Guild Wars 2

WARNING: If you have not reach Orr part of the story for Act 1 please do not read any farther from this point since it will spoiler a few discoveries about the Elder Dragons reason for attacking all life on Tyria and their main goals.

By now mostly everyone have reached Orr and discovered that Elder Dragon’s goal has been to devour all magic in the world to satisfy their hunger and once they’re done and all possible source of magic from the living to simple objects have been devoured they will return to slumber again and wait until new magic have returned to the world to devour once again.

The big questions now is why does the Elder Dragons can only eat magic, where did they come from, and when did this cycle began in the first place. I know Anet will explain this in their future Personal Story Acts but I just can’t help but think about this now.

I can only assume the reason for the Elder Dragons only devour magic is because they are from a time when creatures only eat magic as their source of food but as magic became lesser the creatures of the world eventually started to devour each other until only the Elder Dragons remained. Due to the lack of food and how each Elder Dragon were at a stalemate with each other they could not take anymore magic and so were forced to wait in a state of hibernation until enough magic in the world have returned.

Of course we know by now that was a time before the 6 original Gods appeared in Tyria. Since these Elder Dragons have been in the world of GW long before the 6 gods but by the time of the 6 gods arrived in the world the Elder Dragon have already long falling into their hibernation state.

We also learned that the Elder Dragons are not as powerful as we all originally believed. The Elder Dragons still fear their own death and are aware that we are able to defeat them from the very beginning if all races had united which is why they have spent their entire time hiding behind their minions rather then handling us themselves.

So what do you all think the reason for the Elder Dragon’s desire to devour all magic in the world and other things?
