    I know this headcanon is not true in the slightest, but it's been sticking in my head ever since I played the MSQ:

    The title for a traitor to Garlemald is "viator". More specifically, "outcast and enemy to Garlemald", and so the title "viator" is given to mark them as a "wanderer"/"traveller", ie an exile with no home.

    However, this is a post facto explanation given for internal Garlean consumption. After all, Solus was the one who came up with the list of Imperial titles, and when he had to think up a title for someone branded traitor and outcast, the first thing he thought of was "traveller", because Emet-Selch still has lingering and complicated feelings over Azem's actions and the Convocation's reactions.

    And that also plays further into my earlier comments about him still having lingering feelings over Venat, and Lahabrea still feeling salty about having his concept used without his permission.

    Goddess, the Unsundered sure are/were a psychological train-wreck (but then, 12000 years worth of emotional baggage would change a person I guess).
