    I remember reading a theory a while back that the Amdaphori were deliberately creating Sin Eaters to counteract the Mhachi; anyone remember that big War of the Magi in the lore, between White and Black Mages, that nearly drained the Aether from the world? I remember reading once that the Black Mages made heavy usage of Voidsent; I could imagine that the White Mages would have been willing to take some risks to counteract the Voidsent... perhaps via the creation of some Aether-heavy creatures of their own? Just a theory I read, felt like posting.

    Anyway, I personally just hope that, if we do see some more Sin Eaters in the future, that we get some new designs or something for them. I mean, Voidsent have a variety of forms and abilities - the Shadow Queen is a bright white humanoid that uses light, after all - whereas the Sin Eaters all mostly just solid white reskins of previous enemies, that all just use light; even one of the Lightwardens was basically a reskin of Cerberus. If they come back, I'd like to see something new; give us a Sin Eater that uses darkness, for instance. I mean, the Warrior of Light primal that Eldibus turned into uses darkness, so why not a Sin Eater?

    Pretty much all of Mhach's story went over how they went hard into contracting voidsent later in the War of the Magi; it's brought up in Black Mage and the actual Mhach alliance raids most prominently. It's where Diabolos is from. Out of all three sides of the War of the Magi, Amdapor is the one we know the least about, basically only knowing their defensive measures against Diabolos and a single Nymian spy. Yeah, they probably did do some big shit we weren't aware of, but the only thing that even comes close to being considered proof is that Kuribu, the final boss of the City of Amdapor hard, is mentioned in the Encyclopedia Eorzea to be 'based on a creature from another plane'. Again, that can't really be from the First (unless they had Sin Eaters before the Flood, which isn't too implausible), but they were an extant phenomena, observed through unknown means by perhaps the biggest enigma of a civilization in the game.
