Guild Wars 2

So in Guild Wars 1, we had the fiery dragon sword, the icy dragon sword, and the vampiric dragon sword. The FDS, obviously, made it into the game as a HoM reward, and the IDS, less obviously, made it into the game as a special mystic forge recipe (“Jormag’s Breath”).

I spent the last few weeks acquiring one of each of these, and it got me to thinking – the fiery dragon sword was an iconic symbol of Guild Wars, and Anet has a unique opportunity to extend that into Guild Wars 2.

What I’m proposing is a different dragon sword for each elder dragon. We already have the fiery one (Primordius) and the icy one (Jormag), why not finish the set? I know as a player, I’d love an opportunity to collect a full set of them, and they’d be kitten cool looking.

Brandmaker (Kralkatorrik) = a purple crystal dragon hilt with a golden breath particle effect.

Last Gasp (Zhaitan) = the head of Zhaitan, with the two dragon sword
“filaments” replaced by intertwined serpentine dragons emanating from Zhaitan’s mouth. A filthy green particle effect surrounds them.

I’d draw up some concepts for the other two dragons, but we don’t really have any definitive information on them.

technically, the fiery dragon swords are low-quality, generic replicas of Sohothin and Magdaer, the original Fiery Dragon Swords, which were forged in Orr and given to an Ascalonian king.

currently, Magdaer lays shattered inside the ascalonian catacombs (which caused the foefire), and Sohothin, which was first considered lost in the eruption of the volcano in the ring of fire, is now in posession of everyone’s favorite tribune, Rytlock Brimstone.

TL;DR: the swords don’t actually have any ties to dragons.

Why stop at just swords?

Make craftable armour / weapon sets that require a unique component i.e. Primordial Armour and Weapons require Primordial Ember.

The icy one is called “Jormag’s Breath,” pretty sure that constitutes a tie to a dragon.

The icy one is called “Jormag’s Breath,” pretty sure that constitutes a tie to a dragon.

It’s tied to the dragon Jormag because of the Sons of Svanir, who sort of revere Jormag, hence why it’s made of Corrupted Lodestones, as opposed to Glacial
