Hraesvelgr



Hraesvelgr is a great wyrm in Final Fantasy XIV, one of the First Brood.

Profile
Hraesvelgr is one of the seven wyrms born of Midgardsormr.

Even now he makes his home in Eorzea. None can attest to sighting this terrible beast, nor can they deny his menacing presence.

Legends say the great dragon nests high in the mountains of Dravania. Records of his existence have faded into memory, but woe betide those who glimpse dark wings against the sky.

Story
According to legend, Hraesvelgr fell in love with an Elezen maiden named Shiva. But as her life is but a blink of an eye compared to the ageless dragons, Shiva beseeches Hraesvelgr to devour her so her soul would be entwined with his for eternity. Though reluctant at first, Hraesvelgr honored Shiva's request and inspired an alliance between man and dragon that lasted for two hundred years. When King Thordan I and his followers broke that treaty while gravely injuring his brother Nidhogg, Hraesvelgr is one of the few dragons not to participate in the Dragonsong War due to the calming influence of Shiva's soul.
