I'm not so sure about the "harbingers of Chaos" meaning they're neither light nor darkness. I think they're Harbingers of Chaos, yes, but in a world governed by Hydaelyn, because they seek to destroy her. In a world governed by Zodiark, they might be the guys that enforce "Harmony", meaning the guy that prevents their god and actual ruler of the world to be defeated.

Ascians seem closely related to Zodiark... They're not really fond of Elidibus, but they're allied to him for a while (Especially Lahabrea, which seems to be the Ascians' leader, even though he's not always listened to), so they're not Chaos, while Elidibus would be Harmony, which he really seems to represent.

Ascians are, in my opinion, the equivalent of scions of the Dark Side. Yes, they are really powerful, immortal and so, many things that the scions aren't, but they've been here for centuries. It wasn't on this thread, but I read a theory, the other day, saying that Ascians may have been WoL or WoD once, and that the power they gained made them the way they are now. I think it's oversimplifying, but I also think it may hold a part of the truth...

I can't picture Ascians not related to Zodiark, as I can't picture Minfillia not related to Hydaelyn.
