The Wyrmking vs. Thordan

[treuhavik]

Though given Ishgard's shady nature and who they may or may not be harboring within their walls, I do wonder if the missing Eye and ensuing blood feud is not the only "sins" the rising chorus is preaching about.

I have a feeling the Ascians have had a finger in Ishgard since at least that first battle.

Reposting from another thread;

Could it be that someone empowered by Halone came to Thordan, converted him and his men from their previous religion, and guided them to the Holy See? Maybe once conflict between the Ishgardians and Dravanians began, this 'Saint' "betrayed" the people she had led by consorting with their new-found enemy.

What if the Dravanians aren't as bad as they're made out to be...?

What if Ishgard fell under Ascian influence not long after it was founded, and their Saint remained pure thanks to a certain divine gift, defecting to the side of lesser evil to put an end to a senseless war?

Thoughts?
