The Dravanians

[Lium]

A few problems:

-The dragons would probably just fly away from something like Black Rose.

-Dragons aren't attached to particular mortals. They are largely apathetic to the conflicts of man, and as such rarely intervene (Midgardsormr's unexpected rescue at Silvertear being the first, last, and only instance thus far).

-The Dravanian Horde (or at least Nidhogg's brood) could have wiped out Ishgard any time he wanted. Nidhogg's goal wasn't to destroy Ishgard, it was to make them suffer.

-We can't count on Midgardsormr for aid, as he used the last of his barely-recovered energy to break out and save the Warrior of Light when Omega trapped and tried to kill them in an attempt to awaken their latent power.

True on all accounts. But the Exarch's future looked so bleak, I feel like this would call the dragons to action because they themselves would be threatened. Wasn't it implied that after Black Rose was deployed, the land itself started killing all life? Something to do with the aether being removed from everything.

And yeah, I know Midgardsormr used the last of his strength to free the WoL from Omega, but I didn't know that was permanent. I just thought he needed to go back to sleep for a long while.
