At the end of POI (in which they said GW1 lore would figure heavily in the next chapters of LS) they said there would be a teaser trailer coming Tuesday. The first half will be recap, the second half will have teaser shots from chapter 5. And they gave us this shot.

edit: Sorry it’s a bit small, I didn’t have my Twitch screen maxed on my monitor when I hit the Snip tool.

I’m not so sure about Abaddon, since technically he’s dead…is there any resemblance to Grenth? Look at the hands though, those are distinctly claws and not fingers.

I think it is just a statue. It may be a statue to a human god. Not so sure about that.

It looks like a statue to Abbadon. If it is, it means we’re going into the Crystal Desert, the one place on Tyria where such a statue might exist.

The dome in the background seems to be of a different style than the architecture from Orr.

Speaking of that dome, is there any info we can get from its decorations? The icon in the bottom left has a slight resemblance to the Shining Blade icon, but doesn’t match exactly. The rest seem to be a solar system, perhaps a link to the vision we got in Omadd’s machine?

I’m not sure I get the crystal desert/elona speculation, since the current season revolves around Mordremoth. I suppose it could link to wherever Rytlock went, but they have said they don’t have the resources to do multiple story arcs, so if it is Abaddon, it will likely involve Maguuma or existing zones somehow.

The NPC as such turned up in Nightfall yes. But the actual character was NOT from Elona none of the “original” Six Gods were. Or from Tyria for that matter.

I remember when we voted for a new fractal between the Thaumanova Reactor or an Abbadon fractal we were told that both would eventually be in the game. Maybe this is a hint that the Abbadon fractal will be coming soon, possibly where Rytlock ended up.

I too have pondered how the Abaddon fractal would have fit into the story back then. Could be interesting for sure.

We remember it very differently. I quite clearly remember them saying that they would NOT do both Fractals.

We will not make both fractals.

Actually I think there are more potential statues of Abaddon in Orr than there are in Crystal Desert.

While true, this one is too clean. The statue and everything around it doesn’t have even a hint of corruption.

As for why the Crystal Desert is suspected, it’s because of the Pale Tree’s vision and the recent involvement of the Zephyrites, who we know have a connection to Glint. Glint’s lair, being in the Crystal Desert, and now a statue of Abbadon, who’s downfall happened in the Crystal Sea (now desert)? How many hints do we need?

Granted, people could be misinterpreting the hints, but that could be true of any conclusion.

On reddit they determined it to be some old ascalonian writing. Using wiki I came to the following:

’ BEWARE T…(insert giant statue) KT(?) KEPT’

The KT? part I’m not sure of. ‘KEPT’ might refer to keeping a secret, which would fit nicely with Abaddon being associated with secrets. It does however raise the question why the text is in old Ascalonian, as I’m not aware of any connection between specifically Ascalon and Abaddon.

I still pose this question to everyone…how does a dead and destroyed God(end of Nightfall) relate to the current state of affairs(remember, his powers where split between Lyssa and Kormir…Abaddon is no more).

The connection is magic. The Elder Dragons are all about magic, they consume it and are said to keep the amount of magic balanced (in a way). Abaddon was a god that is also said to have a connection to magic (from the wiki: ‘He is also associated with Depths, Knowledge and Magic.’). He also started his own rebellion when the other gods wanted to restrict magic again behind the bloodstone.


Something else:

Earlier, someone suggested the statue was a largos, and looking at the concept art that is featured on the wiki, the statue could resemble a largos without its wings. Now that we seem to have determined it is Abaddon, I was wondering whether there is a possibility Abaddon was in fact a Largos (or a predecessor) before ascending to godhood. According to the GW1 wiki Abaddon got his powers from another god, thus suggesting he was not always a god (and that means he could have been a mortal). It would also fit with the attributes ‘water’ and ‘secrets’, as the Largos live in/under water and don’t talk very much.

That doesn’t mean his worshipers are gone, though. They might be trying to revive him, or make him “reborn” in a new body/host for all we know.

They’d need a huge surge of magic and life force to do that, though. Maybe an Elder Dragon’s worth, if you can find a way to fit it onto the altar…

Architecture (well, from the little part we see reminds me of the Grand Court of Sebelkeh mission….

Varesh is attempting to turn the once holy site of the Sebelkeh Basilica into a portal for Abaddon’s minions. Enter the Basilica and close the torment rifts before Abaddon’s The Blasphemy corrupts the Altar of Lyssa.

Just so everybody is aware, in GW1 there was a map far off the beaten path, deep inside the Maguma jungle (it was/is) the area south/west of where Drytop is. (name currently alludes me).

There wasn’t much in this area, except for a path that led to some ruins and a statue of Balthazar. Similar (and currently also still in GW2) there was a statue to Grenth in the Shiver Peaks. There was also a cave with a statue of Lyssa, currently inaccessible in GW2. There was a Dwayna statue in Ascalon, and I am not sure if I ever saw a Melandru statue around in GW1, BUT! There is a melandru statue in GW2, it’s under water and it’s being Woooooooorshipped.

So seeing there are statues of the gods all scattered around Tyria (besides the ‘6’ in the now swamp). This would lead one to conclude that there might indeed be a temple/statue dedicated to Abaddon somewhere forgotten en deep inside the jungle…

We are peace, we are war. We are how we treat each other and nothing more…
