    And i'm very grateful for the discussion as to me Hydelan has been questionable as of late to the point where if there was someone else with as strong an echo as Minfilia could she get them to willing give up their life essence to preserve more aether for communication (atm i don't think it will based on 3.4 with the word of the mother going to the warriors of darkness world to counterbalance the overflowing light).
    I do however think between Hydelan/WoL and Zodiark/Ascians Hydelan is definitely the greater sense of good and that since she is a flawed being it makes her more interesting within the story

    Ty for the reply Annoymoose ^^ and i rightly agree that its odd that Hydelan waited until Minfilia to have a 1st envoy especially given that there has been WoLs in the past

    There is no precedent or reason to think this, really, but I think it'd be fun if she did. Imagine if (when mortals were first created) She empowered emissaries to guide and protect them, but that the inherent battle within every person to fight their own internal darkness flawed those chosen from the get-go. Perhaps those chosen mortals raised unto godly status did more harm than good; neither the Mother nor Her children are perfect, after all.

    It would not only fall right in line with Hydaelyn (and mortals) occasionally making mistakes, but it would have given Her reason to try to play it safe—to handicap Herself in Her own war by being conservative. A chosen set of potentials to receive the Echo. A chosen subset of those who answered the call. A chosen subset of those to give more power. A chosen one to be Her champion.

    Perhaps there were a few such beings that had to be prevented from interacting with the planet any longer. Perhaps... twelve.

    But, again, that's likely way too far out from the known to be anywhere near accurate, lol.
