First Brood

The First Brood are the seven great wyrms sired by Midgardsormr in Final Fantasy XIV. Spreading across Hydaelyn, they propagated dragonkin.

Nature
As primordial dragons, the Great Wyrms among the oldest living beings on Hydaelyn, and among the most powerful.

Their key source of power lies in their eyes. A single eye is a wellspring of aether that can rival other sources such as the Tupsimati.

Story
It is said that at the beginning of time, Midgardsormr arrived on Hydaelyn with seven eggs. From these eggs, the first brood of dragons emerged and settled across the land.

Over time, the First Brood and their kin would come to conflict over much shorter-lived mortal races. The great Allagan Empire defeated Bahamut late in the Third Astral Era, and the Ascians tricked his brood-sister Tiamat into trying to revive him as a primal -- a decision she would regret.

Much later, in the Sixth Astral Era, a period of peace between "Skylords" and "Landlords" in Dravania would be ended by the treachery of King Thordan and his Twelve Knights: thy murdered the great wyrm Ratatoskr for power, and blinded Nidhogg when he sought revenge. This would spark a mellenium long bloody conflict called the Dragonsong War.
