CanisMythson: My thought... Just because Zodiark is gone, doesn't mean the Ascian's long-form plans to cause Rejoinings aren't still in place. Maybe they're without the guidance they would have had; and maybe they don't need it. That's what scares me, that there's shards out there prepped for a rejoining and it'll occur once a calamity happens on the Source.
thecivilmerc9898: Yeah I'm over here wanting more info and story about Azem
andyoh1987: since we have, what, three-four(?) unaccounted ascians, it wouldn’t surprise me if we haven’t completely stopped seeing them.
based on what we know at the end of the current msq, i do think we will be visiting other reflections. and whether we meet the ascians there or not, could be a possibility.
25xxfrostxx: I'd like to see a surviving Ascian show up in a more supportive role. Their mission is over and now they have to decide what they want their role in the universe to be. Maybe we actually manage to make a lot of progress repairing the first or 13th and an ascian approaches us because at the time of Zodiark being killed they were in the process of shifting another world to prepare a calamity and now that it's over, the ask us to help fix the world that no longer has a rejoining coming. It would have a lot of story potential to have one in a more friendly role.
frbny88: I LOVE the ascians so I will never complain if there’s more content with them
dinnyskips: IM NERVOUS at the idea that there's not going to be another overarching narrative and that the future of the game is just going to be a lot of self-contained stories. Very nervous.
yuina88: Dawntrail left such a poor taste in the mouth I don't really care where they going to bring the story forward to
Lyn685: I'm glad that they haven't forgotten about the remaining Ascians, and I hope they include them in a smart and interesting way.
shadeblackwolf1508: So we killed the unsundered. Of the 10 remaining, we killed 1 in Moenbrieda's sacrefice, one was eaten by primal in heavensward msq, 1 is struck in Eureka, 1 is stuck in eden, gaia is our friend, and occupying her seat, and Fandaniel suicided. That's 4 unaccounted for. Alexandria's story also reeks of Ascian plots that have been set up and yet to unravel. However, what this tally does not account for is that unsundered can ascend other shards of the soul to the seats. That means that the first 2 on the list are not nessesarily off the board.
mrdantebloodwolfe5979: We did meet friendly ascians like gaia, who knows we might actually meet more that deflected from the cause, and end up being allies to us in the future.

Maybe in the end, the rejoining of shards already lost was not as large scale as people though, and people from that shard had the technology of space travel, and end up colonizing space long time ago before the source ever did, they probably colonized before their homeworld was destoried by the re-joining efforts.

There so much predictions we could make up for future content.
Seedmember: I haven't gotten into Dawntrail yet, since I don't have time for a mmo currently, but players theorised a long time ago that we might at sometime visit the Crystal Exarch's version of the Source.
It would make sense to see Ascians there, still doing their thing.
