I would definitely say that Venat won, because her(?) goal was to help hume scientists develop manufacted nethicite, which appears more stable and usable/reusable than the rare, legendary deifacted nethicite. When nethicite can be manufactured, its power can be harnessed by (theoretically) anyone, and nethicite is no longer a rare nuclear deterrent powerful relic held only by Raithwall's lineage.

I don't think Venat cared who was in charge in the end, but only that there exists a known process for manufacturing nethicite. Venat & Dr. Cid wanted to put humekind in control of their own history (free will?) by giving them a source of power/energy they could manufacture. Related, the sage knowledge entry about Draklor mentions "great strides being made in the manufacting of magicite and improved methods of drawing energy from the stones." There were a few indications in game that oil and solid fuel had been the primary energy source for creating electricity, but that electrical motors have mostly fallen out of use and have been replaced by magic-based energy via artificially condense mist.

So, Venat is trying to create a level playing field for everyone with a stable form of industrial-quality nethicite, rather than let the other Occuria determine who will act as a ruling power (who gets to stockpile the unstable nuclear nethicite bombs).


...Still, it doesn't really answer any questions about Occurian influence beyond nethicite. Those Occuria sure looked powerful to me!

And what happened to Venat after the 3rd battle with Vayne???
