It also makes it a bit odd that it would react to the player-Azem crystal, which shouldn't have had anything to do with Venat, being made by Hades in memory of the dead Azem.
And that's why I think there is a possibility it's not of Ancient creation. Why would our Azem make a device that is capable of dimensional fusion which would undo Venat's sundering? And how would pre-sundered Azem know how to make such a device that works in a world they are not, and will not be a part of? And on a meta level, Azem leaving our character the gift of a device that is capable of traveling anywhere is kind of game breaking. Which leads me to believe that our Azem or Venat during her time as Azem found the device during their adventures, and maybe put a protective seal on it.
