Now that I'm rewatching the cutscene for Seer Folly, what happens is that the soul crystal flies out of the tree and into your hands, and she interprets that more or less immediately as A-Towa-Cant selecting you as his successor. After commenting that she doesn't know why that would be, then noting that the Quieting needs to be performed by three White Mages, she then goes on to say, in response to A-Ruhn-Senna's complaint about the knowledge being given to someone not of the Padjali:
"And so you would uphold tradition merely for tradition's sake? Even at the risk of incurring the great one's wrath and bringing disaster upon our forest home?"
IMO, the cutscene's a bit more nuanced and offers some opportunities to made generic while still keeping with the general theme (A-Towa-Cant might select multiple successors, for instance, or other Padjal might be more liberal on the concept of "disaster," viewing one or more of the various threats as justification to break with tradition).
