Questiona about Mother Hydaelyn

[Korinth]

While all of these various theories are very interesting, there are a few flaws in them I feel I should point out.

1. Ramuh clearly states that he existed before man. Outright pontificates on the subject. This is easily accepted by the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, formost experts on Primals. The manifestation of both Shiva and Good King Moggle Mog are the aberrations to the known order of existing Primals. My personal theory is that summoning a Primal-like entity such as them actually does just that, Shiva was a living Elezen, and her soul would have passed into the Aetherial realm when she died. And Good King Moggle Mog, whilst unlikely to have actually transported moogles from the divine realm, also apparently existed at some point in time. Furthermore, Iceheart is referred to as 'the Vessel', and her failure is apparently something that will please Lahbraea. She is also apparently the only one the Heretics can use to summon Shiva, and she retains control over the abilities granted to her. My thoughts on that are that she is the rebirth of said woman, and 'The Echo' is a remnant of past mortal lives of significance. Mortal Primals, if you will.

2. From the ending Cinematic of the original story quests (After Defeating Van Baelsar) Zodiark is referred to being 'returned', rather than existing alongside Hydaelyn. And then the Warrior of Light has a vision of the Mothercrystal overtaken by Darkness. My theory is that Hydaelyn and Zodiark are -both- the mothercrystal, but which one is it at a given time depends on the balance of Darkness and Light.
