Interesting that having a Flood without a Calamity produces a Void.
MSQ spoilers:

How much more confirmation do you need? This is all the confirmation that we're gonna get that the original Golbez was Azem of the 13th, and he died during the war. His soul is inside that crystal, so I suppose we could rejoin with it in the future?
Also makes for an interesting parallel between Ardbert and Golbez, both got tricked by Ascians and almost destroyed their respective worlds. Makes you wonder, do the Ascians always go for the Azem of each shard (maybe expectedly, since they all happened to collect more crystal blessings from Hydaelyn) and trick them into destroying their own world? Is that what happened to all the rejoined reflections?

And Cleretic, you might be right about the dragon tease at the end. It definitely would make sense that Vrtra's siblings would respond and make for a cute ending to the tale. I still think we're going to Meracydia tho
Also, will Azdaja ever recover her original form? Or will she permanently be baby dragon?
