Something about the new Ascian lore

[Kokomi]

There are times when tragedy is preferable to a very cut and dry "you're wrong, we're right" kind of story. I will find the end of ShB much more interesting if we do indeed find that Hydaelyn and her summoners are just as guilty as Emet-Selk and his ilk.

I feel bad enough that we had to kill Emet-Selch. No more please.

The Ascians are definitely alien in mindset, physiology, and sheer power, so it's pretty easy for me to imagine their moral standards are not the same as ours.

Sure, but that doesn't mean both moral standards are equally acceptable. Or if you're going the route of "they are just so different from us we can never understand them", then that's the end of the discussion.
