[3.4 Spoilers] Hydaelen And The Warriors Of Darkness

[Zohar_Lahar]

So, here's my problem with this plan: Hydaelen, who seems to suddenly be so concerned with The First, would have gladly allowed The Warriors of Darkness and their world be destroyed had Urianger not forced her to act. The Ascians, on the other hand, have explicitly stated that they strive for balance between Light and Dark. They've even gone so far as to mention that their master, who is most likely Zodiark, has called them to action to bring about this balance by any means necessary.

I need to correct you on something here. It is mostly Elidibus who cares about balance. The other three Ascians in edgelord black robes (Lahabrea, Nabriales, Igeyorhm) were pretty much all "DARKNESS DARKNESS DARKNESS DARKITY DARKNESS DARKY DARK!!!!11!" until their destruction. Big distinction there.

True, but all of The Ascians besides Elidibus seem to be oblivious to what Zodiark's intentions are at the moment. Considering that the WoD mentioned that Zodiark seemed to have nothing to do with The Void, it seems that Elidibus is probably using the other Ascians as pawns.
