What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

[Theodric]

I was under the impression that what made her different from the others is that like our Azem, she actually wandered around the world and experienced things. Most of the Convocation rarely if ever left Amaurot. Unless we were specifically chosen to replace Venat as Azem due to being equally batty, I think actually going to the world and meeting people and doing things down there affected the outlooks for both Azems.

I'm hoping for a Tales from the Dawn that will go into this and I'm at least expecting something from Venat's point of view, considering how important she is to the story and already had Hades and Elidibus' POVs in the Tales. Though I'm sure this thread or another will explode no matter what's written in it anyway.

Hythlodaeus points out during Elpis that Emet-Selch travelled Etheirys as well, helping others without ever expecting gratitude or praise in return. So Venat certainly wasn't unique in terms of actually walking amongst her people - though she certainly seemed to delude herself into thinking as such. It was never explicitly stated whether the other members of the Convocation travelled as well and to the same extent but I daresay it's a safe bet that they did to a decent degree.

As for a Venat centric story, I do suspect it wouldn't go down well if it was another 'here's why genocide is good, actually' moment. I will say, though, it's been positively delightful to watch the mental gymnastics from many of Venat's more...enthusiastic supporters declare that she had no choice despite, in some cases, spending years insisting that there was never a good excuse for genocide no matter how sympathetic the motive or backstory.
