“The Elder Dragon is no more”

Mordremoth Thread- Spoilers
Mordremoth said that “I am everywhere, I am all” so, how is it possible that he died?
This is explicitly discussed in the story. Killing his body is pretty much impossible because he can regrow. That’s why we kill his mind instead.
Mordrems are the part of the Dragon, so will they die after Mordremoth’s death?
What about Sylvari? They are the part of him too, so if Mordrems will disappear, Sylvari as well.
This is also explicitly discussed in the story. First, the explorable mode of Arah takes place after Zhaitan’s death and it still has Risen. In addition, Tequatl’s increase in power also chronologically took place after Zhaitan’s death. So Risen do not need Zhaitan to be alive. Furthermore, after Modremoth’s death the following is said:
Canach: Truly dead. I can’t hear its voice in my head. It’s completely gone
Caithe: And we sylvari are still here, still…us. I wasn’t sure…
But in the Taimi notes we can read that Caithe said “the call was gone” but I cannot understand why are Sylvari and Mordrems still alive?
Why couldn’t they be? There is nothing that says that modrem need Modremoth to be alive, just like there is nothing that says that risen need Zhaitan to be alive. However, it of course does affect their behavior since they are no longer directly guided by the dragon’s will.
If they are the part of the Dragon and they meant to serve, Sylvari and Mordrems extend live of Mordremoth, because they did not dead with Mordremoth.
Nope, because we killed his mind as I said.
It is quite possible that a powerful Mordrem champion will rise to prominence, like Tequatl did after Zhaïtan death. However, it is also possible that Mordrems who are corrupted Sylvari may regain control of themselves, now that the Dragon is dead (which would make for some really interesting storyline, IMHO).
The Pale Tree may be a dragon champion, which would mean that it would gain power.

Why would Sylvari or Mordrem not be alive? We have already seen killing an Elder Dragon does not kill its minions – this is explicity explained post-Zhaitan being destroyed.
There was no logical expectation for Sylvari or Mordrem to do the same.
What prevented Mordremoth jumping from Trahearne to another host is unknown – someone more knowledgeable may be able to clear that up
I think he invested too much of himself in Trahearne, and the later had still a distinct body, and a mind trying to fight the Dragon. It’s probable that the Marshal last act was to actually trap Mordremoth long enough in his body for the Commander to kill it once and for all.
