These are the 4 spirits that tried to hold Jormag back and give the norn time to escape, owl is known to have been eaten by Jormag, but what about the other three have they managed to keep the fight going to this day? have they been wounded and are resting to try to regain their strength and rejoin the fight? how would the magic of these spirits compare to say mad king thorn/bloody prince? did they do any damage to Jormag, and if not why hasn’t Jormag moved further south, is he just slowly eating the magical artifacts in its location and moving only to find new food sources. Did eagle stay behind to battle Jormag as well, because it doesn’t have a statue in Lost Spirits’ Hallow, and Gamal doesn’t mention that spirit?

It is unknown what the status of Eagle, Ox, and Wolverine are. They simply have not been heard of since, and unlike Owl there’s been no confirmation of living or death by a havroun – I’m guessing there was no havroun for those spirits at the time of Jormag’s rise.

I would say the Spirits of the Wild are far superior to either Thorn. They are guardian spirits of entire races and supposedly every race has such a Spirit of the Wild. Kill a member of their species, and the spirits feel it.

We don’t know if they did damage to Jormag, though Asgeir did take out his tooth. He hasn’t moved south because what’s the rush? He can outlive any race on Tyria with ease and has only been awake for 150 years. What’s 150 years for someone who’s been living for at least 20,000 years if Varra Skylark is to be believed? Though per Edge of Destiny and Frostgorge Sound he is now pushing south – it’s my belief that all the Elder Dragons spend some time eating and building up a sizable force – little different than eating breakfast and getting dressed in the morning for us – before going on their world-devouring rampages. Gotta rebuild the strength you lost when you were sleeping and woke up, after all. Especially when you waking up shatters the largest known mountain range.

Eagle we were told battled with Jormag during an interview. Why it doesn’t have a statue at Lost Spriits’ Hallow is unknown, same for why Gamal doesn’t mention it. Probably an oversight either in the interview or design or a change between the interview and design that didn’t make it into the game (but we cannot be certain either way).

Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

With regards to the Spirits of the Wild, doesn’t that also leave them with a weakness? You could massacre large numbers of the Spirit’s animal to drain their strength, and then slay them while they’re so weakened.

That’s actually the plot of the “Defend the Spirits” norn personal storyline. The Sons of Svanir are butchering minotaurs countlessly in order to weaken and draw out the Minotaur Spirit that hasn’t been seen or heard from in generations (which they succeed in doing).

I actually picked that storyline for my Norn. XD I couldn’t remember if the Sons of Svanir were out after the Minotaur Spirit specifically though, or if they just decided on minotaurs to feed the Icebrood Champion because minotaurs are strong and powerful beasts, so ergo, feeding the Icebrood those would make it more powerful than just feeding it rabbits.

Thank you very informative, and I should rejoin the lore guild the reason for me leaving was making a new guild to bank my ever increasing amount of piles of putrid essence…, might be a bit before I can rejoin though depending if the Halloween recipes go down after Nov.11 or not if they do I’ll buy them up if not I will need the extra storage (100~more stacks of putrid essence)
