I also want to say thanks, that fixed it for me and I’ve been unable to log it for two days. And kudos to redgunslinger for taking untoward internet aggression like an adult.
Telquatl is a champion of the Elder Dragon Zhaitan, not an Elder Dragon himself.
/thread?
First paragraph, literally the 3rd and 4th sentence of substance.
You heard it here first!
I didn’t really have a concrete theory until I realized that Tequatl is a thing. After I fought him and realized he was blind (also: Sunless), just like Kormir. He’s also a lieutenant/champion, a weaker dragon. Assuming a new god (like Kormir) is not as powerful as a god who has had millenia to work his stuff, that makes sense.
The other dragons are similar to the human gods in theme, maybe not name and form.
Balthazar > Primordus (fiery-ness)
Grenth > Zhaitan (obvious)
Lyssa > Kralkatorrik (purple, crystal-like branded area and creatures)
Kormir > Tequatl (blind)
Now the last two I have the hardest time piecing together. The deep sea dragon we know nigh nothing about, except that it caused tentacled things to rise in rivers and lakes. I just thought that seemed naturey/viney, tentacles and growing and what have you, thus Melandru. A stretch, still, who knows.
Then Jormag/Dwayna. I just noticed a similarity in colors, the blue-white of Dwayna’s air-theme and of Jormag’s ice and snow theme. There could be seen similarities between healing and preservation and the same preservation that comes from being frozen forever, but that is also a stretch.
Melandru > Deep sea dragon
Dwayna > Jormag
It’s been stated that the dragons were here before the human gods. Perhaps they came to this world and claimed it, burnt it to the ground to start anew, then slowly went to sleep. It probably took some time for their minions to die out/be lost/calm down, which is why destroyers and the great destroyer is mentioned in dwarven lore. I postulate that they went to sleep and somewhat of an “other half” awoke, and thus came the six human gods. They create, preserve, bring life until the natural cycle is over and they fall back into their dragon form to destroy and start anew.
tl;dr : dragons are mindless destroyers, gods are creators – two sides of the same coin. Human gods fall silent then the dragons rise. Thematically similar.
