There's something I'm wondering about though. By the time we faced Ramuh, The Warriors of Light became world famous, our epic deeds known through the world We commited multiple deicides, slayed countless threats and mastered various disciplines
and those that did Coil to the very end, possibly took out the most dangerous primal to date
. We also revived various legendary weapons, explored several ruins and generally helped people.

All of this has me wondering if the Asceans are trying to force Apotheosis on the PCs or more likely, merge them with Zordiark to use Erorzea's faith in the Warriors for a huge power boost.
