Guild Wars 2

The PC and the biconics randomly started referring to the newly awakened dragon as Mordremoth, but was it ever shown how or where they learned the dragon’s name?

At the end of season 1, everyone went, “Did you hear that? That was the roar of a dragon!” and suddenly in season 2 “We need to take down Mordremoth!”

During your personal story you join one of three orders, who more than likely have researched a lot about the history of all elder dragons (except Bubbles)

from wiki as well..
“Mordremoth is the Elder Jungle Dragon and the most recent dragon to awaken. Mordremoth’s existence did not become apparent to most Tyrians until early 1327 AE, when it awoke. It was, however, mentioned in ancient dwarven texts and jotun stalea, although no details other than the existence of a sixth Elder Dragon were ever made clear. Additionally, the Inquest had been conducting experiments structured around the presumption of six Elder Dragons for a while, indicating they had some prior knowledge of it. "

This also bugged my mind. I don’t remember ANY instance in the game where my PC actually learns that there is a jungle dragon named mordremoth.

However, since all players following the living world seriously actually know about mordremoth well….. let’s say I can live with it.

I’d like to be proven wrong though. This plothole is disturbing.

So we simply have to go with the assumption that these ancient texts actually included the dragon’s name and that behind the scenes the PC and the biconics did their homework on Mordremoth by looking up these texts.

Would’ve been nice if there was a quest where we look up info on the dragon in, say, the Priory archives like how we rummaged through Scarlet’s texts. Still, no biggie. I can live with this

I’m posting just to break the chain of "V"s.
