While I wont claim it has enough merit to be important to the HoT story, it would be really cool if somewhere in the Maguuma jungle we crossed a shrine to the “Norn” Gorilla spirit of the wild.
There is an ascended accessory called “Totem of the Gorilla” with the caption “An intrepid norn artist paid respect to a far-flung Spirit of the Wild with this carving.” – and if we get to see another reference to the spirit in Maguuma it would be some epic cross-referencing.
While at some point having a norn request his aid to help fight Mordremoth would be epic, I thought of a much simpler interaction which I thought was entertaining enough to share.
Have a partially overgrown cave somewhere on a Maguuma jungle map containing a large gorilla totem and a somewhat distressed vigil norn. On conversing, the norn will tell of how he had lost faith in the spirits of the wild – a spiritual crisis that eventually led him into joining the vigil. He will then go on to say that he had experienced recurring visions of fury, anger and the jungle since crashing into Maguuma- which eventually led him to the shrine. He will then awkwardly inquire if you have any bananas. If you are carrying any you can give one to the norn, who will express great relief but ask that you don’t mention the exchange to anyone.
