Speaking of Ironworks. I wonder if because of them the Source ended up running from the wolf and stumbling on the bear? There was no mention of Ascians or Final days happening in the "bad future" and here we are facing possible complete destruction of the star.
I don't think it would be that, because I would think that hey, the 8th Calamity went through, time for Emet to nap again, and for the Ascians to just hibernate until the Source can take another megadeath situation. In that future, the Ascians go uncontested for their 8th win against Team Hydaelyn. Kinda makes me wonder how the rest of the future calamities will go, what empire they'll make to replace Garlemald and such.

As far as our timeline goes, it's probably more accurate to say we fought and killed the Bear, and now there's a pack of suicidal hyenas. Kinda dangerous, but we're going to solve the whole Calamity problem in one fell swoop when we win. No more Ascian machinations will be possible after Endwalker. Big win.
