[Jormag's Plan]

@"mindcircus.1506" said:There is no way that Jormag looks at the slayer of three dragons, the life blood of the world, as a potential ally.Wouldn't you rather have someone who could kill you and has the ear of one of your "fellow" Elder Dragons as an ally than an enemy? You fight them, you risk death. You convince them to side with you, and you not only add their power to your forces, you protect your own hide. The announcement for season 5 they did specifically mentions that Jormag knows the world order is changing and they're adapting to it.

But as far as the Commander and everyone knows, Jormag is asleep. We've seen with Scarlet that dragons can communicate with their minions while slumbering (or it could even be Drakkar doing the communicating on Jormag's behalf), but they have no reason to suspect Jormag is awake yet. Taimi or the Norns would've probably said something, and like with Mordremoth, there would've probably been a loud roar that could be heard across the region.

@Khnemu.6029 said:Does Jormag want the mole that we suspect is in the group to lead the Commander to him? Is that why the mole left just enough clues around for us to follow Bangar (rumors, obvious-looking bad guys, stealing the bow, etc.)? What if the colossus was not actually to stop us from following, but to stop us from turning around (as in, maybe it wouldn't have left toward the village)?

An interesting notion, but I'm not yet convinced that Bangar is under Jormag's control. Will it happen? Highly likely. Has it? Doubtfully.Sorry for any misunderstanding. I didn't mean that Bangar himself is, at the moment anyway, under Jormag's control, but we can assume that somebody close to him is (the mole I mentioned). They are the one I'm talking about when I talk about someone leading the Commander (Aurene's Champion) to meet with Jormag. Bangar (and Rytlock's son if he's not the one being controlled) is just the lure to get the Commander there.

[Jormag's Plan]

So there's been something I've been thinking of...

Looking at the announcement and the trailer, Jormag doesn't seem to want us dead. They want us as allies to bring about a new Tyria.

So then I got to thinking, why was the Commander invited to the Charr celebrations? If you're playing a Charr specifically, it makes sense, but why invite the Commander in general? Braham would've gone without us, I'm sure, if you mention it as a sort of Norn/Charr peace offer. Was it to inspire fear with Aurene? Or was it something else?

If it was Jormag's usual methods, the Commander would use caution before approaching. After all, they have no direct line of contact with the Commander and nobody they know would be manipulated so easily. But Bangar and Rytlock's son on the other hand... For the sake of Rytlock, the Commander would want to follow Bangar and the others to save them from getting in over their heads. This would get the Commander to willingly meet with Jormag without any concerns for their own safety.

[Crystalline Memories Disconnects [merged]]

Whenever I view Glint's memory crystal after defeating the elemental in Glint's Lair. This has happened multiple times, and it always occurs right after Glint says "I hope my children can carry on my legacy." Immediately after that line finishes, I get kicked out of the game.
