Question about dragons etc.

The way I saw it, the Heretics believed that the only way to ensure a lasting peace was for one side to defeat the other. The question remains, then, as to which side is deserving of victory. Knowing the true history of the war with the dragons, the Heretics would know that Ishgard was DECIDEDLY in the wrong - King Thordan committed a HORRIFIC crime against the dragons, and then his people hid the fact and blamed the dragons for the resulting conflict. So, the Heretics wanted the dragons to win the war, even if it meant wiping out Ishgard.

What the Heretics did not understand is that Nidhogg did not WANT to win the war. He wanted to torture Ishgard indefinitely. This was the awful truth that Ysayle began to discover when the dragons savaged the Brume, and learned decisively during our travels with her.

I still don't think that dragons die of old age - but they do die of other causes that may take a long time to complete, such as disease or injury. Dragons that are seriously ill or grievously injured come to Mourn. The lucky among them manage to recover - but for those that do not, they are now conveniently located in what serves as the dragons' graveyard.
