On Venat's Role in the Story

[KageTokage]

I really don't consider Venat's decision to cause the Sundering "unjustifiable" after it's implied in the Elpis quests that the "beast" tribes were created by them.

The Ancients largely (And perhaps logically from a certain viewpoint) held to a standard that only their lives mattered but if they were poised to start routinely offering up mass sacrifices including sentient beings that were scarcely different from them aside from the amount of power/aether they held, I feel like they had it coming. Opening up a solution to the Final Days by enabling the people of Etheriys to wield dynamis was just another reason to go through with it.

Not to mention there's no guarantees their plan would've even worked; even moreso when we learn Zodiark was basically a hivemind of all the Ancients who sacrificed themselves to bring salvation following Elidibus' decision to cease being his heart, so what happens when those souls are replaced by those who are unwilling?
