Q:

Hi everyone,

So considering how ravenous the Dragons are, how some are polar opposites of each other, and the fact that there is only a limited amount of resources for them to share exactly how do the Elder Dragons view each other?

Are they in some sort of agreement that each one of them has control over a certain territory and split the resources among each other?

Do they hate each other and fight over resources since there is only so much “food” to go around before they have to go back to sleep?

A:

This is the most recent statement on it . Basically, their cycle apparently has them spread thin enough that they never have to come into direct competition, and so they don’t interact at all. I think that idea has some holes in it, but if that’s the official stance, then that’s the way it is.

There certainly is a lot of space for the dragons to live in, but they can move around. I’m not saying you’re wrong in that they don’t interact. As they seem to be happy enough ignoring each other now, but a few points make me curious.

Kralkatorrik occupies the desert. As he tends to deal with crystal like things, and the Crystal Desert actually being formed of tiny crystals, I’d be willing to bet that was always his little haunt. But why did he go to sleep so close to where Primordus was? Did his proximity to Primordus even matter? For all I know, he could have slept directly above Primordus, and Primordus might not have cared as long as Kralkatorrik didn’t bother anything in his underground domains.
And what about Mordremoth? He’s spreading his influence pretty far too. Pretty soon his minions might be seen running around next to the destroyers. It might just be out of curiosity of the fast travel network, but you’d think he’d be a LITTLE worried about encroaching on another dragon’s area. Especially since Mordremoth is newly awaken and not nearly as established as Primordus probably is.

Well its strange how Anet defines the elder dragons they said it like their not sentient and intelligent but 2 years ago in game time Zaitan was killed now for a example if a wolf and puma 2 apex predator shared some of territory if not most and one of them is killed by horde of deers the other one will not care but I bet that the Elder Dragons care since one of their apex predator brothers could be killed so they must think that they could be also since they are clearly sentient and intelligent.

There’s nothing there saying they don’t. The question was about what the dragons think of each other, not what the dragons think of us. For all we know new found caution may be the reason why we haven’t heard anything from any of the other dragons in the last two years.
