What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

Ah, Hyth's quote was the one I was thinking of! I distinctly remembered it being said the Convocation more or less never ventured forth from Amaurot, but felt it was rather pointless to post without recalling where. I was wondering if Yoshi had dropped it in an interview.

I'm far from a fan of Venat, but it's grasping at straws trying to compare what at most would have been occasional work trips for the Convocation to what was essentially not only a job but a way of life to anyone in the seat of Azem.
