Midgarsormr and his children

[Nevaldus]

So now we have 2 children out of 7 revealed, will we see the other 5 in Heavensward? I assume so since Dravania is pretty much Dragon HQ, but what i was thinking is...does anyone else get the impression Midgarsormr is playing us? We know that he and Hydaelyn had some sort of agreement..but i don't know, i don't trust the thing.




And what of his children, from what we know so far, Nidhogg is considered the King of dragons, and he's a nasty piece of work. Whereas from, the video Dragonsong we seem to be having some kind of peacefull talk with Hraesvelgr, but if you look at the full heavensward trailer, he assaults the warrior of light as he enters Ishgard.

Let me know what you think.

Looking forward to beating on Nidhogg's head with a stick. Not looking forward to talking to Hraesvelgr as breath mints haven't been invented yet.

I'm still not convinced that Midgardsormr is anything but evil, so I'm not holding out much hope of altruistic brethren. The only thing that's stopped me skewering Baby Midgard on the end of a polearm is the power of plot convenience. If the option were there, he'd be a dragon-kebab by the end of the week. Better to nip trouble in the bud before it's big enough to put up a fight.

Actually that isn't him. In the "teaser" trailer we were shown Hraesvelgr originally and clearly attacking the WoL upon entry to Ishgard.

But it's very clear in the actual trailer that it is indeed not Hraesvelgr, but some lesser dragon(from just my guess) with a completely different color pallet. Though... one would think this was just a slight mix-up when in fact it was stated in one of the last few Live Letters that Yoshi had given the CGI/CS guy the wrong model for the original teaser, and the red dragon was the correct one. Meaning the red dragon(s) in the final trailer are different beings in their entirety aside from Hraesvelgr himself. We might have Hraesvelgr's children or even Nidhogg's children attacking us/WoL, but not Hraesvelgr so far that we know.

there was a cutscene/video that made me think its not all black n white :P

I've heard that Bahamut is one of Midgarsormrs descendants (resurrected as Primae, as Shiva who was once a ordinary human/elezen(?)). Has that proven to be a mistake?

So far the dragons haven't come across as anything but racist pricks, IMO. The whole "The sons must pay for the fathers misdeeds" mentality is simply wrong, I'd expect creatures with such a long lifespan to be wiser than that... Ishgard may have started the war, but the dragons are the ones continuing hostilities 1,000 years on when nobody who was actually involved on Ishgards side is still alive (or are they?!). They're basically going "An Ishgardian upset me... KILL ALL ISHGARDIANS!", replace 'Ishgardian' with any race on earth, and yeah... Extremely racist...

The true enemy is almost certainly Ascians. Ascians probably manipulated Ishgard into pissing off Nidhogg. Ascians probably gave Nidhogg dragon rabies. Rather than fighting Ascians though, both are fighting each other. I imagine we'll be talking to Hraesvelgr to try and get everyone facing the real threat, but Nidhogg is far to mad to be reasoned with so we'll have to put him down. Queue Midgardsormr eating some humble pie as he realizes his race is just as pathetic as ours, leading to him giving up on life and becoming a mount for eternity, while we set about undoing 1,000 years of resentment between Ishgard and dragons and dealing with the real threat that both had been manipulated by so easily.

Also, if this expansion doesn't give us an Assault of the Silver Dragons... I'm gonna be so mad... I'm imagining 3.55 having Varis launch a new assault on Eorzea, with us leading Ishgard and dragons against it. Would be like 1.0s opening but a million times more epic.
