Reading those descriptions of Niddy and the not-thing-from-neverending-story, something occurred to me.
For all that people seem to be taking as gospel that the Ishgardians are the assholes and in the wrong regarding the Dragonsong War, we have never once heard of them doing anything to deserve the dragons trying to murderfuck them other than the crime of defending themselves. Yes, Middy and Icetits lay the blame squarely on the Ishgardians, but they are not unbiased sources.
And yet we hear constantly of the dragons' atrocities, massacring entire villages of innocents and civilians, Niddhog 'terrorizing Coerthas' for a millennium. Yes, the Ishgardians are xenophobic dicks, but would you not be if the first race you encountered that was not similar to your own (re: the five races) tried immediately to wipe you off the map for no apparent reason, would you not also have a hard time trusting people that don't look like you?
From what I can recall, it looks to me like the aggressors in this war are the dravanians, and the Ishgardians are guilty of nothing more than trying to survive. 'Sins of the father' indeed; go fuck yourself, Middy.
