Is there not a battle in 3.0 titled "Wyrmking vs. Thordan and his Knights Twelve" and is Midgarsormr not the Wyrmking?

Midgardsormr is most certainly a wyrm king, but is he the Wyrmking?

Yoshi-p dropped a few bombs last week revealing that both Midgardsormr and Nidhogg were not primals, but dragon ‘kings.’

In 1.0, there was a location called Wyrmking's Perch in Northwest Coerthas. I'm not saying it's not impossible that it was named for Midgardsormr, but he lived a region over, unseen and allegedly sleeping in a lake, tasked with protecting Silvertear Falls for gods know how long, whereas Nidhogg personally set Ishgard on fire eight times.

Of course, if there's two dragon kings, there's probably more. What of Fafnir? Vrtra? Tiamat? Ouryu? SE could pull any of them out, really.

I won't be counting those puk before they hatch.

A case can be made for Nidhogg but, afaik, we haven't heard anything about him coming back to life (out of hibernation)...yet.

Dragoon Story Arc

A premonition came to me by virtue of the dragon within, warning me that the great wyrm would soon rouse. Even as he slumbered, Nidhogg seethed with irrepressible rancor for that wound of twenty years ago. That rancor will send him flying as a speeding arrow to Ishgard, whereupon death and devastation will ensue. But there is a possible solution: were the Eye taken to a remote land, far from the Holy See—then, and only then, could destruction be averted and the lives of innocent Ishgardians be spared.

Death definitely doesn't mean too much in Eorzea, though one could argue that

Bahamut, first of the Meracydian brood, didn't truly return any more than Good King Moggle Mog XII did, whereas these dragons look to be quite legitimately living scalekin

On the other hand, the dragons seen in the Heavensward trailer are of the same species that Midgardsormr summoned from Dravania for the Battle of Silvertear Skies, and we've never seen them in any other capacity, yet.
