You want to kill vast numbers of innocent people? Cause that is the Darkness factions MO at the moment. Even the WoD were only going with that to save their own world and that was basically killing everyone on their own world so they weren't trapped in a Void of Light.

Hydaelyn has actually brought this up before. She actually brought it up with us in Gears of Change when she mentioned how in banishing Zodiark she created this situation, something she only did be cause Zodiark tried to take over. Now admittedly we have only her world to go off but we also know that Team Zodiark's solution isn't exactly good for those of us alive on the worlds.

Hydaelyn doesn't have free reign. She outright says she needs emissaries to act through just as Zodiark uses the Ascians. The only reason she was able to talk to us was because the Crystals of Light combined strength was enough to allow her to reach out. The Ascians themselves have said she is massively weakened. The whole deal with Minfilia is she had grown so weak she couldn't even commune with her chosen champion without a voice piece.

Its also not like she gives us a lot of orders beyond 'Ascians are bad, don't trust them' which the Ascians own track record should be enough to show. Beyond that she has generally just told us to learn and decide what to do ourselves.

On the eyes of Nidhogg. I'm pretty sure they are just big Aetheric batteries at this point. I doubt we will actually see Nidhogg again in any form.
