Tangentially, I found it especially weird that for all Emet-Selch tried to show us Amaurot as this enlightened and peaceful civilization, literally the only three Amaurotines who "survived" the Sundering (and I'm including Elidibus to make it more charitable to them) were immensely callous to "lesser beings", not just regarding the people living on the shards, but also their own Convocation members.

The Eden story even highlighted this: Emet-Selch (or Elidibus, were he so inclined) could have stopped the Flood of Light, if he had saved Mitron early on by de-Edenifying him. Instead, the Ascians just shrugged and went "meh, we can raise another shard of Mitron, forget about that one".

And then there were the flashbacks by Elidibus of his early days on the Convocation, where all the other Convocation members went "you are worthy of your position, so be proud of yourself". Compare to the present day, when every other Ascian felt that Elidibus was an insufferable bore at best, or actively cheered his demise in the case of Fandaniel.
