Something about the new Ascian lore

[Alleo]

That being said, I think ti's probably fair to say our character is more of a reincarnation of some Amaroutine (presumably the 14th counsel member due to conservation of detail.) As far as we understand our characters still have their own will and personality.

Oh of course we still have our own will and personality. We are not truly the 14th member right now and maybe we wont ever be it. (Wrote it a bit bad there sry) But I do find it interesting that if we are the reincarnation of that person that we still hold fast to the same principles. Seemingly the 14th left because they did not agree with the plan, maybe just like us they might have even had one that did not need sacrifice. Maybe it would have united the people and give them hope thus stoping the creation of these monsters out of their fear. The 14th also might have had their hands in creating Hydaelyn but even if they did not, he/she might have been an inspiration for those that did.

But she is, splitting (more like destroying since they lose everything that made their existence like appearance, memories, etc) every life forms (except for 3) into 14 isn't doing good.
People are quick to tell that the Ascians are killing billions with each Rejoining, Hydaelyn was the very first to do it with the Shattering. (No the first and second sacrifices to Zodiark don't count as killing since the people gave their lives willingly)

But as the quests told us, she was summoned with that power. Why would people summon someone with that, if it was not intended to be that way? Maybe they knew that they cant defeat Zodiark like that thus let Hydealyn split him up. And maybe those ancients ones saw that they have created the worst of the calamity thanks to their use of creation magic, a magic that can take on another form just by being not 100% concentrated when doing it..And they knew that this might happen again and at the same time did not want future people to suffer for this. Thus they saw the decrease of the power as the only way to stop all of this. (And would have succeeded if three Ascians did not somehow escape all of that) We do not know if Hydaelyn shattering the world truly killed everyone. How would life even start again if that was the case?
