[SPOILERS] Revelations from Patch 3.3

[Laili]

My speculation on the fate of Nidhogg's Eyes:

The WoD are going to give them to Ilberd to use as batteries for Omega to drive the Garleans out of Ala Mhigo. That particular plot thread has been conspicuously absent since 3.0 and surprise surprise we find our boy Eli and friends skulking about the East Shroud around the same time.

Building on this from earlier:

Nidhogg's eyes being used in this manner to power Omega is what pulls Shinryu in to oppose him. He's not about to let this madman use his deceased brother's power in this manner after all (going on the assumption that if Shinryu is in XIV and that he'd be of the First Brood of course)

Well, this is just my personal speculation, but...

As I explained above Omega is still a scrap heap buried in Cartenau; excavating, refurbishing, and fueling it are all beyond the means of Ilberd.

I'm also quite confident the Eyes are gone from the narrative, along with any potential uses and plot threads tied to them.

Either way, I'm pretty sure we're done with dragons for now (I know I'm sick of them; the Magic block that came out around the same time as Heavensward was dragons too, and it's been nothing but dragons aside from resolving 2.55 since...) and going to move on to, more likely than not, the Garleans.

And in response to that...

Such a thing is certainly beyond Ilberd's means alone, but with Ascian backing? And did you not see the stinger at the end of 3.3? Paladin of Darkness certainly isn't reporting to Elidybus about the depth of the chasm around Ishgard that's for sure.
