Sex between the Races Lore?

[kujoestars]

The fact remains that neither the Allagans nor the dragons have been to the First. While the Allagans did portal their way to a different shard, there's no evidence they did so with the First and none of the other Allagan creations exist there. There are no Ixal, Ananta, chimera, etc. An au ra in Ishgard vehemently denies being related to dragons at all and the lorebook explicitly denies a connection.

Maybe I’m getting ahead of myself, but the First has an iteration of the Crystal Tower, yes? Because of alternate timeline shenanigans. I still need to actually see for myself, but the fact it’s there leaves the possibility. Maybe not as likely, but there given the non-linear nature of time between Shards.

Also, unless there is another Au Ra in Ishgard who isn’t Sidurgu, you’re flat out wrong on that . Sid never “vehemently denied” relation to dragons; only angrily described the reason his family was slaughtered. He really had nothing against dragons at all and I doubt he knows himself if there’s relation or not (though obviously he’d have to deny it to avoid being murdered like his family regardless). The lorebook entry on Au Ra is also straight up word-for-word the Character Creation description, which just says it’s debateable, so it doesn’t “explicitly confirm” there’s no connection. EDIT: I checked the pages I found again and actually it straight up says NOTHING about their ancestry besides the Azim/Nhaama thing. That’s an even bigger strike against your claim. :|


A point I somehow forgot to mention before is that if you look at the wall on the exterior of the Dawn Thrown, the carving of Azim’s face looks VERY draconic because aside from the obvious Auri horns, the face is distinctly muzzled like a stylized version of some dragons’ faces. I don’t have the screenshot on my current device, but it stood out for me enough when i got to that cutscene to snap a few shots. I’ll see if I can post later.

Basically, I’m VERY suspicious of the two First Brood members we see and hear exactly zip about. It’s possible they have the Auri traits other dragons don’t have.

Also there is no in-game reason to draw a connection to Au Ra being something special, beyond their appearance. They don't have extended lifespans or special powers or anything. As far as we're told, they're just another variety of oddly-shaped-but-otherwise-normal human.

Appearance is literally all that’s special about them. Still doesn’t rule out distant ancestry though. ;p
