Free will may be intrinsic and necessary for the creation of great works, and if you so choose to never even touch the minds of your Embers then you are perfectly free to do so, but why should we limit ourselves. The mortals may have potential and the ability to become accomplished, but we are Gods we hold the power of the concepts that allowed their creation. Should they prove their worth, be it through power or art or any other of the infinite possibilities, then they may earn my respect and the right to live without the permissible interference of us. But until then I see no reason to not control my Ananke.
Of course, I have no wish to destroy us all. If I do something that I believe may have consequences beyond my control, then I will give out some sort of warning to everyone.
May I drop some of my Ananke upon the new planet? I wish to see what they'll do with some new stimuli.
