It would be one thing if the Endless were an aspect of life that could live on their own independently. But they are people who have already lived once before and then died and were given an artificial afterlife separated from the living after being deleted from the memories of the living. On top of that, they are chained to terminals that manifest them into existence at the cost of living aether taken from others, willingly or not.

It became our problem and our call to make when our world was invaded by Sphene with the intention of plundering the souls of our innocents to power her graveyard that the actual living Alexandrians barely knew existed. A lot of people seem to be oddly hung up on us deleting a bunch of people who already lived and died and are then returned to the natural cycle.

This is all on Sphene for making the decisions she took, not the WoL for having to shut the system down. Instead of accepting the situation of aether running out for the Endless, she couldn’t let go and took the drastic action of moving her entire people here and killing the locals. Instead of trying to find new solutions like a lot of people on the forums suggested WE make, SHE was the one with the time to figure something else out and in the end came up with what we got, obviously not anticipating the protagonist of an RPG being on the other side of the rift to protect their world. She and the innocent Endless ended up paying for that decision.

As well as that, now the living Alexandrians are forever separated from their world of origin and stuck somewhere else unknown to them.
