Auri and Ishgard, can we truly be allies?

[Belhi]

He used succubus but he also used beastlike. I wouldn't read too much into that.

For the record though we have had multiple clues already that the Au'Ra are indeed half Dravanian; the most obvious being the story of Shiva sleeping with a dragon at the same time we're introduced to a half-draconic race. Whilst it has still not been outright confirmed, saying 'nothing so far has indicated that' is completely false.

The Shiva connection really makes no sense. Shiva was an ishgardian meaning she is no older than Ishgard so probably not more than a couple of thousand years or so. That's a very short period of time for a race to multiply from a single relationship into two unique clans. Further, the only Au Ra we have met is from across the ocean meaning that the only known source of Au Ra would mean that any of these decedents of shiva would have had to travel to a completely different continent.
