When are we supposed to stop fighting?

[Rulakir]

Gods I hate that cutscene so much. It's from Venat's POV so it's biased and it's clearly not a faithful retelling of events. I mean, if we're not allowed to bring up anything from ShB or Amaurot as fact because it's only "one side of the story" or "Emet's interpretation" then this should be no different. As with most things, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. There's nothing other than that cutscene with the Zodiark Cultist Strawmen group to indicate the Ancients as a whole were like that, on the contrary, we know for a fact they weren't because Venat had a following of "no small number". The question I'd like answered is what was her threshold to not sunder the world?

The Ancients were so divided over the fate of the star that Elidibus exited Zodiark to mediate. I doubt any further sacrifices were going to be made without him in the pilot's seat, which would imply Venat sundered the world in the middle of negotiations. It comes across as not everyone complied quickly enough so, F it, sundered!

Kinda sad her own POV paints her in such an unflattering light.

Theres no difference in the vision and how the populace is described in regards to Zodiark. "No small number" does not indicate many.

Elidibus' return was not due to their being a large divide, but that there was a divide at all, one that worried the Convocation. We know by the time Venats group finalize their decision to summon Hydaelyn that the Convocation was not listening to them. Clearly time passed.
