#and now Evandrin's stuck in the Celestial plane forever

[glossolali]

What struck me about Laerynn's reasons for wanting to plane shift Avalir (other than blind ambition and hubris) was what she kept saying towards the end of the episode

"It has to be worth it"

Because it has to be worth it to have effectively ended Evandrin's life and taken Zerxus' husband and Elias' father away from them

It has to be worth it that she ruined her marriage to Quay even though they still love each other

She can't go back now because if she does it'll all have been for nothing, all the loss, all the time and effort

And I think at the end, that emotion, that desperation, is what drove her to continue pursuing her goals till the very end, not that she wanted to plane shift the city that badly
