Rewritten MSQ - Garlemald and EW

[redheadturk]

I feel some people are forgetting the whole "time aspect" when judging Venats actions. Because of our time traveling we basically created a time paradox.

The reason for us, the WoL, to appear at this moment was all because stuff happened exactly the way it was supposed to happen.
Also even Venat and WoL escaping from the memory wipe was all because of everything that happened before and led us to Elpis.

This means that Venat HAD to ensure that everything will happen the same way, so we end up in Elpis again.
Anything else might have led to a situation which changes the timelines in a way that we might not even appear in Elpis, which in the end would have led to a situation where Venats memory would have also been wiped for example.

I mean if I were in a situation where some time traveller warns me about terrible things happening in the past I propably would also ensure that everything happens the way it is supposed to happen.

But I also kind of understand why people might not like her reasoning.

@OP: You put a lot of effort into the story. I like it. On the other hand I am also not in favor of characterizing Venat as the villain.

I say bring on the split timeline, tbh. No, I do not care if it creates a paradox, it's already been shown that paradoxes lead to timeline splits in XIV, and that is what I want. A timeline in which the sundering never happens.
