Guild Wars 2

I am not sure if this has been brought up at all before, probably, but the search engine on the boards seems broken. Anyway, so I was wondering if anyone else thought that maybe the Gods have some sort of connection to the Elder Dragons, here’s my thinking….

So, we know there are six dragons, and there are six Gods, and the Gods appeared after the Elder Dragons originally were “put to sleep”. Also, each drsgon seems to take after the Gods in a way. The most obvious correlation is Zhaitan and Grenth, both basically have the undead in common. Then you have Primordus and Balthazaar with the fire thing. And then the jungle dragon and Melandru have the nature thing in common. Maybe the Gods have more of a connection to the Dragons than we think? Maybe when the dragons all go to sleep again once we defeat them all, the Gods will return? Maybe it’s a cycle?

Not this again. There are at least a dozen similar threads, so I’ll make this short. The 1-to-1 of the Gods and Elder Dragons do not match up. You would compare Jormag to Dwayna and Kralkatorrik to Lyssa. Other than possibly the color of the type of corruption, they do not line up. Kralkatorrik is related to crystals, lighting, and earth. Lyssa does not match this. Jormag and Dwayna similarly have nothing in common. I suspect you would draw the connection between the Deep Sea Dragon and Kormir but they have absolutely nothing in common. The theory does not hold up, even if you replace Grenth with Dhuum and Kormir with Abaddon.

What WarriorofAsgard said.

• Brought up over a dozen times.
• Doesn’t match up. I’ve seen some very creative attempts at explaining it, but there’s one major flaw in the entire theory:
• The Six Gods were not only gods before arriving on Tyria (three were at least), but all elemental ties they have, as shown for the other three, to be changed between them. Abaddon was water, Kormir is not; Grenth is ice, Dhuum was not; Lyssa is now water, formerly she wasn’t.

The only connection I could imagine would probably be some crazy scenario like the gods coming from the distant past rather than another world (time travel rather than space travel). In that regard, something the gods did back then could have triggered the original rise of the EDs and the EDs could be resulting ‘counters’ to the gods.

That scenario is pretty far fetched and unlikely though. More likely the Gods had nothing to do with the EDs. Certainly they didnt seem to know a heap about them when they first arrived. As I understand it, they didnt even realise they were living on top of a sleeping Zhiatan.

Further, it would be strange that the EDs would start rising so long after the gods had actually left agian. Theres like a thousand year break. In the end most connections that could exist between them dont stand up well under examination.
