Yggdra Union Wiki Project at Wikia, Help us make an accurate plot analysis for Yggdra Union! Options

First of all, this is a plot analysis kinda deal, so there are spoilers everywhere. Unless you've either already played the game or don't mind having the plot completely spoiled for you, then stay away. This is a project for people who just can't get enough of the world of Yggdra Union.

The wiki is here:

I hope to see this wiki become a general Yggdra Union information resource like one sees elsewhere on Wikia. Let's work together to give precious closure to everyone who may have found themselves perplexed by the game's unusually deep themes.

Emelone: That child, Ishiene... Her only wish, as she told me... "I will save
you... and everyone!"
Milanor: Ishiene... You mean the one we just...?
Emelone: She was a kind girl who thought of nothing but her own people. She is
not the only one. I cannot let such people perish... I would be unjust.

Emelone: ...Ahhh...! Princess Yggdra... We have injured so many humans... All...
for what...?
Yggdra: But, you and the Undines are not at fault!
Emelone: Haha... You are so kind... So quick to forgive... Do not... let your
kindness become a weakness... The weak are the first to perish... We are fated
to die... As their queen... I shall lead the way...


Who was weak? On the one hand, one could argue that it was nessiah who took advantage; but do we have any evidence that he is who she was referring to? In the end, she gave Ishiene's death as her justification for fighting to the death. The connection is clear: Ishiene held sway over her, Ishiene was the real power behind the throne. She was dominated by Ishiene and could not stray from the path Inshiene shaped for the Undines. This is her weakness, her decisive flaw; otherwise, she would have accepted peace and survived.

And observe: Ishiene's flaw is plain. By thinking of nothing save her own people, her social bonds are completely ethnocentric. She is in substance a racist.
