Sundering stuff established in the Q&A

That's from before they summoned Zodiark They were deciding how best to save the star. This is also when Azem leaves.

Try again.

I don't think he needs to 'try again' since his sources and the overall context fit very with what Lauront is outlining where Tempering is concerned.

It's also deceptive framing since not all the sources linked in the lengthy post are from before the point of Zodiark's summoning which makes me question if the post was even read on anything but a surface level.

I don't want to unintentionally spoil anything if you're not all caught up with the MSQ's but have you done the story content that Slater is referencing, here:

I mean, we literally had an entire MSQ patch go over this just before EW with Tiamat which explicitly showed and stated that extremely powerful being like Dragons arent effected by tempering to the same extent and can still have will of there own.

That was literally the entire point of that whole thing.
