Confusion (of the highest order) about Venat and Sundering

[EaraGrace]

Then it brings us to my first point -- why it was worth it to sacrifice another group of people (now seemingly big) to prevent sacrificing of another group of people. It's sacrificing anyway? x)

I also love you guys turned this thread into discussion of something irrelevant lmao but still fun to read all these theories.

When Venat sunders the world she says

Venat: So let there be no way back. From that temptation I sunder us.

The intent was not simply to stop that third sacrifice, but to separate Zodiark, a god capable of fulfilling the Ancients short term desires and isolating them from any form of struggle, from them. Given he is the literal will of the star, the result is the world also being sundered. So in short, it’s not solely about saving one group by sacrificing another, it’s about saving all life from the Song of Oblivion, with the third Zodiark sacrifice being the point of no return for the Ancients.
