there is something more there... Are the current Primals bad? Sure, but who has been summoning them, or better yet, who taught those people how to summon them?

If I was an Ascian, and I knew Primals could stop me, I'd set the board up so that people forget what Primals are for and fight them for me. I'd set it up so everyone loses their way and fights each other, rather than working together against a common threat. Likewise, if absolutely nothing happens to the Ascians from here on out, and in a thousand years they're still kicking about, as an Ascian I'd probably make sure people don't ever find White Auracite again, I'd spread the myth that it gives Super-Cancer or something, to ensure people never mine it to trap Ascians again...
