Halmarut's True Intention

[DRKoftheAzure]

Regardless, Halmarut wouldn't be tempered, because all Ascians besides the Unsundered actually died and were reborn as new people, and the reincarnation process would have scrubbed their souls clean of aetheric corruption even if it was there, it's the whole reason Fandaniel was able to go rogue, and he actively plotted to kill Zodiark.

Not that it would stop the Unsundered from tempering the Sundered over and over again...

In fact, I think that Fandaniel PROBABLY got killed, reincarnated, and tempered too many times, that he saw an opportunity to become truly one with Zodiark thanks to Fandaniels ego that was too big for his trousers... And ego DOES play some part in tempering process if I remember correctly...
