\\\"The ancient dragons, who ruled in the prehistoric era before the Erdtree, would protect their lord as a wall of living rock. And so it is that the shape of the dragon has become symbolic of all manner of protections.\\\"

What I am trying to say is during this age, repeatedly referred to as \\\"a time when there was no Erdtree\\\" by various other items and spells, the Greater Will has yet to \\\'\\\'win\\\'\\\' the \\\"countless wars\\\" (likely with followers of other gods) which would eventually result in the establishment of the Erdtree.

I am not saying the Greater Will equates the Erdtree, I am saying its influence weren\\\'t enough to establish laws governing metaphysical reality of the Lands Between without a base of power; which is the Erdtree.

Now we go back to the statement you want to say; the dragons served the Greater Will.

If this is true, then why did the dragons not establish a base of power which could be called \\\"embodiment of Order\\\" like the Erdtree during their age, when they ruled the Lands Between? Farum Azula is indeed a base of power, but it looks \\\'\\\'nothing\\\'\\\' like Leyndell or the Erdtree, with none of CosmicMotifs or WorldTree motif which Greater Will has. As far as we know, the dragons also didn\\\'t establish a known Order which could shape laws of reality itself, all we know is that Farum Azula is a domain within \\\"a storm beyond time\\\" - a motif which is a \\\'\\\'far cry\\\'\\\' from \\\'\\\'anything\\\'\\\' the Greater Will ever establishes.

The simplest and most likely answer is because they did not serve the Greater Will. I am not saying it\\\'s the \\\'\\\'only\\\'\\\' answer, but simply the most likely, given the details we currently have.

If this is true, then why did the dragons not establish a base of power which could be called \\\"embodiment of Order\\\" like the Erdtree during their age, when they ruled the Lands Between? Why didn\\\'t they establish a known Order capable of shaping laws of reality itself like Marika?

As proof, there are many, \\\'\\\'many\\\'\\\' ancient tribes and lifeforms who never even came into contact with Greater Will (at least before Marika\\\'s time) and formed their own faiths (Ancestral Followers, the ancient astrologers, the Fire Giants). This implies there were a very large period of time in which, after the creation of life as we know it, the Greater Will and other divinities are on a race to establish influence.
