MAJOR LORE QUESTION, COMIN' THROUGH:
Is tempering exclusive to primals, and if not, which entities are capable of it?
To phrase the question another way: are claims on an individual, a la Hydaelyn's Echo (and presumably Zodiark's equivalent), akin to tempering, given how they seem to interdict and prevent tempering?
My understanding has been that Hydaelyn and the primals are essentially claiming souls when they grant someone the Echo / temper them. Putting them under their respective umbrellas of protection/domination/whatever, so to speak. Hydaelyn, being the traditional "good/benevolent divine power", allows its Chosen to retain their free will, whereas the primals strip theirs of free will.
Is this right/wrong? There more to it? Are there any other powers/creatures we see in-game (Siren?) capable of this? Â
I ask because I'm looking to develop my RP character further, but I don't want to break any established lore in doing so.
