Guild Wars 2

When the great storm had finally passed, the kodan saw their gift from Koda. Great sections of the seas had frozen, creating floating islands of ice. And the kodan climbed onto these and so could now live upon the land and the sea. And they watched and they learned and they hunted.

- The Wisdom and Power of the Kodan

• How much of Tyria was created by the Dragons?
• What will happen to the map when these dragons die? (i.e will parts of the Shiverpeaks melt?)

- The Wisdom and Power of the Kodan

• How much of Tyria was created by the Dragons?
  [none, but they might be as old as tyria]
• What will happen to the map when these dragons die? (i.e will parts of the Shiverpeaks melt?)
  [depends. The general consensus is that the dragons cycle is necessary, but we find fixes for this. Other dragons can assume control of other domains, partially, which might mean we end up with Aurene, the hexadragon, but anything herin is specilation.]

Your wuestions are unanswerable, but there is about as much evidence as the dragons having made tyria as not, so its imposdible to talk about this without scrubbing everything off as speculations and assumptions.

I think it’s a good guess that a chunk of the world was shaped by the elder dragons. But they aren’t the only force. I mean, we know Orr was sunk by the a non-Elder Dragon force.

Presumably Elder Dragons aren’t the only source of natural change, like weather and volcanos and tectonics, either.

Nothing really implies the Elder Dragons made Tyria at all. In fact, there’s pretty good indication that the Elder Dragons are younger than Tyria, given that they can be replaced and there are hints that there were once an entire superspecies of dragons.

The Elder Dragons do not control the temperature or dictate the existence of all of their element – if this was so, then there would have stopped being night time with Zhaitan’s death, and all vegetation would have withered and died with Mordremoth’s.

You’ve asked these before, and the answers are unchanged. You come to conclusions that have no basis and plenty of counter evidence.
