Sundering stuff established in the Q&A

[EaraGrace]

I don't see any reason why the sundering was needed to fight Meteion, I see no reason why the Ancients could not of fought Meteion, they could work with Dyanamis. So once the nature of the threat was made clear to them there seems to be no reason why they couldn't have done something about Meteion with time.

Venat, her faction, and the developers disagree.

She needs multiple rejoinings to happen so we can be sufficiently re-joined to kill the unsundered acians so most of the shards were nothing but fodder and the people on the source exposed to the full horror of multiple cataclysms by her actions. The rejoinings are part of her design

There’s a lot of different responses I could have to this, but I’ll just ask why, if this is true, she would fight against those “needed” Rejoinings?

She relied on said rejoinings though, that’s one of the major flaws in her plan. She required events to play out in such a specific manner. If not, who knows what would have happened. She needed Elidibus,Emet, etc to play their specific roles. Hell, had Elidibus not been on the First, her entire plan would be screwed as we needed him to even give us that time travel in the first place.

Which would go against both her statements and the act of saving Emet itself. If saving Emet and the other two are needed specifically to ensure the future plays out a certain, why would she do so on a complete gamble? And why not make contingencies for the other two? They just happened to be there.

I mean... unironically, factually, yes, to all of this? She did, in fact, know all of that when she deliberately left Emet an opening to escape?

So she simultaneously manipulated everyone to following the timeline, then did her utmost to upend it? She wasn’t required to try to stop the Flood of Light and yet she regrets not having the strength to do so all the same:



Then there’s granting her blessing to those resisting the Rejoinings, including back in 1.0. None of that works if we believe her to need the Rejoinings.



Can’t say she sounds thrilled at how things are turning out.

And then there’s her reaction at the Mothercrystal where she’s surprised when call her Venat. She clearly didn’t see it as set in stone.
