In Eorzean myth (as Erik tells), time begins with Hydaelyn creating Althyk and Nymeia, then the fount of water and magic, "Silvertear" and the great dragon Midgardsormr to serve as its warden. Despite being the ancestor of the Dravanian horde, Midgardsormr is first and foremost a servant of Hydaelyn and the Twelve and defender of the realm - as evidenced by his interference in the Garlean invasion of Mor Dhona despite himself being long-dormant and Dravania being at no immediate threat. I would go so far as to suggest that Midgardsormr is in fact the very first Warrior of Light. So that ought to detail the covenant that you mention, if you want me to expand on this I start talking about it at about 1:30 here:
