What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

I feel like they desperately need to introduce some kind of new long-term plot hook, because I don't think making a transition to completely self-contained stories for future expansions is going work out well given all the post-patch story that has to be considered.

The only thing that really springs to mind is the state of "natural" rejoining hypothesized by Y'shtola resuming now that Hydaelyn is gone and we have to deal with the unpredictable consequences of such over the next future expansions before ultimately finding a way to stop it before the shards and the Source as we know are toast.

I still thinking merging the 1st and 13th would make for an incredible expansion, giving us more map zones on the 1st while opening up the entirety of the 13th's map for exploration.

Balance is everything, and those who are currently polar opposites. Imagine taking Eden to the 13th or sending Zeromus to the 1st!

While it would undoubtedlymake for cool expansion, the physics of the world as described would mean that 13th and 1st are actually LEAST likely to have even a chance at rejoining because of polar opposition. Calamities that caused rejoinings with the Source were all done by upsetting balance towards SAME element in both Source and the Shard.
