And I mean, I understand what you're all saying about it potentially being a warning, but... It just doesn't mesh with me. Sending someone back to their mom on the brink of death is still pretty reprehensible. It's not even a "If you continue trying to make peace, I'll kill you next time" kind of thing since there are so many of Nidhogg's brood already killing other dragons in Churning Mists FATEs.
No sir, I don't like it. Surprise.
So narratively, they might be trying to suggest Niddhogr is not willing to kill his kin, but the FATEs contradict this. Unless the dragons in the FATEs are just nonfatally KOing each other all the time. If that was the case, Ishgard would have had a field day with all the unconscious dragons, lol.
Again for the sake of benefit of the doubt, I will chalk that up to simple fringe warfare between factions and not Nidhogg explicitly endorsing (but not explicitly condemning) attacks on Hraesvelgr's brood or other "traitors". It's not known how directly involved the great wyrms are when it comes to controlling their brood outside of occasionally pointing at something and telling the lesser dragons to zerg rush it.
Anyway, I dunno, the Sharlayan plot device is sorta... The same as any in any fiction? I guess it's just a matter of what specifically is believable to any given person. I think that it was easier for me however to believe the Allagans capable of crazy stuff because we see it in person, firsthand, before it becomes necessary to drive specific plot elements. That and they left a huge crystal tower so it's obvious that miraculous things happened during their empire. But I wonder how Sharlayan kept the secret of extradimensional observatories from other nations in the world. It would be useful for fortification and infiltration...
