I never even mentioned anything about Zodiark being right, that’s not even what this conversation is abo it, it’s about the biased representations given to us of certain events. Elidibus at this point was essentially a 3rd party in the debate of Convocation vs Venat’s group. Based on his dialogue he would indeed serve as a mediator presumably for both groups hence hearing and seeing both sides. I’m not sure what else there is to argue when we have concrete evidence of this in his dying dialogue, unless we’re going to accuse him of lying on his deathbed.
The whole point of Elidibus’ storyline in 5.3 was to show that being Zodiarks heart changed him, that the voices of his brethren had long drowned out his own. When he speaks of “steering the star on its true course,” and we hear what Venats group says of the Convocations reaction to their disagreement, are we not to conclude that Elidibus mediated nothing? Venats group certainly didn’t feel like they’d been heard, and the decision to go ahead with the third sacrifice happened anyway. His intention may have been rooted in solving the dispute, but whether he was still capable of being a mediator is uncertain.

And let it be clear that Elidibus was an Ascian through and through. His loyalties were to Zodiark and to the resurrection of his brethren.
