"Who...what are you?"

[Kallera]

Yes Thordan and the Ascians were playing off of each other,due to the dragon war, and with the war over said act would have to be dealt with.

At any rate, what was once an endless creed of badassery is now also thought provoking of our existence among others, with fan theories questioning just how human were are, or if we are perhaps losing ourselves to our purpose as Eorzea's and hydelyn's champion, becoming a "weapon of light".

The need to paint Thordan as evil, or to simplify the matter to black and white, makes it easier to swallow, "we had no choice" and well, we probably didn't. But intention doesn't seem to be much of a defense when becoming superhuman in Eorzea.

Which bring us back to why the question is an important one when applied to us.
