Haldrith could've attempted to make peace, but he instead chose to keep the cycle of violence going.
I love your videos! You pick such good subjects among the lore and communicate really carefully.
I find Nidhogg’s pride to be a very bad personality flaw for him. It’s gotten a lot of people killed. I would dare say it indirectly got Ratatoskr killed as well. Not to say he’s justified or responsible alone, just apparent if one looks at the sequence of events. King Thordan essentially “shot the messenger” for this perceived superiority in addition to a myriad of other reasons.
Pog
Great video that addressed the majority of points I brought up in my comment on the previous video. Although something about Niddhog believing he as a protector of the world has the authority to slaughter the mortal races of the world despite not being native to the world seriously bothers me, regardless of Hydaleyn assigning the protector status to Midgardsormr while she waited for the events of Endwalker.
I do wish you mentioned how Niddhog forced his brood to attack with him regardless of their will though.
So if the omnicrons had attacked, Nidhogg was the Star's guardian.
Now imagine if they had invaded after the dragonsong war. We're under attack and the Warrior of light just killed the only thing that could actually stop this new threat.
That's a good point about Nidhogg's silence
looking at it, there is much comparisons to be made between nidhogg and emet
And then after the truth was exposed there was practically a Witch Hunt for all religious leaders within the church even members of the church who didn't know the truth were condemned as evil.
i had a thought about time traveling to the age of the allagans or the reign of thorden and somehow stop the atrocities commited, save nidhogg from his grief but if then there would be so much undone but such actions, sure i'd like to talk one on one with bahamut and not just the false primal crated in his image, but then i think of stories like back to the future where a single change can cause a world of difference especially since the acian's would be at their most dangerous and yet to be sent back to the aetherial sea or erased from existence, who's to say that they wouldnt try something even worse than what ended up happening, cause yeah i do believe that the acian's had a hand in ratatoskr's death that kind of chaos fits their MO
I didn't know dragons only had one parent. I believe I recall one of the Dragoon job quests…. in Stormblood I think, where you had to help help a dragonet and its father find said father's mate?…. Did you take that into account or is this the kinda situation where one dragon produced the dragonet, and then the dragonet took to calling their mate the other parent simply because they're its parent's mate?
What is the source on the dragons being genderless?
Now I’m hoping to see an exploration of the Knights themselves
If you can’t protect your family, at least you can do is avenge them
What's the location at 0:48 please? I can't for the life of me remember a pyramid @_@
