It is an interesting theory on the creation of Au Ra's and their origins. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I was hoping the lorebook would give a more DEFINED answer then scouring the pages in hopes to find the truth, which I'll do myself once mine comes in, but atlas... It's forever open to interpretation of the players it seems until we get a definite yes or no.
This quote is a good example of how multiple people will perceive something written. On one hand it looks like it's saying, "NOT DRAGONS!" But if you read it again and look at the other meaning it looks more like they were saying. "We couldn't have them looking like full out dragons and had to humanize them more so it made sense a PC could visit Ishgard."
Also note the part I bolded. This gives credence to it being about design, and including draconian lineage. While the former part will always be taken as, "NOT DRAGONS!"

Quote:Of course, when you get the reptilian or draconian design, and you have the story of Heavensward focusing on Ishgard and the Dragonsong War, if you bring in something that is a dragon, you have to wonder how that player fits into the story. We didn’t want there to be that mess or alienate the players that choose that. Once we knew where the story was going to go, we were able to meld it all together and fix the design for what we have now.
