And that's another thing that makes venat's choice to sunder etheirys even more confusing. The evidence she had at that point from the WoL's account of what was happening in the current timeline was that sundered people in thavnair were still unable to control dynamis and were turning into blasphemies left and right. After hearing that she still thought it was a good idea to sunder etheirys?

I've seen someone mention before that part of venat's reason for sundering etheirys was because she needed less aetherically dense beings who could use dynamis to kill meteion, but how is that a good decision if the WoL told her that after zodiark was destroyed in the current timeline a second final days started happening and people were turning into blasphemies? That's just a completely terrible gamble to make where the odds were stacked against her. The fact that her plan worked was sheer blind luck as well as a generous amount of help from the writers in the form of plot armor.
