Revelations from SHADOWBRINGERS

[Seraphor]

But, Hydaelyn is essentially still the creator of the world.
The world before the split, was a melting pot of creation magick, with a strict authoritarian civilisation that policed thought, because a wrong thought could create abominations.
Zodiark was summoned to police this further after the apocalypse, but required constant sacrifice to maintain. The Amaurotians basically had to castrate their very nature as creation mages, to an all-dominating soul vampire.

Hydaelyn sundered Zodiark and the world into 14 reflections, each diminished, but each… as much as our very own world, each with mortals, like us. These worlds, that imitate our own real world, were created by her.
Hydaelyn demands nothing for her efforts, she requires no worship, nor even knowledge of her existence, she merely requests that everyone live free.

In what twisted philosophy is Hydaelyn a villain or a threat?

At least, to anyone other than a self-aggrandizing, overly nostalgic Ascian.
