Emet created the empire explicitly to create endless conflict on the star. He says as much when we first see him in the post StB cutscenes. Either way if he was trying to give the Sundered a chance for many years prior to doing so. Good. But his conclusion that he has the right to judge and destroy them is wrong.

A lot of dumb things are said and happen around Hydaelyn. I'm not happy about it either. Regardless Alphinaud stating that he wouldn't want to live in a rejoined world because it would effectively erase the existing history and culture is completely fair. It's his history and culture, he has a right to try to defend it.

Your mention of higher ups helping the sundered is precisely why I want to see where the story goes from here. No more help, no more training wheels. No more outside influence. Creating their own civilizations is still something the sundered did without help, though. They also built their own spaceships; one of which can reach the edge of the universe. Some discovered how to summon dark souls from the void realm, that didn't come with outside influence. Oh let's also not forget a time machine.
The time machine was from higher up help though lol. It was an ascian who helped awaken alexander and omega is an unsundered entity.We still do have outside influence, we still have the blessing. We still have the azem crystal. Hell, they relied on a giant primal for 12k+ years to defend them from Meteion.

Imo i think Emet does have a right to do that. These people are living at the expense of his own, and their lives only last a tiny minuscule fraction that the ancient lives last. It’s numbers. Again, statistically, leaving the sundered world as it is is causing more death in the long run than a one and done rejoining would. I’m not saying the sundered don’t technically have a right to defend themselves, but the ascians/ancients have that same right because it’s one group of people existing at the other’s expense.
