I have to agree, I even would go as far to say killing the twelve was highly unnecessary given the established circumstances. The fact the four lords conceptually are similar to the twelve being deities that were once just considered ordinary beings. Yet for some reason the twelve need to die to accomplish their goal. Deryk simply revived using a small bit of aether, so the fact the other 11 also couldn’t do that feels ver forced. Worse part is how it almost feels like the twelve don’t feel like our friendship with them was meaningful enough to not kill themselves. There’s something about their choice that feels so absolutely unnecessary that it only left me angry and unfulfilled. I want them to make a follow up quest that just retcons this ending because the twelve shouldn’t have died in the first place.
