And it was that even while Empy was still alive and in charge.

No one in history may have had as much knowledge and power as Emps but I question the 'understanding' and there is no doubt that many of his decisions were far from optimal. Empy forgot the implicit truth that for all his powers and knowledge he was still but a man. I kind of suspect the Shamans forgot that too and transmitted their hubris to innocent Empy.
