Funny how the Ancients of Amaurot were debating the same sort of non-action before the Final Days that the Sharlayans have accepted as orthodoxy (to our knowledge).

The parallels are disturbing.

As for "Zodiark = good, Hydaelyn = evil" ... The problem is that there is a dichotomy where none really exists. The two are fixed points, but the "heart" that was to control one of them abandoned those responsibilities to once again become Elidibus.

Zodiark has no heart, nothing to guide them but --- what, exactly, was Zodiark's purpose again? To supress? To conquer? We know it wasn't to return the souls used in its creation. Such a cheap means of payment would be no sacrifice.
