Were common people aware Bahamut was a primal?

Nobody really seems to worship Bahamut, so nobody's tried to summon him. In theory, it could be done, if someone had enough power at hand to do so; but that requires a massive aether source, like an elder dragon's eyes (see Shinryu), and they're not exactly easy to come by.

Well do the common people know Bahamut was a primal? It would explain why people haven't tried something thinking it was just some super dragon of some kind. You don't need a lot of aether to summon a big primal as their strength is determined by the amount of aether given like with titan if I recall correctly.

you do need alot of aether, in fact you need as much as what nidhogg had managed to gather in his eyes for 1000s of years. i know this cause shinryu was supposed to be as strong if not stronger than bahamut. Not only that every primal needs more aether than the world can sustain since they keep taking aether after they are summoned.

So size is affected by aether, not just strength? When ng+ does ARR, i'll focus more on the mechanics of primal summonings.

im pretty sure size isnt something they think about when summoning X)
Its not like you couldnt create a small but immensely powerfull primal, or a huge but really weak summon.

heres a link to another recent thread about primal summoning https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...imal-summoning


Edit.
Oh yea we have an example of that. Thordan, isnt he like barely as tall but he used one of nidhogg eyes to power up himself. so ye there you go.
