I don't know how much the Ascians are going to play a part in ARR since the original story was scrapped.

I studied the Limsa storyline a lot and here's he summary. Basically, the Ascian Travanchet was looking for the "Key" that would unlock "Seal Rock". Seal Rock is supposed to be an island called Swallowtail Roam that, like Dalamud, was the prison for a giant serpent that spewed water until all of the land and life on Eorzea was threatened. Y'shtola read a tablet fished off the island, that suspiciously looks similar to the type of "stones" that made up Dalamud. The tablet said that there were some fell Grammaryes (magic) that called forth "O'erreaching seas." Later, however, in the recruiting quests for the GCs, Y'shtola spoke of a cabal of mages that either triggered or stopped up the deluge (Sisipu says it was Llymlaen who stopped it) but she stopped short of saying what the truth was.

At any rate, the Ascian wanted to key to himself. He was also in line with the Sahagin who turned violent and aggressive as soon as Swallowtail Roam appeared. Considering what we know from the sylphs, exposure to the influence of primals causes changes in the beast tribes, making them violent and aggressive.

If the "key" that the Ascian was seeking is the one that would be used to free a primal (Leviathan) from his cage, would it stand to reason that the Ascian was "teaching" the Sahagins how to summon a primal and therefore, is it reasonable to speculate that Ascians are the Paragons?

Your thoughts please.

I don't know if unsealing a primal is the same as teaching the tribes to summon it. To me, it sounds more like he just wanted to free Leviathan, possibly to let it run wild, kinda like Bahamut went wild upon being unsealed. I can imagine Leviathan would be pretty mad after being sealed for so long too...

Sidenote: I think you meant "Grimoires"
