Ah, I should clarify. I haven't actually done that yet—only alluded to (some of) the Convocation, Hermes, and Venat eventually doing so. And while I do intend to write their first contact with the Meteia, I don't believe I'll do the whole of Ultima Thule. Better to leave that to the imagination, as otherwise I'd only be treading ground Endwalker itself already covered.

The majority of Ashes is dedicated more to the WoL (Galbana Lily) seeking to prevent the Final Days and the Sundering from occurring at all. I'll also make a confession—if you're expecting the story to portray any of the characters involved as evil, it's not like that. Everyone is given as fair a presentation as I could manage. It's actually kind of tricky, writing like that. If Fire Emblem has taught me anything, it's that having a villain or villainous group that exists to be hated goes a long way to keeping morally gray characters sympathetic. But I couldn't put a villain like that into this story.

… Well, aside from Ifrita. But that's spoilers.
