so looking at the globe in the wiper’s headquarters its pretty clear that what we can access is a very very samll portion of the map. That got me to thinking that maybe there r more dragons. Maybe there is a whole race of them with 100’s existing. It doesn’t make sense that only this tiny area of the world is populated

This is something that’s come up several times in the past, but the short version of those discussions has been that maybe you’re right and there are more elsewhere, or maybe they’re all clumped around Tyria because of the bloodstone (at the end of the last rise, all of their remaining food was concentrated into a single point, presumably somewhere on Tyria).

Honestly. there can be endless speculations about what goes on in the parts o the world we’ve never seen. There can be a whole city of dragons for all we know (Although, that would be stupid and I’m pretty sure Anet won’t do that.) It’s equally likely they all centered here, like Aaron said. This spot of Tyria attracted the Human Gods, so it’s likely the most interesting spot on the world. But you’ll never know I guess.

Given that we know little about the origin of the Elder Dragons or even anything about them as a species (are they even a single species?) so we can’t say.

The game lore suggests there are six. There is no evidence to suggest there are more.

All ancient records that exist and number the Elder Dragons say six. There are hints from devs in interviews that there could be a seventh – tied to Kuunavang (or rather, that Kuunavang is tied to) – but there’s nothing really concrete on that.

Jotun creation myths point to six Elder Dragons rising multiple times, meaning that over a multitude of rising, the jotun or whomever they researched only knew of six Elder Dragons at any one point. One could argue that this is due to the knowledge being limited to continental Tyria, however it should be noted that two of the six Elder Dragons did not wake up in continental Tyria (Jormag and the DSD), and only three of them have any mention in continental Tyrian history beyond their name and existence (Kralkatorrik, Primordus, Jormag – and Jormag is only via a single sword which could have easily been brought to Tyria, and his champion Drakkar); this indicates that Zhaitan and Mordremoth came to continental Tyria in the later times of the previous dragonrise (EoD’s term for the Elder Dragons’ awakening not used elsewhere) – doubly so since Zhaitan’s place of rest was where Glaust was freed, a location required for geological magic per Angel McCoy, indicating that Zhaitan wasn’t always there during the previous dragonrise – and Jormag’s influence on continental Tyria even in the end was limited.

So it’s possible that the six we know of are merely “those that have ever influenced continental Tyria and the races there” but that’s rather unlikely given all other indications we are given and see.

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