Turns out that Alberic heard of Estinien’s disapperance from the hospital, and seemed very sad that he left so abrupty without a notice. So with the Stormblood update finally avaliable here in the KR server, I was eager to find out. Odin considers himself the prime antagonist of Nidhogg and as described in Norse mythology, has an extensive collection of embryos in the Hall of Heroes that he plans to use as an army against the Black King.The thing that’s been bugging me for a long time: did Estinien and Alberic ever see each other after the disastorous incident at the DRG 50 quest? Alberic is vaguely referred to but never appears in the Heavensward main quest (which is an awful shame, him being not just Estinien’s teacher but also a former Azure Dragoon and also the one who drove Nidhogg away), and he talks about Estinien as in hearsay, so what’s implied is that he certainly knows what Estinien’s doing but it’s ambiguous as to whether they make direct contact. Yormungand attempted to consume her brother Fenrir to obtain the strength required to challenge Nidhogg, since she, like many others, could sense that the awakening of the Black Emperor was very close. His return has been prophesied for millennia and it is considered to represent the end of the world. People cheered under the rain, as it was the start of a new age.Īt some point in time, his egg was found by members of the Secret Party and they were still in possession of it by the year 1900. It is said that Nidhogg's wings spanned all the way to the foot of the mountain and his blood flowed down like magma, dyeing the whole mountain red, melting the ice and rising up into the sky as bloody water vapor, turning into bright red clouds that poured red rain. His throne was forever covered in ice and snow and his body was placed by his killers at the top of a mountain. Nidhogg was killed on his throne by the combined strength of the four overlords and many hybrids. After her demise, he made sure to erase her from history, making an exception for the story of her defeat.Īfter suppressing the rebellion, Nidhogg created the four elemental overlords, and after a second period of war, he was greatly weakened. A volcano at the bottom of the sea turned the White Queen into ashes and Nidhogg consumed them to regain the power that he gave her. The cracks formed a huge cross that merged the ocean currents from the north and south poles. Nidhogg made two cracks under the frozen sea of Iceland, each one was a hundred-kilometers-long. The Black Emperor finally won the war and tied her up to miles-high bronze pillars. In the end, more humans died under her rule than under Nidhogg's.

At some point, she decided to challenge Nidhogg's rule and launched the largest rebellion in the history of the Dragon Clan, turning one third of the dragons to her side and many human hybrids under the promise of granting them more freedom. He created the White Queen to serve as his priestess, and she was stronger than any other of Nidhogg's creations. Very little is known about Nidhogg, One of his earliest depictions can be found in the ancient Ice sea scrolls, which narrates the creation of the white queen and her subsequent rebellion.ĭuring the start of his reign, Nidhogg achieved peace, since no dragon dared to rebel against him. Most hybrids will find his draconic words irresistible and will surrender to them, except for the descendants of the White Queen.

He created the White Dragon Queen and the four Elemental Overlords.

Nidhogg, also known as the Black Dragon Emperor, was the first and original dragon.
