And there's the crux of the issue. It's undetermined, like so many other things in this plot. What you've given me doesn't answer the actual dilemma in what I was saying. Why is Hermes still vital, at a point where Venat already knows the root cause is in the aether currents, that Meteion is the problem, and that dynamis is a major factor in the Final Days? Are you trying to tell me he is the only person alive who can point to these aether currents? When the entirety of the Convocation is made aware of the problem by someone else, he will still be the only person in the entire world capable of solving this issue?

Even if your answer to this is yes, I would take great issue with the plot's decision to make it so.
