The Ascians were dangerous and caused no end of trouble for the Source and its reflections. But they weren’t always driven by despair and malice. Today we’ll address every single seat in the Convocation and understand who they were before the fall of Ancient civilization!

Forgive me, but are the seats not ordered by their placement in the Zodiac? And the game itself does list certain seat orders for specific ones in the MSQ?
Out of all of your videos this is one of the topics I have looked forward to the most. It did not disappoint. Well done my friend.
I hear a fun drinking game for those that had to log the Convoations meetings was to take a drink every time Azem did something unintentionally or otherwise to interrupt the meeting for fun or other reasons… This practice was unfortunately banned due to Emet finding out about the practice and banning it…
Thanx for making this
Now that you mentioned what every seat does,
i found a poetic irony how each major acian and Venat gone against their own respective role in some ways
Venat (Azem) sacrificed her whole being and basically her freedom to roam the realm in order to save it
Emet Selch wanted his brethren back
Lahabrea pushed tempering and advancement in order to sow chaos
Elidibus's mind was clouded, and he was very biased for their goal
The current Fandaniel wanted to oberve all life perish
Very well-presented! Thank you for completing and sharing this.
Our travels and studies have left me with a strong bias towards Azem and Elidibus, but I feel that might be too obvious. The Seat of Pashtarot speaks to me, as someone who seeks to embody my chosen code of ethics as well as I can. Being a mediator among friends who might find themselves disagreeing is also very appealing to me, and so I could see myself apprenticed to Pashtarot or Igeyorhm in the right circumstances.
I imagine Azems just pick up a stray and teach them.
So, do you think there was ever a way to vote someone off of the convocation? Like, it'd rarely be brought up but still in place.
I wonder who would win if Azem and Nabriales unsundered form had a fight, obviously Azems unsundered form is strong af because Hydaelyn is said to be really strong and we kicked her ass even while sundered but if Nabriales is literally the council member for fighting then Nabriales is probably the strongest 14 member in combat
Question. Is it true Azem also wore a different colored mask than the other convocation members?
I'd love to hear a new video on The Twelve Gods of Eorzea!
I feel Azem would be my best fit, seeing new sights, peicing together puzzles for hidden knowledge and just gathering wisdom and experience in general that could be used to put people at ease or offer a helping hand/ear when stuck or hard pressed to find meaning. assuming I didn't miss interpret they seats meaning ofc 😅
It would be interesting to compare which seats Venat replaced with the gods she created. Hydealyn replacing Elidibus or Oschon replacing Azem for example
