Dragons

[Endemerrin]

Hope this helps, it is part of Fern's epic reply in the CG Midlander thread:

"Yoshi-p dropped a few bombs last week revealing that both Midgardsormr and Nidhogg were not primals, but dragon ‘kings.’ However, he also revealed that the dragons are a beast tribe...and that beast tribes have their own gods (primals)... So..."

Thanks for digging it up! This is in fact what I was referring to.

It's been mentioned that Bahamut is an Elder Primal, which according to what has been said about beastmen/primal worship, they see them as the world's true gods. Bahamut might not be a literal god (we can't really be certain on that whole deal or where they came from), but everything seems to point as the dragons worshipping him as their primal and god.

I'm guessing Bahamut's Labyrinth will answer a lot of questions related to him, and the Ishgard content that will be introduced later in the game will satiate everyone's lust for more information on the dragons.
