He nods, if not inwardly confident if there wasn't more to the story, but -- wasn't that basically it?
"Yevon -- or Yu Yevon, he wasn't around after Sin was. He's the guy who summoned Sin, but it fried his brain, and he was stuck inside Sin - bringing it back, re-summoning, all that. I guess they just called the teachings the teachings of Yevon because..."
He pauses in thought, then shakes his head. "Actually... I don't know why. The place where the Maesters live, Bevelle -- those were the guys who Zanarkand and Yevon were fighting in the war. The war that had Yevon summon Sin."
He folds his arm, mouth tilting.
"It was a whole mess. I don't know how many people it at the start: a lot of machina still runs in Bevelle. Nobody was willing to try anything different, anyway - plus, if the teachings turned out to be wrong... no more power for the guys at the top."
It was the ugly truth he remembered as he spoke. The head of the Maesters running to the farplane the second the option of sacrificing summoners was permanently off the table.
