About the cutscene at the end of 5.2's dungeon

Another interesting theory I've come up with is that the WoL's original soul was possibly Venat's successor.

Imagine, the assumed friend of Emet and Hythlodaeus--us--initially joined sides with Venat and was to be her successor. However, like you said, inevitably chose to defect from both convocations and instead chose their own path while possibly being Venat's, let's say student, originally.

If not us, Venat very well may have been the 14th and us a simple friend of Emet and Hythlodaeus who followed their teacher only to discern for themself that neither side was in the right.

Orrrr... We were the 14th, defected, chose the side that we originally hoped was right, but upon the sacrificing of many, instead of becoming a successor became and independent.
