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.
Technically fair, narratively inconsistent. Darkscale has to be pretty high-ranking and strong, right? He's outright trying to murder Vedrfolnir in his FATE chain. Better, all of his lieutenants in the first stages are ALSO featured in FATEs that are stand-alone, where they are... Also trying to kill white dragons.
This is why I think we spend more time thinking on the lore than SE does.
