"You have reached Solus zos Galvus. I fear I am unavailable at the moment, but should your query be of an urgent nature, pray leave a message. I shall endeavor to return it anon."
We made Lord Zodiark to give our star a will—a will in which it had previously lacked. By personifying it in such a manner, with a will that we tailor-made to keep order, it would serve to preserve us all and keep such chaos and terror irrevocably at bay.
Had we the luxury of time to sit about and ponder every unimaginable way this summoning could go awry, we certainly would. In fact, that was indeed a favorite pastime of my people, philosophy of all regards was the lifeblood of Amaurot. However, we simply did not have time. Ironic, is it not? That my people whom have ever benefited from having arguably too much time, was then found without it.
Nevertheless, from all we knew as fact at the time, it was a nigh flawless plan. Only one was opposed to it in the beginning, however he likewise did not offer an alternative solution. Thus, we had no choice but to continue apace, lest we ensured our demise.

[Well that certainly explains why he's also so quick to rush into debating him.]
I can see what inspired it to temper you and yours, now. What better way to maintain order than to make sure none of his subjects could even entertain the notion of disobedience towards him?
[Yep. He loves debate. Was quite the frequenter at the Hall of Rhetoric, in fact!]
Ah, but tempering is not a quality unique to Him and Him alone. It is, in fact, a facet of all primals. Hydaelyn included. We lacked such knowledge due to the fact naught in existence could hold power or sway over us. For our very mind and soul were far too adamant, our will seemingly unbreakable. There was no data on such a concept, nor a means to collect it.
But if Zodiark is the original primal, wouldn't it be true that others were all based on him, at least in part? His existence serves as a possible template to inform other primals how to behave and source their required energy.
Ah, you are under the impression that primals can communicate with one another in some measure that is unique to them, this is not quite the case. They are not connected in any way, and what knowledge the mortal races have about summoning primals, well...
They only know what we Ascians have personally taught them.
