The thing is though,

It's suspicious Azem didn't respond to their overtures. So that makes it a bit doubtful. The other thing is, people are so quick to assume something is wrong with Zodiark but, what about Hydaelyn then who is also in the same classification. If Zodiark's summoning was deemed a bad idea and if he was causing problems, why would Venat's faction then summon another primal like him who also tempers? Yes they were tempered but you have to keep in mind Zodiark's purpose and also the way the tempering works.
