This is 100% wild speculation, but I think the reason why the Dimensional Key has Azem's symbol on it is not because it belonged to them, but because they put a protective/regulatory spell on it which flashed in the presence of Azem's duty finder spell probably like when a Convocation symbol flashes over an Ascian's face. So why would Azem have to put a protective seal on it? Encased in the key is a twisted white rock. Auracite. Sphene did say it 'responds to fervent desire.'
We know from Pandaemonium that even the Ancients have been bumping into bits of Auracite like The Heart of Sabik. Another spooky thought is we don't know which Azem put it there assuming it is a seal. Where my imagination is running is that dealing with these bits of Auracite, and where they're coming from, and their consequences has been a kind of thorn in the side for anyone who has held the seat of Azem. It's why the Last Azem knew to to reach out to us to deal with the stuff going on in Pandaemonium. Venat had to deal with it, the Last Azem had to deal with, and now it is the Warrior of Light's turn to inherit that burden. How cool would it be if our next grand adventure culminates in us defeating actual Ultima.
I am so looking forward to the Pandaemonium follow up quest!
