There was nothing and no one to hold Hydaelyn in check. Who watches the warden?

    I think the why of it is as simple as their plan having no oversight. It was ultimately an experiment with good intent gone wrong. If Zodiark and the Ascians are tragic heroes turned villains, Hydaelyn is somewhat the same. It's tragedy all around for our Greek inspired Amaurotines.
    Okay, so what changed between then and now? Because in the present day, if anything Hydaelyn's problem has been underkill. She doesn't put forward enough to reliably kill the Ascians, which caused Lahabrea to live and caused Ardbert's attempt on Mitron's life to backfire. (Ysayle also failed when she tried to get her help, but it's hard to tell who's responsible for that one.)

    How did a figure who apparently went so wild in the ring she broke the ring end up being that reserved?

    Either loss of power over time, resulting in a return to sanity, or her own faction's failsafe being employed. Though it could also be a return to sanity since the prime directive was accomplished.

    "I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore
