Guild Wars 2

The six Gods disappear from the world. Shortly after the Elder Dragons start becoming an imminent threat to Tyria. Six Gods, six Dragons.

Grenth, the God of Death. Zhaitan, the Dragon of Decay.

Balthazar, the God of Battle and Fire. Primordus, the Dragon of Fire.

Melandru, the Goddess of Nature. Mordremoth, the Dragon of Jungle, plants.

This is where it gets a bit fuzzy.

Kralkatorrik. The crystal Dragon with the power to corrupt everything it touches. I suppose he could be the perverse version of Dwayna, the Goddess of healing and life.

Jormag. Ice Dragon. Well, ice is the domain of Grenth, but Grenth clearly must be Zhaitan.

Finally, the enigmatic “deep sea dragon”. Water is Lyssa’s element, so let’s put her in charge here.

We’re left with Kormir, the only human deity that doesn’t command a primal element. Instead, she’s the goddess of “truth, justice and spirit”. Still doesn’t sound like Jormag. I guess we can connect her to Kralkatorric instead, since his power “corrupts the spirit” and put Dwayna together with Jormag, because she controls water and Jormag is ice, which is solid water… yeah.

So, this theory is full of holes, obviously. But still, could be it that the Exodus of the Gods wasn’t the result of the “humanity’s folly”, but some sort of a sinister cycle, where Gods become the Elder Dragons and consume Tyria’s magic to maintain their godly powers and later they ascend again, returning as the Pantheon?

So full of holes, so done before:

Google

Done so often, in fact, that’s it’s been referenced in-game, along with the observation that with what we currently know it simply doesn’t work when you get into the details:

A scholarly argument for the symmetry between Elder Dragons and the human gods. Unfortunately, by the end, it is clear that no proof exists to support this theory.

Simple answer: No.

It could still be possible in that the gods may have disposed of their predecessors ,any times across generations and eons, and they may have been closer to the dragons in elemental type and domains.

Shhhh… Don’t say that too loud, it might become canon.

Dear god.. I laughed more than i should have at this.
