Melandru Outfit
The Daydreamer’s outfit (and backpiece and weapons) is supposedly the Melandru set.
If you do a bit of googling, you’ll find the Facebook post made by A-net when releasing the Daydreamer’s set:
“In the forest, the whisper of light wings, glowing and rustling. Some men say they have met with Melandru herself. Others swear they were priestesses of the Goddess. In truth, we might very well never know! Yet, these stories sparked our imagination and inspired us to design this item: We tried to recreate what they claimed to have seen. Here it is, the result of our researches: We are happy to present you what we like to call the Daydreamer’s Wings!”

There has also been a datamined outfit called “Nature’s Oath” which could be interpreted as a Melandru-style outfit. http://dulfy.net/2016/01/12/gw2-upcoming-items-from-jan-12-patch/
No Kormirr outfit either.
Yes, both Daydreamer’s and Nature’s Oath are Melandru inspired outfits, being nature themed, but they are not Melandru.
We already have the avatar outfits for Balth, Dwayna, and Lyssa. We await Melandru, Grenth, and Kormir.
(We have Grenth’s hood. Would be nice to get the rest of it at some point….)
No Kormirr outfit either.
So far we have Dwayna, Melandru, Balthazar and Lyssa. We don’t have Grenth yet (or Kormir, as you said).
Kormir is almost always left out! Of course, because she is a “new” goddess she doesn’t have any temples in Orr devoted to her. I’m not totally familiar with the timeline, but I would guess that Orr was sunk before Kormir became a deity and rose well after. But then, we don’t see any temples devoted to Abbadon either (?).
We also see very few items in game pertaining to Kormir. No weapons or trinkets etc, yet there are tons of things for the others. There’s not even a Rune of Kormir, yet there is for every other god.
If anything, I’d like to know why this is the case, lore-wise or development-wise.
Kormir ascended to godhood at the end of Nightfall. So just a few hundred years prior to GW2’s beginning. Our GW1 characters were along for that ride.
Orr was sunk prior to the initial story line of GW:Prophecies, and was only brought back to the surface with the rise of Zhaitan. Thus no temples to her. Abaddon, the god from which she absorbed her power, does have a temple in Orr:
“Like other human gods, he also had a temple in Orr, the Cathedral of Hidden Depths, which now lies sunken in the Straits of Devastation.” In the open world, this temple a ruin, but during one the personal story steps, we get to explore this temple while it’s still relatively in tact.
When Abaddon fell (or was banished), the other 5 gods essentially wiped his existanse from the world. Casting his followers, shrines, etc into Torment with him. If I recall correctly. Thus for the longest time it was “5” Gods.
I’m not sure there will ever be a full-on Melandru outfit. It may be considered too similar in design to Sylvari in general.
People mentioning certain Gods being left out of the outfits/backpacks thing…
I’ll just be over here, hoping someday the Spirits of the Wild might be a relevant. :,(
