Primal Predictions for 3.0

[Sholah]

Indeed it seems the dragon in the Heavensward logo is truly Midgardsormr after all.

He is not a primal though as he left a corpse when he died whilst primals merely return to aether. He is a mortal dragon, though it seems he can and will be resurrected somehow. I would imagine he has an echo to share with us before he returns to rampage against Ishgard (based on what Iceheart told us).

Shiva was also a mortal who returned to the aether. They'll revive Midgardsormr through the same loophole Shiva was revived. Worship and crystals to make him a Primal.

The primal Shiva isn't actually 'Saint Shiva' though. It's noted a few times that Iceheart still had full control of her body after the summoning (so she was basically just wielding a weapon) and since Saint Shiva was a regular mortal the form the primal took clearly wasn't her either. The primal Iceheart summoned was no different to Moggle Mog in reality; a myth made manifest, though in this case the myth was based on a real person.

The situation with Midgardsormr is different. The Ishgardians don't fear him being summoned, they fear him being resurrected.

It's possible they could summon a primal version of Midgardsormr but then the Dravanians would have no need of his old corpse in silvertear...
