Thread: 6.1 plothole?

Sorry about missing that you are in fact past 6.1, so I don't even have to remotely step around anything. I'm pretty used to people trying to bring things up the instant they see something amiss and not even giving the story room to add on to the point. (And yes, I'm aware that there's some hypocritical irony in me skipping over parts of the OP because of exactly that assumption.) There's clearly some ends to tie here, it's just that unlike you, I'm fairly sure that the knot does already exist somewhere on this.

I think there's an important thing to ask here, because as I see it, this is a pretty obvious element: Azdaja went through the same voidgate that we did, five thousand years earlier. It was closed and then reopened.

If the trip through a voidgate invariably needs a guiding agent, what was our guiding agent? You've apparently paid much closer recent attention to that raid than I have, so you probably have the answer more at-hand than I do. And unfortunately my usual memory-jogging technique of 'check Gamer Escape' isn't pulling up any results, since the exact terminology only got brought up in Endwalker, and I don't see a similar mention in the Crystal Tower story.
