Something about the new Ascian lore

This there proof of this anywhere? If this was discussed I missed it in the quests.

Soul Surrender from what I remember. It's why Ardbert requested that Minfilia bring his party back to the First.

Ah. So just because mortals require other means to traverse the barriers between worlds I didn't think that implied or meant each one had it's own lifestream.

The Warriors of Darkness were trying to cause a rejoining, because that was the only way to allow any remnant of the First to survive. They knew very well that not a single life on the First would survive the Rejoining - but the First's Lifestream, and all of the souls within it, would rejoin with the Lifestream on the Source. This implies that BEFORE the Rejoining, the Lifestreams are separate.

I don't think that's necessarily the case.

The alternatives are between letting the First "freeze" into an irreversible flood of Light, eternally locked in place without release, or letting it dissolve into formless aether before that can happen. It would kill everyone in the world, but allow their souls to be free to rejoin the Lifestream.

That concept still works whether the shard initially had a separate Lifestream or not, but I've previously assumed that there's one single Lifestream for all the shards. It would make more sense with Hydaelyn being located within it but also able to call to Warriors of Light on the shards, not just the Source. I'm not sure if there's direct quotes to support it or not.
