The Final Chorus

[Anonymoose]

The first thought I had was that Hraesvelgr's brood would be forced to pick a side after the attack on Vidofnir. Pretty powerful scene in your head, right? Dragoon and dragon on the same side? Horde against horde? On one hand, suddenly you have Ishgardians doing what they do best instead of denying who they are, and for the first time ever, for a real cause. They'd basically be fighting directly for the right to peace, and forging bonds with the dragons to do so - the exact opposite of the last thousand years.

On the other hand, that's rather predictable... and clean... and convenient... but maybe that's what we need to get past this. The war thus far was anything but and there's no reason to keep dragging it out. Everyone knows the catalyst for improving relations needs to come from somewhere. Suddenly everything works if this is the case.

Aside from the fact that... can we really afford to solve this problem by killing yet another Celestial Dragon?

Or do we write Nidhogg off as a lost cause, dead as long as Ratatoskr in all the ways that matter?

Leaves the door open to try to save Estinihogg, at least.
