Possibly. It could also be that it was testing to see if some of humanity had some redemption to them and could potentially live in peace with not just nature, but with Elder Dragons.

Also, I came up with a new theory for Duremudira. Maybe Duremudira's species was trusted to guard the Sky Corridor(And possibly some other towers) by the Elder Dragons, in attempt to prevent any others from repeating what the ancients did before to the Elder Dragons.
