Thread: The Reasoning behind The Sundering? (*6.0 Endwalker Spoilers*)

In their case, it may have just carved off portions of their aetheric essence. I doubt they'll want to come back to them since their time is over so I imagine something like this will be the case.

Also what's with taking Emet's soul when later he's brought to the end of the universe and presumably gets back to Etheirys no problem?

I dislike the writing around Venat to an extreme degree. It's screwed up on every level.

All in a day's work for a supreme deity.

But yes, I agree.
