Like most men, I've personally considered and rejected a robust variety of terrible acts. Who am I to judge for mere consideration?

Assuming the story backstory was drawn up with such fine detail, I expect the Dalamud-meteor project was a measured response to the possibility that Eorzea was harboring Allagan technology equal to or superior to the total might of the Empire itself, and was summarily rejected when it became apparent the city-states themselves had no such technology.

But it makes you wonder what Midgardsormr's vested interest in Silvertear falls was, beyond the religious hogwash associated with the event - having actually talked with the dragon, he does not appear particularly devout, with regards to the twelve; I'd call him aloof, actually. What was his motivation for stopping imperial incursion with his life? Was he neurolinked?
