Wait, so why did the Archbishop... (SPOILERS)

[Anonymoose]

Super-awesome Allagan tech aside, Urianger states they likely went to Azys Lla to seek out the Warring Triad's power when you go trigger the EX Primal quest.

Correct;

'Twas first and foremost to acquire the infinite power of the Warring Triad that the archbishop did seek Azys Lla.

Considering his intent to betray the Ascians, this is the Secret of Allag™ that probably tempted him the most.

I'm still unsure whether we're to believe that the Ascians knew that the Triad were his specific focus when the story was in motion, though. It feels a bit like a post-affairs revelation. The Ascians sought to sow conflict and were surprised to see the Warrior of Light was powerful enough to deny them their abilities. If they knew ahead of time that the Archbishop specifically planned to reach Azys Lla to drive Ascalon into the Warring Triad and consume their "infinite power," wouldn't they have shown some caution? He could end all conflict with that much power, and surely rival the Warrior of Light's ability to occasionally check the Ascians. I don't feel like I've wrapped my mind entirely around that part of the story, yet.
