Now in a matter of 19 quests, we found a way to safely go to the thirteenth and back with all our friends, including a half-voidsent...

Did I miss some information along the way, or did they really invalidate this whole SHB litany? The question is legitimate.
I imagine "don't think about it" is the motto of all JRPG writers. It certainly is a requirement to enjoy the stuff they excrete.
