Guild Wars 2

Have there been any instances where an enemy/faction/NPC has chosen to “side” with an ED, thus becoming a champion/minion? Part of me thinks that it’s not really possible, considering the nature of the Dragons and the fact that they wouldn’t know or care whether or not someone was “siding”(for lack of a better word) with them. I mean I’m sure there are fanatic factions out there who want the ED to succeed in whatever they are doing, but is there an instance where someone/thing was corrupted by will rather than by force?

Sons of Svanir say hello!

Sons of Svanir yes. Although thats just kind of the way Jormag works with most people. I dont know of any other dragon minions that do this. Assuming the Nightmare Court arent servants of Mordemoth of course.

I’ll add Kudu to the list, but the thing is, it’s just hard to see anyone willingly being corrupted by a dragon. There’s no reason to be, as there is nothing in it for someone to become a slave. By it’s very nature dragon corruption would erase any kind of motive they might have had. Even looking at the Sons and Kudu, they never set out to become corrupted- all of them were/are convinced that they’re the one exception that will be able to master the power before it masters them.

There is the possibility of the Nightmare Court, but even if they are corrupted all indications are that they don’t know it themselves.

The only other thing I can think of is the Risen’s propensity to use dead friends as leverage to try to break their enemies’ wills, but while in theory it may have succeeded at some point or another in the course of a century, there are no known examples.

Kudu was more of studying to utilize their magic. He was seeking to manipulate and copy their power. Not side with it.

I don’t think the Nightmare Court could be counted, really. In the most likely scenarios, either they are dragon minions (in a unique fashion given the lack of “Hail the Dragon!” That all risen and icebrood have) or they aren’t tied to Mordremoth at all.

The whole idea behind Jormag is that he mainly corrupts after getting the would be victims to side with him. As mentioned by a Whispers agent in southeastern Frostgorge Sound, Jormag does not corrupt to enthrall like other Elder Dragons but seduces then corrupts. And we often see Sons of Svanir as well as grawl working alongside Icebrood. Very rarely do the icebrood attack the Sons of Svanir or other worshipers.

Is there a place in game where Icebrood attack Sons? You said “Very rarely”? is curious

The only place I know is in the Defeat Your Ancient Foes norn storyline. During Twilight of the Wolf (which is secretly supposed to be a love story between a female norn, a son, and his icebrood wolf – okay, bad joke).

Ah, I was wondering if I somehow missed the Sons vs. Icebrood fight somewhere, thanks!
