I get Zodiark as it is an original creation where someone was put into it to be the heart..but Venat..?

….my thoughts are that the devs just wanted everything related to Hyd and Zod over and done with entirely.
To go along with what we told her I guess. How else do you keep your name in the minds of people while not wanting people to have to give prayers to you? We don't know how often people awoke to the echo during the time in-between the ramp ups to calamities where she if not at times Elidibus caused star showers type visions. I'm sure after some point in time after the sundering when the memories of the presundered world became murky the best guess as to what the name is world I guess would be those echo users. Depending on how quickly any information and memories of the presundered world deteriorated happened of course.
