On Venat's Role in the Story

[Rulakir]

I just wanted to add, regarding Venat acknowledging her actions, that the game doesn't treat her as a monster. The player is not given any dialog choices towards her that are negative, the NPCs justify her actions, and the cutscenes are emotional in a positive way. She comments in Anyder about "suffering the eternal condemnation of our brethren", but the sundering wiped everyone's memories. Aside from the unsundered, there wasn't anyone who knew or cared about what she did and even Emet forgives her in his own way. There is no one who hates her and by the end of it none who considers her choices to even be questionable.

Edit: Point being, the narrative at no point supports what she did as even being morally grey. Venat/Hydaelyn is overwhelmingly presented as being right and good.
