Azim and Nhaama

[Lyth]

If you take the claim that they're 'not primals' at face value, then it's possible that various cultures derived their belief systems from encounters with the actual Twelve. In order for Ala Mhigo to attribute its foundation to the guidance of Rhalgr's star, they'd have to know that he actually had some connection to it. Likewise, perhaps Halone really did meet Thordan and tell him where to setup Ishgard.

If this is the case, then perhaps they had other interactions with various peoples as well. For example, perhaps Azeyma travelled to Othard and ended up being the inspiration for Azim. Likewise, I wonder if the Thavnarian 'old gods' had some connection to the Twelve as well. Their prayer, which we hear during the 6.0 MSQ, sounds very similar to a particular historical figure.

That prayer rang the Hydelean and things Dragons have said bell for me. Which I'm sure isn't mere coincidence.
