Guild Wars 2

So I was wandering around Caledon Forest when I came upon something that peeked my interest. I happened to look up and see three giant faces in the trees. What interested me more was the fact that the faces resembled Mosshearts when they are dead. Is it possible that these were possibly ancient mosshearts that lived a long time ago? Even if there’s only an insignificant story behind the faces I still want to know. Any ideas?

This is the picture of the faces as mentioned before and where I found them.

Once human druids gave up their body to become one with nature, taking up a treant form. Maybe this is one of the forms.

There’s another one, in a cave filled with very large hylek. They apparently call it Itlaocol. Water is coming out of it, and seems to be crystallizing.

I could see it being the Druids in some final stage of life in which they begin to merge completely with the Maguuma. But it could equally be something to do with the Nightmare Court and be a physical manifestation of the pain inflicted on the forest by the NC.

Gandarel.5091:

Unlikely. Of all the spiritual druids and the physical husks of their treant bodies, they’re all of the same size as your standard treant. I doubt that they’d become roughly 5 times larger.

Anyways, these stone faces were present in Eye of the North, and were carved from the stone itself. The most noticable of them being at the waterfall of Riven Earth. Given those were made of stone, and the nature of the stone face of “Itlaocol,” I suspect that these face carvens are remnants of a now-gone group, human or humanoid.

This doesn’t really seem like something druids would do, given their described nature and the personalities of them we’ve seen, and no other human group other than Orrians and Krytans were in the Maguuma, and the former don’t seem to do such things either. So my guess is that these are remnant statues from a race wiped out – or nearly so – by the Elder Dragons. If the jotun’s belief that they once held reign over all of Tyria (or at least influence), then I can easily see them being of jotun origin – or of ogre origin, should they have ever reached as far west.
