Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,
I’ve read on at least two occasions that there is no direct link between the human gods and the Elder Dragons. I wanted to know if this answer is based on the quotation of a member of the Anet team, or perhaps something else. Can you help me with references too please (if applicable)? Thanks in advance.

Technically speaking, there is a “link” between them – in that the six gods knew of the Elder Dragons (according to Ogden), yet according to Randall drew power from Zhaitan without realizing they were doing so from an Elder Dragon.

However, the statements of “no direct link” is most likely in reference to the attempts to compare them 1 to 1. There is no official statement – in-game or otherwise – but rather the complete inability to do this comparison. Once you get past Primordus/Balthazar and Mordremoth/Melandru, things get confusing. People relate Zhaitan to Grenth, but then who relates to Jormag? People try relating the DSD to Abaddon, but Kormir doesn’t have anything to do with water. People try relating Jormag to Grenth, but Dhuum didn’t have anything to do with ice. Attempts to relate Kralkatorrik to Lyssa are based more on color and the fact that mesmers tried to enter his mind and he shut them out, but that’s beyond iffy when Jormag (and now Mordremoth) enter peoples’ minds.

Then there’s the fact that the Elder Dragons predate the Six Gods, the latter not being native to Tyria while the former is native.

So there’s no “official confirmation” but logical deduction has thus shown that there is no correlation. It just happens to be that there are six very powerful beings from World A, and six very powerful beings from World B. Though there may be a correlation in that which would mean that the Elder Dragons and Six Gods may not need to “line up” at all.

It has been neither confirmed nor denied as far as i am aware
chances are it wouldnt have been as well because why the gods left and why the dragons have begun to awake is supposed to be mysterious
chances are though it may be revealed in the next few living world patches.
the last POI said that alot of links to guild wars will be in the upcoming patches as well as the screen shot of what looks like the back of a statue of abaddon

When he passed over Ebonhawke, Jennah and Anise took a peek into his head, with the implied intent of repulsing whatever it was that was in the storm (they didn’t know going in that they were dealing with an Elder Dragon). Really, the passage read to me less like he shut them out and more like they recoiled from what they found.

Oh my gods
thats awesome!
i assume its from that destineys edge book??
kitten it we dont get that book in nz

Yep. I’d quote it, but it’s kinda lengthy and I’m not sure how much ANet considers to be too much.

There’s also Snaff entering Kralkatorrik’s mind after the connection being empowered by the magic within Kralk’s crystallized blood (how Snaff eventually managed to immobilize Kralkatorrik) – though while Snaff deals a lot with mental controls in his golems, it’s unknown if he was a mesmer or if he just dabbled in that realm via other means.

ASURAN MESMERS AS WELL!!!

Snaff’s profession is unclear, but there is a confirmed asuran mesmer in Sea of Sorrows.

Well the new trailer might hint at us possibly learning a bit more about any possible link between the EDs and the gods. So I’m excited.
