Correct! You are so uncannily close to the truth!

Those sly Legacy players, hiding such vital information... disgraceful.

Maybe levequests will be important again!

Sounds more like a nightmare than a dream.

The dragons where brought to Hydaelyn - Source Edition™ by Midgardsormr. Since Midgardsormer is the progenitor of dragons, arrived after the split, and also brought his first brood with him, I think it's save to say that dragons do not exist on the First or any other Shard, but only on the Source. Therefore, Arbert cannot have encountered an evil Hraelsvelgr, since Hraelsvelgr doesn't exist in his world at all. And neither should any other dragon.

If there are dragon-like beings on the 1st, then they are most likely evolved scalekin rather than the intelligent aliens that we know of.

Anonymoose is right. These are just homage to past designs. I too was glad that I was able to see the guy again and now in game. But to say that the opening cutscene in 1.0 is the First, thats untrue. The trailer of SHB alone says WOL/WOD is in the source.
