After the events of the Vault and the Antitower, enter the DRK questline for my version of the WoL, and after that, she vanishes off of the face of Eorzea; leaving only her signature aftermath of battle as a means to confirm that she is still alive.

In short, if my version of the WoL was canon, the MSQ ends after the Antitower and she disappears. Not necessarily because the death count has become so high (I can only imagine how much higher it is for those who are caught up), but because she chooses the path of deciding for herself who is the greatest threat to the planet.

She sees the MSQ struggles as 'a fight amongst ally cats', and focuses on the Voidsent who she feels threatens not only the entire planet, but existence itself. The questlines for both ARR and HW 24-man raids are a great example of where she shows up out of the blue to take care of a threat that SHE chooses. I can just see the smile on Alphinaud's face as he examines the wake and thinks, "What remains here are the ashes of the true enemy to our true friend."

Stepping outside of self-written lore, I have troubles as a healer main, dealing with all the blood the WoL spills. So enter DRK and a dual personality and it facilitates progression of the MSQ.
its nice to have headcanon on your iteration of the WoL though people here are discussing game canon. my WoL and how I view the story through her eyes is going to be different than other people but the story is the story and naught much we can do to change it.
