Thoughts on how we might go from WoL to WoD

[LineageRazor]

As Moose said, the requirement for dual Calamities is unconfirmed. Ascian meddling on other Shards doesn't necessarily mean that the Ascians are priming those other Shards for calamities. It could be that the Ascians there are simply working to keep those Shards in Balance, so they do not Flood either way before a Rejoining has the chance to occur. Igeyorhm failed in this task hardcore.

The fact that the Warriors of Darkness believed that their world could be Rejoined to the Source to salvage what souls remained implies that yes, either a calamity on the shard is unnecessary, or a Flood qualifies as a calamity. However, it also bears remembering that Elidibus was the one who lead them to that conclusion, and his trustworthiness is suspect. It could be he was simply willing to write the First off as a loss, and recruited powerful warriors from that shard to assist in causing a calamity to absorb some other shard.

However, it's also possible that Elidibus was sincere, and that he DID want to "save" the First through a Rejoining (if only because it'd be a waste to let a perfectly good shard fall to a Flood).

We honestly do not have enough information on what it takes to cause a Rejoining to do more than speculate.

It feels a bit more apparent as to why we're going to become the WoD

now that we know that an excess of light is warping the Source's aether in a way that Solus seems to be intending to exploit to cause a calamity.

We're the brightest light around, so if that's something the Ascians plan to use to their advantage, then it would make sense for us to just turn it off and make the shift to the dark until balance has been restored.

Though that still leaves the how of this WoD business.
