Guild Wars 2

So I read up on the elder dragons on the wiki. It seems they absorb magic for a period of time, wake up destroy everything, go back to sleep, and the magic they absorbed leaks back out into the world. They were here thousands of thousands of years before the the gods, and the gods themselves didnt know where they came from. So maybe the dragons always were. They have their own names because thats what they called themselves since always. Just like some of our gods. They have names, and thats what their names always were, just because. In any case it seems like the are tyrias “recyclers” if you will. They absorb the magic to keep in in check, and when it becomes out of control, like it did in the last awakening, the magic became “wild”, they awake and destroy the world, essentially starting a new age and resetting the world and in the process bring magic back into balance before going back to sleep. As forces of nature their reason for being is to cleanse and renew the earth from time to time. Just like regular seasons, and changes within the earth. This is a much more dramatic version of that. An ending of one age, a cleansing, and the waxing and waning of life. (I.e. fall, winter, spring, summer)

The oldest mention of Zhaitan’s name was discovered in dwarven records by the Priory IIRC. A npc in Malchor’s leap mentions that.
Also his minions constantly call him by this name, so maybe he named himself and the dwarves took note of it. Or maybe he adopted the name.

Primordus was named by dwarves to my knowledge too.
Kralk’s name was given to us by Glint.
Jormag I forgot. Woops.

Mordremoth we don’t know yet.
The DSD most likely does have a name, we just haven’t found any records on it yet or heard anyone refer to it. It could have an arabic name if the Largos decided to name it or maybe it has been given a name by the krait (something with ss?).

Or maybe one of the ancient races named the DSD and Mord but we just haven’t stumbled upon any records mentioning these names yet. Mord’s name we only know as players because of Subject Alpha’s move anyway. ;P

We’ve known the name of mordemorth scince the release of GW2 and the Crucible Of Eternity dungeon, if you look at your combat log @ Subject alpha, he got 3 attacks:
-Teeth of Mordremoth
-Teeth of Primordus
-Teeth of Jormag

But that’s meta-knowledge that our character could not possibly know. The question here is how the citizens of Tyria know the names of the dragons.

Primordus, Kralk, Jormag, and Zhaitan the characters know. From minions, writings, etc.

Mordremoth they do not.
