Are the actual Ascians all but defeated?

[myahele]

There could be 13-14 Asciens Overlords total.

2 died (Igeyohm and Nabriales); Lahabrea is inside Nidhogg's eye and might still play a role. I doubt the Ascien defeated by the WoD was killed since the only way to do that is to imprison them in an apparatus and destroying it ... for now. Eitherway, the rest of the Asciens would have been alot more careful if that was the case.

We know that regular people could atleast be "lesser asciens" but I am not sure if they could be promoted to replace an Ascien Overlord. Also, I think it it's Lahabrea that likes doing that and not the others since he's "from this world"
