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

[Rosenstrauch]

It does not seem likely that old Lahabrea, who did not care much about his son, would somehow care about Elidibus. It is much more likely that Erichtionios, who met Elidibus in Pandaemonium and thus came to care about him, is our Lahabrea.

The problem with that is that, per Emet-Selch, the Lahabrea who was eaten by Thordan was the same Lahabrea who created Phoinix. Erichthonius sucks at using any magic at all, with the only notable exception being the sealing magic used in Pandaemonium.

Yep exactly my point. It’s why a lot of this doesn’t add up and that completely refutes the erich is our lahabrea theory.

It does however, make it likely that The Watcher is based on Erich, since The Watcher was skilled only with sealing magic.

That’s a possibility, although we don’t know just how many other people there are who may be skilled in sealing magicks. In fact the next tier could very well introduce us to some other wardens who have a knack for it.Although, i think it's stated that the watcher was referred to as a researcher friend of Venat's. So unless she shows up in Panda i dont see it as a possibility very much.
