Questiona about Mother Hydaelyn

[treuhavik]

While all of these various theories are very interesting, there are a few flaws in them I feel I should point out.

lol Any theory you read of mine is 90% likely to be complete BS. I let my imagination get the better of me more often than not.

However, we're actually never told if beastmen, dragon races included, are considered "men". What we do know is that some primals were created before man, perhaps during the time beasts became sentient, and others (Shiva) were created after.

When it comes to Hydealyn, Zodiark and the Twelve, I can't help but think of Greek Mythology...

It begins with Chaos, a yawning nothingness (FFXIV "Ascian Balance"). Out of the void emerged Gaia (the Earth [FFXIV Hydealyn]) and some other primary divine beings: Eros (Love), the Abyss (the Tartarus), and the Erebus. Without male assistance, Gaia gave birth to Uranus (the Sky [FFXIV Zodiark]) who then fertilized her. From that union were born first the Titans—six males: Coeus, Crius, Cronus, Hyperion, Iapetus, and Oceanus; and six females: Mnemosyne, Phoebe, Rhea, Theia, Themis, and Tethys (= 12). After Cronus was born, Gaia and Uranus decreed no more Titans were to be born. They were followed by the one-eyed Cyclopes and the Hecatonchires or Hundred-Handed Ones, who were both thrown into Tartarus by Uranus. This made Gaia furious (Que the power struggle between Hydealyn and Zodiark).
