6th Dragon/ Sylvari
mmm
I think it’s hard to reconcile with the existence of the Nightmare court and the fact that people that turn to the nightmare cannot turn back. (it feels as if some barrier inside the sylvaries mind is broken that cannot be restored)
Some thought provoking quote
I for one greatly disagree; I concur with the notion the Nightmare Court may be related to the sixth Elder Dragon (who’s name I believe is Mordremoth – see the last link above), however I cannot see the Pale Tree and the sylvari race as a whole tied to it. Furthermore, all indications we have is that the sixth Elder Dragon is, like the other five, hostile and bent on destruction not rejuvenating Tyria.
Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

If the sylvari and the Pale Tree’s purpose was to rejuvenate the world after the destruction wrought by the other dragons – laying the seeds, so to speak, of new life which could grow to feed the dragons when they next woke up – why would the sylvari be awake now?
Sylvari are out in Tyria, living in the cities and among the people supposedly to be destroyed by the Elder Dragons. They may be incorruptible, but they can still die, and do. The dragons have barely got started yet; how many sylvari do you think will be left when they’re done? Would the Tree survive the fires of Primordus if he swept through Maguuma?
No, I don’t think your theory is very likely. If it was the case the Pale Tree should still be in hibernation, ready to sprout in the ashes of the world. I suppose it’s possible that that was the seed’s original purpose, but I doubt it. I just can’t see a benevolent Elder Dragon, even if it’s sort of an enabler for the others – they don’t work like that.
