    I suppose if 100 years could pass in the span of what was merely a month or two on our side of things the flood could've reasonably happened during the time of Amdapor/Mhach.

    I find the notion of the sin eaters not being strictly the domain of the First more interesting, though.

    In theory any sufficiently overwhelming light aether imbalance should turn someone, with nothing about the process requiring that it be on the First. I really think it's the easiest explanation for how Amdapor saw Sin Eaters.

    They say somewhere that the process that makes the sineaters work only really works on the first due to the how over aspected to light the world is. On the source the light imblance that leads to the slow turning in to a sineater wouldn't happen as they would rebalance there ather with the ambient ather. The Amdapor stuff really doesn't seem to have any kind of meaningful link

    It doesn't - SE just reused models for two specific sineater enemies which happened to be the same design as the animated statues in Amdapor without any lore connection. Given we've seen voidsent taking the same form as plant enemies that 'naturally' occur on the Source (the dryad type which is a cross between a beetle, flower bulb and humanoid), similary without any lore explanation to my knowledge, I think the whole "Amdapor based it's animated statues on beings from another plane" thing is just window dressing with no deeper lore connection, and especially not to the First.

    Hence unless SE states outright that theory as correct ("Amdapor statues were based directly on sineaters"), I'm going to regard it as just another model reuse with no deeper lore connection or implication.
