I've always found it a little weird that the Castrums named for directions in Eorzea (ie other than Castrums Abania, Marinum, and Solus) were based on Eorzean directions. From the viewpoint of Garlemald up until the Seventh Umbral Era, Castrum Oriens was the second-most western castrum they had, after Castrum Novum. I suppose they considered it "east of Castrum Novum"?
The rest of your post is pretty valid, and makes plausible sense. I'm curious why nobody even mentions van Darnus's involvement in Castellum Corvi, considering Nael's notoriety among Eorzeans.

All aether is made up of six elements of varying strengths, weaknesses, conquers, and submissions.
All elements are polarized between astral and umbral poles or states, activity and passivity, kinetic vs potential.
Some elements are more naturally aspected towards one polarity than the other.
The manipulation of any of these elemental or polar aspects is called magic.
Minor question: for unaspected aether (or spells), would they be aspected towards all elements, or no elements? (Arcanist and Astrologian spells come to mind.)
