Molaesmyr, or "Why wiping out a city is okay if you're me", by Ludinus Da'leth.
I was waiting for a drop like that, to be honest. To find out that Ludinus has already done what was, for the gods, their darkest moment, and for him it was Tuesday.
The gods destroyed Aeor because Aeor was pointing a gun at their heads, for them it was self-defence and they still tried to find other options first. Ludinus destroyed Molaesmyr to try and reach the moon, and wrote it off as an acceptable loss.
And the thing is, the people of Molaesmyr were just as, if not more helpless against Ludinus than Aeor was against the gods! Aeor had a god-killing weapon in their basement that they were gearing up to use! And when the gods did attack Aeor, they had to do so in mortal form, which rendered them much weaker. For the first half of the battle in the Factorum Malleus, Aeor is winning, the gods are losing HP and falling to bad saving throws and getting interrupted at every turn. It's only once SILAHA gets free of the stun and manages to drop his Meteor Swarm on the wards that the tide turns.
There was no such chance for Molaesmyr. They probably didn't even know what he was doing until he'd already exploded their homes. They weren't pointing a gun at him. They were just in the way.
But it's okay when Ludinus has vastly more power than anyone else and throws their lives away to achieve his goals.
I think gods like the Dawnfather, the Everlight, the Arch Heart, the Lawbearer, the Knowing Mistress, and the Matron of Ravens care vastly more about the mortals that Ludinus claims to champion than he does. I think it broke their hearts to kill as many as they did, while for Ludinus, it was easy.

Ioun: "The only way to protect this world is to step away from it and seal the door behind us."
The Matron: "This is the only home I've ever known."
Melora: "This was ours. We, we... no! No!"
Erathis: "Look how far they came, my love. They almost overtook us by force."
The Matron: "If we do this it protects them from the others as well."
Pelor: "We protect them."
Erathis: "Do we? Look at what you've wrought, Dawnfather."
The Matron: "I have ushered many souls this day."
Erathis: "We killed them for being good. My heart is tired."

I think it's telling that even though Erathis is saying she's caught between a lot of wrong choices and she cannot break an oath, she's still doing something. She's not just sitting there in analysis paralysis; she's made a considered choice that satisfied her principles and still makes an effort to help in another way, and she communicates her intentions effectively. Even as she has too many conflicting vows, she knows there's no love in faltering. The implication that she's the one to suggest the Divergence is very interesting.

Really intrigued to learn what Erathis is up to. The imbalance between nature and civilization hurts both domains. She sent an emissary after promising to come herself. For strategic reasons, to do something that she foresees she cannot do herself? Or out of necessity, as she is no longer in a state to participate directly? Civilization is mostly in a state of ruin, and Aeor is stripping those remains for expendable labor and spare parts. Erathis is at least as unwell as Melora.
Not that I think the version of Melora we are seeing is unusual. Nature has always included predation and parasitism and destruction. Nature is not just the gentle and pretty parts. It contains a lot of horrific aspects. But Taliesin says she looks really unhealthy and like she has lived a very hard life. That part, she’s in a bad state right now.
