I can already disregard this theory.
Anyone NOT done his personal story yet, please don’t read any further.
Putting it between spoiler tags, just in case!
In a personal quest on Orr you have to go to the altar of Grenth and you summon one of the 7 avatars of Grenth. He tells you that the Keeper has fallen to Zhaitan and that Grenth wants him back. Basically this right here tells me that the Human Gods are not the Elder Dragons or dragons however you want to put it.
However I can agree that they look similar though. But there are 6 Human Gods and only 5 Elder Dragons. If they are from the same coin, does this mean there is an unknown 6th Elder dragon as well? This means that the Tengu must know this as well. Or should know it. Unless that Elder dragon is not that old yet.
Look, many people just look at how the fight goes, but forget about the lore/story all together. Zhaitan is made of undead dragons (since they embody magic, I presume this is done by magic). So as you saw hitting him with the big cannon dropped 2 dragons, basically the crippled him slightly there.
They knew he was made around magic (they found out) and used beams to cripple his right wing, rendering his flying useless. He then crashed into a tower. Killing him off with cannons. He is INCAPABLE of fighting physically. He is made of dragons, HELLO, DRAGONS, what is he doing to do? Throw his toe at you?
He uses magic to control the risen, they do the fighting for him, he apparently has no eyes on his body, Eyes of Zhaitan do that for him (you find out who they are through the story line, pretty cool actually). He apparently has different tongue, but the Mouths of Zhaitan eat for him. See… Basically he just exists based on magic.
Who says we killed Zhaitan? I see him drop down into nothingness, I don’t see his dead body anywhere! We’ve lifted his curse upon Orr, We’ve saved the ghosts of Orr. But the dragon dead? I see no evidence. They say in the story line they DEFEATED Zhaitan, not killed. Big difference! I think they rendered his magic useless and put him back a few years. He has his wing to recover + find a whole new army to control.
The blueprint is fine, since you can choose out of 3, one being a very good one really. It’s also giving you a nudge towards another piece of end game: WvW. Pretty good!
You also get a letter of recommendation (gives 1000 influence to your guild). Pretty good also.
The bags … yea … those suck … times a million! Giving lower rewards then 70 just suck. Hell I’ll even accept 75 here as a nice drop. Hope we get a compensation for that if they fix this!
