A fair amount of Asian dragons have fur.

I will name him fluffy, and he will be my BEST friend.

...until I have to put him down for biting the neighbors kid.

R.I.P. Fluffy.


EDIT: Real Talk -

I hate speculating about the plot like this, because I'm usually right or very close on the mark. But here goes...

You're pretty close, I'd say. Even the order in which most events happen seems probable.

However, I think it'll start a bit different than you describe. At the end of 2.3 we see Elidibus behind the throne, presumably gettin' all up in Archy B's ear. Elidibus wants the WoL to become stronger and, having expended Icehearts primal value against us, makes one final use of her. Being inside the See, Elidibus is privy to certain details and from there, he delegates to have the heretic leader deactivate the magick barrier protecting Ishgard.

Aymeric is already working to establish relations between Ishgard and the scions, an attack or lack of protection won't cause it's hastening. No, I believe after the scions are framed for someone's demise and escape Ul'dah, the surviving members, finding even their position in Mor Dhona unsafe, will make for their friend in the north one by one.

The Dravanian attack, which will catch Ishgard completely Off-gard (see what I did there?), and the WoL's arrival will seem completely coincidental to both the city-state and the player. Of course, this happenstance will eventually prove to be Elidibus' sagacious scheming.
