The way I see it is, one ended up winning and one ended up losing. Simple. It doesn't matter who was right or wrong. If someone can find a way to win by being sneaky and forming a coup, well then the losers can whine all they want but in the end they lost. Isn't that how life is anyway? There's a lot of injustice in the world that happens just because someone used money, power or some type of strategy to implement their plans. For an ancient just living their life who has nothing to do with the convocation's choices, Venat is a villain. To the sundered defending their lives, the Ascians are the villains. If the Ascians had won, the story would be told in a different way and they could be viewed as heroes. All that matters in the end is who wins, then they can write history the way they want.
