About Ysthola and tempering

She is able to see aether and thus able to see how the Light changes us even before we reach a point where we notice it too. Ryne is then later telling how our soul is not shattering anymore, so I guess Ryne can see the soul much better.

In Owens scenes its shown that the soul changes color (or maybe that was just his way to make it clear) so she should notice that something is different with echo users or WoLs because I really doubt the rest of the aether remains completely untouched.

Also if we are tempered by her why do we not say anything in her defense? Why would other WoLs be able to go completely against her or in the case of the 13th be changed by the primals and turned into a monster?

At least I have watched an english stream today and its a bit less strict there. They dont really talk about the possibilty of us falling out of her graze, it sounded more that they are going into the direction that something might be keeping her from communicating with us. Only Ysthola is a bit more skeptic. For me it makes it feel a bit less negative and more interested in what is going on.

@Lauront:

I watched the Eden cutscenes again and it was bascially Mitron who has turned into Eden that released the Light thus creating the Flood. According to him the first became really imbalanced thanks to the flood of darkness on the 13th world and would now lean more towards the Light. The Ascian basically kept the light in check and it was Emets plan to use that to bring in another rejoining. They made Ardbert and his group so strong. They gave them the enemies that would create their crystals. They did just not think about the possibility that Ardbert would not raise his axe towards a former friend and instead killed the ones behind it. And when Ardbert attacked Mitrons soul with the blade of light he bascially turned into Eden and now mindlessly released all the light that was already in him (which kinda implies imo that they took in the Light to keep it balanced) thus causing the flood.

Ardbert and his group did not spread the light thanks to being forced through the blessing. They were just unlucky that defeating the true enemy turned him into a sin eater with no mind of its own. It was fully on the Ascians to create the plan of bringing the First even more towards the brink of a flood of light after they have caused the imbalance thanks to their actions on the 13th.

So I am not sure if we can see that as a hint that through the will of the blessing they kinda wanted to spread the light.

But I agree we dont know everything about tempering and I am looking forward on what they will find.
