Midgardsormr's Sorrow [SPOILER]

"What?! Wars ending, no need for me to go outside and poke at the immortal flying monsters with a sharp stick? Awesome!"

I don't see the lowborn at least having to many problems with it.

"Uh.. Man you sure? This dude literally assaulted me and killed your sister.. You're not at least gonna make sure I don't die?" Lets be honest, it doesn't take a genius to realize someone would go out for revenge, and seeing as how there isn't any sort of cosmic police to put Ishgard to justice, it kinda falls on Nidhogg's hands. Even if Nidhogg didn't say outright he wanted revenge, Hraesvelgr knew what he wanted. I don't doubt Hraesveglr wasn't angry too, dudes are just killed your sister for power, then nearly killed your brother when he tried to get revenge and stole his source of power too, and this is all after your wife sacrificed herself to prevent more of that stuff relatively recently (For dragons anyways).

Probably, Ascians do almost everything. I mean, it tries to put the dragons in the right, but at the end of the day we end up killing more dragons left and right.. And people still want hurt/kill more dragons. You don't see that sort of animosity towards the three noble houses that were just as xenophobic or the Ishgardians who were totally fine with killing people on the charges of heresy (In the game or out of it really) you really only see people made at Thordan and his Knights Twelve of the later years and the modern day.

It's kinda like going "Look these guys were right and we were lying and did plenty of bad things, but go kill a couple dozen of them for us, kay? Also forget about that whole incident in Camp Dragonhead with the false inquisitor, too, we totally weren't fine with the witch hunts (Once the dude was proven to not actually come from the Holy See of course)."

Eeh.. That's kinda doubting the way a very theocratic society work with regards to class system. Religion can be a very soothing and existential thing for lots of people, especially poor people, suddenly telling all of them that they all suffered for naught (Which includes the dragons were attacking them for kind of reasonable reasons), it might make them cast their faith aside all together and start making their own moral choices, might drive them to despair, or who knows, they might opt for the whole "That's a bunch of lies and trickery! My faith is absolute for Halone and Ishgard!". The first option of those three kinda are what basically the Heretics of modern day where made up of

Basically what the game is all about now being "It is the Ascian's fault". I won't be surprised if the World of FF14 started because the Ascians planned for its creation before the first era to pave the way for their god.
