Primals - A Discussion on Ethics & Philosophy (ARR & HW Spoilers)

[Lutefisk]

If it was only about Ascians why not work truly together with the WoL?

Thordan does propose that you consider aiding his cause in the audience that takes place after the trial.

If we are to rid ourselves of these vile interlopers, we must needs work together. With our combined strenght, I have faith we can wrest Eorzea from their grasp, and pave the way for a lasting peace. Think on it.

But when Aymeric barges in his office flinging accusations at him while refusing to disclose how he came to know about all those things he comes to the conclusion that his trust in WoL was misplaced and proceeds with his plans of Ascian annihilation alone.

Instead after we take care of one Ascians and he took down the other one, he turns around and immediately challenge us to a fight to the death. Why do that if the only reason he took all the power, was to defeat the Ascians?

Like I said, at this point Aymeric's father is gone and the only thing left is the peace and order primal. Much like Ga Bu's Titan it still retains some of his personality and does acknowledge that you would try to dispose of him, but he won't go down without a fight because the Archbishob has no control over it like Ysayle does with Shiva.

I am become that which you abhor, Warrior of Light. If you would take issue with my godhood, I shall answer to you with my blade.

He knew what awaited him if he would do it a deemed dying by our hand an acceptable price to pay for having one less Ascian around.
