So? To everybody else, it was an ex-mystic conquering all of Vithela.

But that's the whole point. The Otherworlds collapsing etc. is the Great Darkness which the Vithelans didn't remember because of their enlightened viewpoint as I pointed out before.

Why should it be? The Malkioni didn't notice Stormfall because they had other things to worry about. Yet nobody suggests that the Malkioni and Genertelan cosmoses were disconnected. So I fail to see why the Vithelan events should be any different.
