Perhaps someone on the lore forums, maybe Anonymoose, could better answer these questions.
If you read what I wrote, my statement was that Midgardsormr was born of Hydaelyn, not Bahamut.
Upon re-reading my lore book, this is incorrect. Midgardsormr is a dragon that's powerful enough to survive in the aetheric vacuum of space and just showed up one day, from space. So this should be quite the narrative indicator of strength. How is mad-thoughts snake dragon equal to the power of his reborn and deified son that was fueled by two 'live' eyes, and not two recently dead and SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN DRAINED eyes?
