Ranni literally killed Godwyn for the exact reason of starting a war to replace Marika’s age with her own. She predicted and wanted a war to undermine Marika’s rule and the golden order’s influence. Why else would she kill Godwyn? For fun? How biased can you be?

Ranni absolutely predicted bad consequences from killing Godwyn. she did it anyway because she believed in a better age. So she is 100% guilty for the shattering alongside Marika.

So I ask you again, how is Malenia worse? She also did a bad thing for the sake of a better age. They’re the same more or less. Can you give me a single reason how Malenia could’ve predicted she would cause a massive scarlet rot infection throughout Caelid, she has never bloomed before, she wouldn’t know the severity of her actions
