Fandaniel and the Depths of Ascian Tempering

[RyuDragnier]

Next are the issues presented by Emet-Selch and Mitron. As we know, the tempered are driven to carry out the will of their Primal - Yet, Emet actively worked against Zodiark in leaving the Azem stone to WoL and then even saving WoL in the battle with Elidibus. And Mitron, his plans had nothing to do with Zodiark and arguably worked against Zodiark as well, he wished to compress time simply to be with Gaia for all eternity.

Related to Mitron and Gaia is the fact that, so far as we know, tempering is undone upon someone's death. As all the sundered Ascians died, none of them should be tempered. It being a matter of memory doesn't make much sense, as it's always been shown as an aetherial issue with the Primal's aether imprinting into someone, and a trip through the Lifestream really should wash away any such aetherial influence upon the body and soul.

This makes me wonder, if they are tempered, did Zodiark give them a message like Hydaelyn gave us? If so, what was it, that they would be able to follow their own wills? I'm still of the mindset that Zodiark and Hydaelyn are just opposite sides of the Will of the Planet, and that they both have the same thing they want...for life to flourish and grow. The difference may be as simple as Zodiark willing to causing great change fast in order for life to flourish, while Hydaelyn wants change to happen slowly over time for life to flourish. Two opposing viewpoints, yet together create how the world itself currently works.

We actually KNOW the message sent by Zodark.

When everybody is given the echo on first, when everybody there is shown the falling stones, there's two responses. Much is said about the "see, hear, feel" of Hydalin, that's noticed, commented on, and remembered. There's another group there, with something else they get. None of that other group get the "see, hear, feel" ... no, they get a feeling of unease, and a longing for a place they never were, and can't possibly remember.
