The Reasoning behind The Sundering? (*6.0 Endwalker Spoilers*)

She was clearly not talking about Meteion in that situation. The context was entirely about Zodiark.

Doesn't Hydaelyn switch between using "darkness" and Zodiark though? With Zodiark being used whenever she actually refers to him?

Before there was life, in the depths of the aetherial sea, Light and Dark did once dwell as one.

But the Darkness coveted power, and the balance was broken. Thus was I forced to banish Him unto the distant heavens, to forever remain apart. A moon bound.

Zodiark longeth to be made whole. For His restoration, for His resurrection, His servants labor without cease.

Seven times have they succeeded. Seven times hath the Darkness grown stronger. Seven times have I failed.

I don't really see how any of that can be referring to Meteion. Note the capitalized Him being used to refer to both "the Darkness" and "Zodiark".

Thanks for that, it has been a while since I saw that cutscene and needed a refresher on that.
