Guild Wars 2

I originally heard of this rumour from Wooden Potatoes. (old video)

I might be spoiling a future plot twist with that suggestion (so you may stop reading if you want), but there is a rumour that the Pale Tree is actualy an Elder Dragon or an Elder Dragon Champion, the Sylvari are the Minions. and the reason it helps the world of Tyria rather than attacking it, is because of Ventari’s Teachings.

• The tree growed up near a team of centaurs and humans who got fed up with the endless wars and decided to live in piece every day. A Centaur named Ventary wrote a tablet with commandments, that the tree embraced and the sylvari that were born later are consider it their bible.
• The Tree’s nature is very simmilar of that of an Elder Dragon and it’s minnions, as they are born in adult form with a clear mission to follow. At the same time it appears at the same time line as the rest elder Dragons began to Awake. The also they are the only race that cannot get corrupted by the other dragons.
• The Nightmare court, unlike the rest of the counter race antagonists, seem to be evil without motive. They think that the Ventari’s teaching are wrong, and that their way is right, yet the only thing they do is evil deeds and convince more Sylvari (and only Sylvari) to their ranks.
• The theory is enhanced even more with the “Infinite Coil Reactor” building in the Mount Maelstrom (the building with the entrance to CoE). The building is supposed have been builded by the Inquest to harness the Elder Dragon’s Energy, and the various rooms arround it suggest the theme of eact dragon.
  • There is a room with corrupted crystals suggesting Kralkatorrik.
  • There is a room with corrupted Ice suggesting Jormag.
  • There is an under construction room that it’s named blue and it’s empty, yet it clearly has water pipes coming from above, suggesting a future use for the Deep Sea Dragon.
  • There is a room with undead theame suggesting Zhaitan.
  • There is a room with hot rocks and lava suggesting Primordus
  • Finally there is a green room similar to the Sylvari area, suggesting a 6th Nature Dragon we haven’t heard of yet!!!

This looks like a very nice plot twist for the future, but given how poorly A-net handled it’s story till now, perhaps it’s better that we learned it this way.

Isn’t this more for the Lore forum?
And yes, this is old news

The one and only thing, that crushes this (surely somehow logical) theory is, that if you choose the Sylvari-biography-option “Where life goes, so you should too…”, you’ll meet a Sylvari from a different pale tree, without ANY kind of dream, either a good one like the one because of Ventaris tablet, or a bad one.

But the convinience that he has no memmory means that we can’t tell if he is good or evil, and we never see his tree, but we do see how currius Caithe is to see how the Sylvari unafected by the tablet might have turend out to be, so this also Hints that they Do feel that their purpose might have been diferent if it wasn’t for the tablet.

So the theory remains that the Pale Tree might still be an Elder Dragon Champion.

I was with you until the very last sentence. It appears to be a non-sequitur.

“Caithe is curious to meet/study another sylvari civilization/tribe that lacks Ventari’s influence and is unknown to the Nightmare Court. PALE TREE IS A DRAGON.”

That’s some messed up brainwash mojo right there.

What nonense. Who came up with this lame theory? It make no sense at all. Its more likely the Pale Tree is linked to Melandru, goddess of nature.
