Where does this come from? At the point of Shadowbringers, that question was one of the big confusing ones that wouldn't get addressed at Q&A events – whether we were descendants or creations of the ancients, or even simply co-inhabitants of the planet alongside the Amaurotine race.

I don't recall having gotten a definite statement on it before Endwalker, so unless I've missed something, how can we be certain it was their intent all the way from Shadowbringers?
