Yet they were willing to sacrifice ALL UNSUNDERED souls aside Ascian's so that Zodiark spit back the ascian souls used during his summoning (thats it until a less radical ascian faction summoned Hydaelyn in kind to avoid that mass genocyde). Only after Hydaelyn defeated Zodiark and splitted reality that souls became sundered.

Solus aka Emeth disliked his grandchild Varis, because he reminded him too much of his dead son, to whom is implied Emeth came to love until he died young to a disease.

Emeth didnt expect anything of Varis
