Guild Wars 2

In episode 5 Balthy absorbed a significant amount of two elder dragons powers. With this being said, in Path of Fire if He dies does all this be released back into the world or would it return to their respective owners or be released into world? With the latter presumably resulting in ANet pulling a Kormir, but if the first happens, since Balthazar was in a weakened state would someone have to ascend to godhood to fill his place or would it just be open since we could assume his power(or what was left of it anyway) had been “tainted” or “merged” by elder dragon magic and we know elder dragon magic seeps into the world when they die.

I’m going to hope that if it actually comes down to killing him if that’s the way the story goes, that there isn’t another Kormir that happens – and this is assuming that any of what power remained pre-ED was even divine (as they would really only need someone to step up if it was the divine magic getting loose like what happened with Abaddon). For all we know right now, the gods might already have a new god in Balthazar’s place and it’s just ED housed magic that he absorbed that will be released.

But I’m going to throw the possibility of Aurene into the mix here as a factor of what could be used to clean up any non-divine magic mess, seeing as she already absorbed some of Mordremoth’s magic.
