I was thinking about the story so far and my mind dwelt on the topic of the Twelve. With our actual knowledge, I thought...
We know of the Convocation of Fourteen and the fact that one member left.
Now, this is just a speculation... that member is the original soul of the WoL and she/he may have formed a group to counter the convocation and the summoning of Zodiark.
What if the members of that newly formed group were actually those we know as The Twelve? Imho, The convocation was left with 13 members and the anti-zodiark group was formed by 12 members plus the WoL.
Another speculation: we now that someone can take up the mantle of a primal (For example, Ysayle and Yotsuyu). In my theory, Elidibus took up the mantle of Zodiark and the WoL took up the mantle of Hydaelyn. That would explain why the WoL is her champion and why Elidibus is the Emissary of Zodiark. Also, it would explain why after the sundering the anti-zodiark group was formed by twelve members: probably something happened to the WoL after the sundering, either she/he died or she/he was still fused with Hydaelyn during that mortal life.
Last speculation: what if destiny is pulling the string together and important characters of the story are actually reincarnations of the Twelve?
I tried to identify them...
WoL (Hydaelyn)
Lousioux (Althyk) [The Keeper. Louisoix conjured the power of Althyk during the final battle with Bahamut to deliver the adventurers to a safer place]
Minfilia (Menphina) [Similar Names. Daugther of Althyk. Lover of Oschon]
Thancred (Oschon) [The Wanderer and divine lover of Menphina]
Alisiae&Alphinaud (Nald'thal) [Twins]
Y'shtola (Nophica) [The Matron, daughter of Azeyma]
Urianger (Thaliak) [The Scholar]
Byregot (Cid) [The Builder]
Matoya (Azeyma) [The Warden. She is the mother of Nophica]
? (Llymlaen)
? (Rhalgr) [Maybe Papalymo?]
? (Nymeia)
And bear with me...
Zenos (Halone) [The description of Halone during the creation myth matches Zenos too well] [Maybe he will become an ally in the future? Who knows.]
