Random questions about lore
1. What happen with the cloth of a Norn when he transform into a spirit form ? ( Bear, Wolf, etc ) . They magically disapear and come back after the transformation ? They shatter like an old Werewolf movie ?
It is covered by the spirit form
“Any clothing or armor worn by the norn is covered by the were-form” link
2. Does the asura’s Golem of each university ’’look’’ the same or is there major difference ? If yes, which difference ?
Golems are kinda like cars, each builder makes it differently, some golems are more popular and usually asuras among the same college have similar tastes and end building/getting golems are look similar to each other.
5- How many ’’paralel’’ plane there is ? I know there is the Mist and the Realm of Abaddon ( now Kormir ) and Grenth, but I don’t know if each god have their plane and if there is more plane with Etheral Demon and vampiric Bunnies. ( I didnt play enough of GW1 ‘’endgame ’’ to know it, I’ve only done the missions. )
From Lore each god was supposed to have their realm, but we only know Domain of Anguish (Abaddon), Fissures of Woe (Balthazar), Underworld (Grenth) and The Mists is another thing entirely.
(and the other 8 elite specs maxed too)
Adding a bit more…
3. As far as I know, Kryta was originally established before the colonization from Elona. King Mazdak, I believe, left the rights to the throne to Orr and established Kryta. Then there was a colonization from Elona in 300 AE, and gained independence from Elona in 358 AE.
4. Abaddon gave magic to the “sentient races of Tyria”.
5. I don’t think we really know how many parallel planes there are. The realms of the gods are all domains within the Mists – not separate planes.

To add to Maethor’s description of 3, the two origin stories are not necessarily in conflict. It is possible that Mazdak’s kingdom somehow failed or otherwise ceased to exist, and that the Elonians later colonized the abandoned land. Unfortunately, ANet hasn’t chosen to sort out their tangled timelines, which means for the time being us players will have to make excuses for them.
1) Ghosts of Ascalon’s first three chapters state that the fur covered the transforming norn’s armor.
2) Appearances alter based on the individual asura’s preferences and the golem’s purpose. You may see shared themes amongst the shared colleges though. But in-game, it’s all the same three or so models.
3) Orr did first, between 205 BE and 0 AE. Elona did second, as a colony in 300 AE. The situation isn’t clear. Both happened, but why Kryta was “established” by Elona is unknown. Maybe the first Kryta failed. Unlikely though given royal heritage. Maybe it was conquered – odd it may be. Maybe it was sold to Elona like the Louisiana Purchase.
4) The world. So everyone and everything. He then gave unique forms of magic to specific groups – who is unknown.
5) There are no “parallel” planes. Those you listed are afterlives – and the Realm of Torment that was Abaddon’s is now Grenth’s. There are the Underworld (connected to Realm of Torment and Mad Realm), Balthazar’s Fissure of Woe aka Realm of War, Eternal Paradise, a.d Realm of Travail for humanity known. Dwarves had the Great Forge. Tengu have the Sky Above the Sky. And off the top of my head that’s it. These are all within the Mists and possibly within the Rift (which is the center of the Mists). The Hall of Heroes is in the center of the Mists and may be what the norn callc the Hall of Spirits.
Then there are all the islands of realities within the Mists such as the sPvP maps, WvW maps, and Fractals.
But for “parallel realities” there really is none. There is the possibikty of futures viewable but those are just the same reality on a different timescale. Then there are other worlds but none are Tyria. And only one of them is known: the magicless/lacking world of humanity’s origins.
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.
Thanks all for the answers !
