While I don't think Pandaemonium may shed some light on the idea of sundering a soul to separate it from something it became like the creations/transformations in Pandaemonium leading to what Venat did to sunder Zodiark it is an interesting theory.


There are technically 2 or 3 potential Azems that would be involved in the story. Venat, Themis/an unknown, make it really hard to pinpoint exactly who is what given that there is no direct involvement and only an idea of a wandering persons. I think this is why all the Ancient locations like Amarout work the way they do, why we collect 14 crystals of the seat of the convocation, why the Zodiac is represented, why Hythlo explains Azems crystal creation and questions if it is his actions or his recreators, and even why Elidibus doesn't seem to recognize the WoL after we use Azems crystal to use Azems favorite spell to summon our "friends" to our side, and why there is so much misdirection in general when it comes to Azems identity.
Azem for better or worse has either a large connection to the WoL and the story or the writers are 7 heads, or the Azem that the story indicates we are potentially involved with really is the root of corruption.(which I favor because it makes more sense to be Hydaelyns familiar/ and at worst Azem after Hydaelyn created the familiar itself to act as her proxy. only because of the dialogue with hythlo when we get to Elpis where he states that it is odd that a familiar would have a soul)
Themis is Elidibus not Azem lol
