Will Sin-eaters get the Voidsent treatment?

[sidurgu-12]

So over time eating scion aether she will become a good little hero?

it needs to be a complete devouring, like what happened with the two voidsent in her domain.

Man if that was how it work, the voidsent of WoL playing reaper would have save the 13th before we even stepped in.

I don't think that the sin eaters were deliberately 'crafted'.

It's a good thing I never said that. I said the Light Wardens likely were, which we know that one of them was, that one being Vauthry.

To wit, why is it only Light Wardens flood into the nearest being after their defeat in order to perpetuate the blighted sky? Why is it not a trait of all Sin Eaters?

Do try to stay on topic, please. And maybe do more than skim read.

I'm mostly curious as to what the association between the Amdapori golems and sin eaters is, considering that it's questioned in-game by Alphinaud as though it's something we also should be wondering about.

The Triple Triad Cards for the Lightwardens;

Philia: The Lightwarden of Lakeland. The manacles which encircled its four limbs were whispered to be remnants of its mortal life─an elf, once held prisoner within the Hour of Certain Durance. Meaning “brotherly love,” Philia was the name bitterly bestowed upon the eater after it descended upon its home village and devoured its former neighbors.

Titania: King and ruler of the faeries, Titania once defeated a Lightwarden that threatened Il Mheg, only to be corrupted by the aether that was subsequently released. For long years thence, the fallen monarch was kept imprisoned within Lyhe Ghiah.

Eros: The Lightwarden of the Rak'tika Greatwood. A chimeric monstrosity, Eros was thought to be the amalgamation of several unfortunate creatures that were caught up and fused together by the Flood of Light. The meaning of its name─“romantic love”─is a mocking play upon the intimate and uncontrolled embrace which resulted in its present appearance.

Storge: The Lightwarden of Amh Araeng. Believed to have arisen from the corrupted essence of a sprite or faerie, the entity named for “familial love” made its lair in Malikah's Well. Legends tell that Storge feasted upon the memories infused within its domain─upon a queen's adulation for her departed king.

Innocence: Corrupted by the power of a Lightwarden whilst he was yet a babe in the womb, Lord Vauthry, ruler of Eulmore, underwent a drastic metamorphosis when that power was awoken. He assumed the form of “Innocence,” an entity whose radiant might and presence would eclipse all Wardens that had come before.

Nothing seems to indicate that the Lightwardens were designed, but rather that their natures and appearances were in some way a reflection of them before they were corrupted by the flood of light.

...

That's how aetheric corruption works, though. Eden was effectively the first 'Lightwarden', having an enormous amount of aspected umbral aether. It doesn't simply dissipate on its own. In Emet's case, we were able to dissipate it largely because he was astrally-aspected, likely as a result of his tempering. Perhaps on some level, we restored the balance in both our souls when we impaled him. In Mitron's case, we had to break it down by elemental component and then pit ourselves against an umbral-aspected being in order to dissipate it.

None of this was intelligently planned. The Ascians tried to exploit whatever they gleaned from their previous bungles, but they were more cruel than clever.

Its interesting this behavior is being pointed out about Sin-Eaters & Voidsent because of their alignment.

I remember way back in ARR there was a similar case with Leviathan's thralls when they fully turned to the water alignment, and transformed into monstrosities.

What would the Water Alignment behavior represent?

Joke answer: Piracy, duh.

Actual answer: Over-aspecting from primal tempering isn't quite comparable, since a significant part of the tempering process isn't just over-aspecting, but also a stagnation of the soul leading to a loss of a sense of self, which the primal can then overpower. As a result, we have zero examples of elemental over-aspecting that might actually show what that alone could result in mentally, only physically.

Key factor for sin eaters being dumb might also be that there is still a lifestream on the First.
Had light fully taken over without a calamity on the source to pop the bubble, they may have eventually developed minds like voidsent.

i dont think anything would survive if light completely took over since it would bring everything to a perfect standstill.
