Garuda lore mishap?

[godwin]

Yeah, and the proof is in his rotting corpse that 15 years later is still entwined around the wreckage of the Agrius in Silvertear Lake where it crashed in 1562 6AE. He hasn't come back to life since.

Compare that to Primals who are immortal beings from the aether, whom can be endlessly resummoned to life no matter how many times they fall, and technically have no body, at least, not a proper living one. They are just an aetheric entity given corporeal form which then shatters. Midgardsormr did not have this ability, and was just a dragon, albeit an immensely powerful one, like the sea monster that attacked the ferry in the original 1.0 Limsa opening.

That was Leviathan

That was Leviathan

No, that is not Leviathan. It's a sea serpent.

It would be nice to have an echo of the Limsa 1.0 opening and establish that this IS NOT Leviathan, if only to try and do away with this misunderstanding...

Based on recent lore I have given a theory on Garuda herself. Perhaps Garuda was not always a Primal but a mortal creature be she man or bird there was a Primal that was a snake king by rights and Garuda whatever she was had some connection to the Twelve and by summoning a fraction of their power like Louisoix and the Circle of Knowing did eventually gained the power of a Primal and hence destroyed the Primal she was up against but as she was about to fade she then absorbed the aether from the snake Primal that she defeated and hence developed into the bloodthirsty Primal that she is now and by all means the Ixal knew of her and hence prayed for her return and then the Ascians show up as Paragons and taught them how to summon the Primal and so there you have it.

Well that was a sentence, after a fashion.

Hate to be part of the necro but there is specific infomation added that might change the status of midgardsormr

Ishigard was intent on sending troops into Mor Dhona to guard Midgardsormr due to fears of possible return to the living. Now the issue that comes with this comes from the fact we know the ascian's in some form are in on Ishigard's decisions much like they were with the garlean's. So I am unsure if this is a poly to get something out of the ship the guardian has claimed, or if it is even simpiler then aetheric rebirth. Like an egg that contains the breed of Dragon Midgardsormr for instance.
