So about that Eden

[Seraphor]

10characters

Remember the Flood of Light was caused by Ascian meddling, and Eden was the cause of it, then it makes sense that the Ascians had a hand in it.

Personal theory is that Eden was created by the people of the 13th, coerced by Ascians into controlling the balance of aether. That's why it's technological, because it is technology.
That's why Gaia said something along the lines of Eden destroying her world.
Then to instigate the Flood of light on the First, Emet-Selch brought Eden over again.

Perhaps Eden was used for all of the calamities?
