Two of your companions act as a distillation of the expansion's themes on war and its effect on people. One stretch of Heavensward sees the Warrior of Light trek across Coerthas to uncover these truths. Cold as iceД¬haracter stories are the driving force behind Heavensward. This ages-long deceit had led to both Ishgard and the Dravanian horde to be locked in a battle so long that the cultures and identities of Ishgardians and dragons have been shaped with war as their one constant. It is revealed that dragons and men lived in peace for some time until a power-hungry Thordan killed NidhoggвЂ™s sister to obtain her eyes which provided great power. The Church of Ishgard has lied for centuries about the beginning of the war, creating a story in which Nidhogg murdered the founder of Ishgard, King Thordan, for no reason.

Over the course of the roughly 70-hour campaign, Heavensward looks at both sides of this war and interrogates the motivations of each, as well as revealing new truths about its origin.Дeep into the expansion, it is revealed that the entire Dragonsong War is built on a lie. This ages-long conflict is the backdrop for Final Fantasy XIVвЂ™s most human story. The Ishgardians have been in a thousand-year conflict called the Dragonsong War with the Dravanian Horde led by the great wyrm Nidhogg. Players had long heard of Ishgard, a theocracy under the rule of Archbishop Thordan VII. Heavensward brought players to the city-state of Ishgard, a place rising out of a deep canyon nestled between the snow-covered mountains of Coerthas.
