The questions I want EW to answer the most: WHY and HOW was the world sundered?

[RyuDragnier]

I brought up the sundering because i originally was making a comment about the sacrifices. You brought up how it was “wrong” in your opinion. We don’t know if the ancients who sacrificed themselves had perhaps been told they’d try to bring them back once all is said and done, there’s many unknowns. They were sacrificed to save the planet. They did so and the last set of sacrifices wasn’t going to destroy the planet again so that argument is moot.

But it does mean their sacrifice was for nothing. Imagine sacrificing yourself to save the world, being brought back, and the people you loved are no longer themselves, they're fanatics towards the god you helped create. And they sacrificed other life that did not consent to do it, something that goes against everything your entire society and culture was for. It's very likely you'd say you never would have done it to begin with if it was going to lead to this.
