Zodiark's Codex entry what do we think about it?

[Lyth]

I'm not really sure why there's so much agitation over the revelation that the Convocation ordered the people of Amaurot to sacrifice themselves to their God. Conscription is just the logical extension of the decision to summon Zodiark in the first place. It seems a bit silly to fail the summoning ritual simply because you met part of, but not all of the sacrificial quota.

What is more interesting is the question around why the Amaurotines would ever come to worship Zodiark as a God in the first place. Amaurot was, for all purposes, a very scientifically-minded people, if you can agree to see magic in this universe as a form of technology. Concepts were just viewed as tools to be utilized and discarded in order to meet the dictates of society. It's strange that a Concept would become the subject of divine worship, emphasized by the capitalization on 'He'. It's also interesting that the decision around additional sacrifices didn't seem to be part of the original plan - they were perpetuated by those who had come to worship Him. You can't help but wonder how lucid the decision-making was around these later decisions.

We've seen recently seen a lot of discussion about the corrupting influence of auracite, a tool that the Amaurotines weaponized but themselves didn't fully understand. We also know that there's overlap between auracite and eikonic corruption. Who knows, perhaps if the Amaurotines had required a Light-aspected summon to construct their celestial barrier, they might have ended up worshipping the High Seraph instead of the Keeper of Precepts.
