![]() Upon discovering the Warrior of Light possessed the Blessing of Light, he decided to follow the adventurer in accordance with his pact with Hydaelyn, taking the form of a tiny drake. This comes to pass when Nidhogg awoke from his rest to resume the Dragonsong War in Before the Fall, reviving his father's spirit as a consequence. Even as severe climate changes turned Coerthas into snowy mountains, the Holy See remained steadfast in their war against the dragons, but as yet refused to ask adventurers or the other City-States for aid.ĭuring the events of Dreams of Ice, as the Harriers' prophet Ysayle had crystal caravans raided in an attempt to summon Saint Shiva as a primal, word among Ishgard's astrologers speak that Midgardsormr would resurrect. Around that time, the dragon commander Svara had sacked and razed the Steel Vigil north of Camp Dragonhead. ![]() In the aftermath of the Seventh Umbral Era, the Dravanian Horde was able to capture the Ishgardian fortress of Stone Vigil from House Durendaire. This battle ended when Midgardsormr coiled around the Agrius and crashed into Lake Silvertear, seemingly killed by the exploding ceruleum tanks with his corpse relatively intact. At the king of kings behest, they attacked the airship fleet led by the Agrius in the Battle of Silvertear Skies. Many heretics would join the Dravanian Horde by voluntarily transforming into dragons, something that factored into Nidhogg's war strategy against the Holy See.Ī few years after Nidhogg's last rampage was driven back at Ferndale, the Dravanian Horde was rallied by Midgardsormr himself to counter an even greater foe: the Garlean invasion of Mor Dhona. Nidhogg however knew that many of Ishgard's citizens, even the lowborn, were descended from the surviving knights, and thus inherited an aspect of Ratatoskr's power that could be activated by dragon blood. In time, the Ishgardian Orthodox Church created a fabrication of Thordan's life to make it seem that the Dravanian Horde were ones that started the war, and concealed the era of peace by demonizing Shiva (and anyone sympathetic to the dragons) as a heretic. Three other knights left with Haldrath to walk their own paths, with the founders of the High Houses to act as stewards until a new king is worthy to take the throne. ![]() Thordan's son Haldrath, seeking to atone for the atrocity they committed, abdicated the throne and vowed to use the the power of eye of Nidhogg as the first Azure Dragoon to protect the innocent from the repercussions of his crime. His wrath unquenchable, he forced Hraesvelgr to give him one of his eyes, and Nidhogg declared the Dragonsong War to regain what was stolen from him and punish Ishgard for its treachery. ![]() In response, a furious Nidhogg confronted them, killing Thordan and four of his knights, only to have both his eyes gouged out in the process and driven off by the remainder. With his Knights Twelve, Thordan murdered Ratatoskr and consumed the power of her eyes. It was then, a thousand years prior to the start of the Seventh Umbral Era that King Thordan coveted the power of the great wyrms - the eyes. This inspired a peaceful coexistence between the "Skylords" and "Landlords" for a period of two hundred years. At her urging, Hraesvelgr reluctantly devoured her to bind her mortal soul to him. This land was claimed by the dragons, who initially warred with the immigrants until an Elezen maiden named Saint Shiva fell in love with Hraesvelgr. In Eorzea, Nidhogg, Hraesvelgr, and Ratatoskr claimed Dravania and Coerthas as dominion.Įarly in the Sixth Astral Era, the several devout followers of Halone migrated north in search of the "Promised Land" in Coerthas. Long ago, Midgardsormr, first of his kind, gave raise to the first brood who would establish the race of dragons. ![]()
