Kormir never “left” because she was never “here”.
For all we know, Kormir doesnt even know what Orr looks like. After she became a goddess she stayed behind in the realm of torment to clean up all the mess by Abaddon, but a small 300 years have passed, so maybe she’s moved n in the meantime
Argument for K is that she has the strongest ties to Tyria, having been a human there within a few generations past, but also that it would make sense in setting up an expansion set in Elona. As someone with dominion over secrets and truth, she is also a decent candidate for issuing prophecies, and for E(lona) either being her, or someone working for her (maybe Jurah’s still kicking via divine magic?).
Argument for L (most likely playing the role of Jennah and/or Anise) is that GW2 human motif has from the beginning been focused on Lyssa more than other gods (both Jennah and Anise are powerful Mesmers, plus the Mesmer collective, and the heavy emphasis on giant works of art and beauty in the capital), her magic played a role in Balthazar’s very sneaky plan, and his plan to seize control of the White Mantle from Caudecus by, ironically, pretending to be a god is rather obviously to the Queen’s benefit. Also, having her own spy network and taking a hands-on approach to running her realm, she would make a decent E.
The chief question is whether Balthazar is going to genuinely be an antagonist, or if he’s just gone loose cannon against a god-level enemy like Menzies that hasn’t yet been revealed. Whether Canach, Caithe, or Braham, our allies have a tendency of doing things that are radical, or foolish, or suspicious, or destructive, but they mostly earn a timeout and a stern talking to, not death at our hands, however much some in the audience might request it. Trahearne excepted, but even then it was a mercy-killing.
