There's some good info on Dragons and Dragoons in this video:Â Lance of Fury
It basically details the birth of Dragoons. How Halone led the founding fathers of Ishgard out of this village to the place where Ishgard sits today. But if you played 1.0 you know that Ishgard sits on a lone peak and has bridges connecting it to land. So these bridges were being built when Nidhogg first appears in the skies. Thordan, Haldrath's father took up lance against Nidhogg, but the power of the dragon bewitched his men and they tossed him from the bridge. Haldrath overcome with grief was able to break the dragon's spell. So he took up his father's spear and plunged it into Nidhogg's eye.Â
Nidhogg's eye still remains in Ishgard today. But it exerts a powerful corrupting force over those who come near it or look into it. So it's kept locked away.Â
But some minor facts about dragonkin themselves. They seem to corrupt the hearts and minds of men. Touching their skin makes you lose your mind. Apparently their presence has poisoned a couple lakes in Ishgard, making the water unfit to drink for anyone. Also the Archbishop made it law that you cannot look into the eyes of a dragon, touch one, or even listen to its words for your own safety. If any of these things happen to you, you cannot be trusted for fear of the dragon's control, and you are labeled a heretic.
