The succession of seats. Of shards. Of ideals... Of love. The Warrior of Light's soul could be considered heavy and clamorous if it did not give them a measure of peace as it has.

(SITS BOLT UPRIGHT)

THE WoL WENT THROUGH A REJOINING ON A PERSONAL SCALE

The Exarch explains the mechanics behind the Rejoinings. That the balance of Aether in the Source versus the Shards is tipped until the Source is strained to the breaking point, and at last fractures in the fabric of reality allow the properly aspected Shard to join with the Source to rebalance the scales. That the overwhelming aetheric shift from the Shard being absorbed - Rejoined - is what causes the Calamities, and why each has a given aetheric aspect.

The WoL has been absorbing all the Primordial Light of the Lightwardens, and after Innocence, Ryne says that not only the WoL's body is breaking down. Their soul is fracturing. She uses the Blessing of Light to quell it and hold them together as much as she can, but the damage hasn't been undone.

That takes Ardbert. The WoL's shard, at the last, sees the WoL breaking, and rushes to fill in the cracks. To restore balance. And yes, the Primordial Light is spent - needs to spent - in defeating Hades, but it's Ardbert rushing in to fill in the gaps left in the WoL that mends them.

Y'shtola and Ryne note, after the fight, that WoL is mended. They doesn't understand how it happened, though they're relieved.

The WoL is the microcosmos in the macrocosmos. Mended just as the Source is with every Rejoining. And the devastation wrought on Hades their personal calamity.

The WoL went through a rejoining so the Source didn't have to.

Ardbert clearly having the time of his life (in spite of complaining that Thancred is not being very sporting)

#or time of his death to be technically correct #I have had a theory that of the 3 WoL dialogue options at conversation branches #The first option is the most 'ardbert' and the bottom is the most 'fray'#that's ardbert while he was alive of course #the point is #ardbert seeks the pleasure of fighting for its own sake and no other reason #lamitt doing the silent callout because they have Serious Business #there is a LOT going on in this entire cutscene #I always forget Thancred fought in-his-prime-Ardbert #ffxiv #ffxiv spoilers #heavensward #ffxiv: heavensward #ffxivedit #gamingedit #lamitt #ardbert #thancred #thancred waters

The bond that develops between Ardbert and the WoL makes me so emotional. After everything that happened in Post-HW, him becoming one of our closest confidants feels...poetic, kind of. Despite everything, the WoL and Ardbert learn to rely on one another in a way that's different from how the WoL relies on the Scions. He understands them on a level that the others struggle with because at one point, he was in their shoes. He was also a Warrior of Light, no matter how long ago it was, he was a hero of his own world.

Watching as they open up with one another more is so good in my opinion. And yet seeing them become friends despite knowing it won't last forever also makes me sad. They tease him, he teases back. They have heart to hearts with him, he lets himself be vulnerable with them and the WoL does the same. It's sweet and yet they both know that eventually, he will be gone and they won't have him at their side anymore. The shade who's become a dear friend to them will be gone and it'll just be them again. Yes, they still have the Scions, but it's different.

It's sad.

Everyone has lost something precious.

Everyone here has lost homes, dreams, and friends...

Working together, now we can make

new homes for ourselves, and new dreams.

Although I know the journey will be hard, we have lots of time.

The road is ahead of us, so let's start out today.

Just, one more thing…

...The people and the friends that we have lost,

or the dreams that have faded…

Never forget them.
