Mordrem: Any creature that is born from the ilk of Mordremoth and has their mind connected to Mordremoth. There are two types of mordrem, born of his ilk, and corrupted by his ilk. Born from his ilk are the average Mordrem AND Sylvari, as sylvari are just a reskin of normal mordrem. Corrupted ilk are all plantoid matter that mordremoth corrupted.
I’ll assume those descriptions of dragon minions are of your own, since you didn’t link any source nor have alluded to any.
I’ll just focus on the sylvari, giving you a question: why do we see sylvari still spawning after Mordremoth’s demise then? The only answer is that they never came from Mordremoth to begin with; they were exploited by Mordremoth (together with the Trees), whose intent was to corrupt them.
And if anything it’s the Mordrem (guard) that are a reskin of sylvari, since it’s the sylvari that get covered in thick bark and grow in size, and never the other way around, so it’s quite the opposite.
Sylvari are not dragon corruption (nor dragon minions), Mordrem are.
In addition, both Mordremoth and sylvari are linked to the Dream (and Mordremoth is not the Dream): that’s where to find their mental link, and how Mordremoth was able to communicate with them priorly to corrupting them.
P.S. What do you exactly mean with “ilk”? Could you use a word other than that, to let me better understand your view?
So, your new theory is: because mordremoth is dead, no new mordrem can spawn.
This is a fallacy right from the start. Some champions and high ranked dragon minions can procreate. Just because they stopped receiving orders from their ‘god’ doesnt mean they stopped doing whatever they were doing before. All risen and all mordrem are currently continuing on their last given orders until killed.
And we know they came from mordremoth, because we know that a human and a centaur took an egg from a cave guarded by mordrem. The only reason they look different from all mordrem is because their spawnage was guided by other hands than those of mordremoth.
The mordrem you see are the ‘normal’ form and the sylvari are a mutation on that form. The mordrem guard is a rebukkal attempt at restoring the original form.
I concede the dream is a strange thing. But as far as I understood it, the dream is simply a ‘memory’ shared among sylvari, stored in the pale tree. It was propably a mechanic to give mordrem commands and purposes or intellect prior to ‘birth’.
Since the pale tree was forcefully disconnected from mordremoth’s mind, the pale tree could use the dream for her own purposes. Not even the Pale Mother can control the dream, she can only share its contents meaning the dream has a ‘higher source’.
(ps: by ilk I mean any creature that shares blood with mordremoth. So mordremoth’s ilk are the champions and the blighted trees. And the mordrem are the ilk of the blighted trees. hence the sylvari are ilk of mordremoth, in the sense that mordremoth is their grandfather)
And it’s kind of hard to cite a source when the source is all the dialogue and the three books I’ve read. I’d have to sift through a pile of wikipedia pages and reread the books to cite the exact pages. its just stuff I remember from reading all the dialogue and reading the books.
