Good catch. I do enjoy when a theory proves correct.

I think so too, I looked up that Menzies great sword Menzies’s Agony and there is an purple shadow eye near the hilt of the blade, similar to this Sauron eye we’ve been seeing. Coincidence? Maybe.

I’m curious how it will effect raids statistics. -
I wouldn’t necessarily call Zhaitan a rampaging beast as he has shown intelligence as well as tactics during the Personal Story. ….. Trahearne: Where did that come from? This was supposed to be our way out. Agent Zrii: The Orrians funneled us here. They've shown disturbingly advanced tactics ever since we arrived. ….. Agent Zrii: Another dead end. Militarily, I'd say we're being funneled into a trap. Crusader Afanen: I've seen the Orrians swarm and I've seen them lurk, but I've never seen them set traps. Are they capable of tactical thinking? Trahearne: Oh, yes. I've seen them do exquisitely horrible things. If the Priory team found the artifact I suspect they found, it all makes sense. …… That being said if you are specifically talking about the final battle, then yes he is rather mindless, however he is also starving. So his focus is destroy and consume strictly because he is starving.

Well Soo-Won is the Elder dragon of Water and Life, so maybe she did create the life.

I mean even with how they combatted the dragons was kinda repetitive, as well. Gather allies, gather intel, kill dragon. Primordus kinda had that, but it was a bit disjointed since some of it happened in S3 and some of it happened in IBS. I need to do a complete replay from start to finish again.

It’s just too bad, that each dragon didn’t get the proper time and dedication, like Zhaitan did and even then they decided to toss in things, like the Shadow sphere of influence.

Well somehow we went from the forgotten advising that we require entities to fill in the vacancies to just needing Aurene, which was just kinda hand waved into the story. Even Aurene and the Commander talk about how Tyria is still around even though the majority of the dragons are gone. Is this purely because of Soo-Won and Aurene. Then we have the talk about if Soo-Won dies the magic will kill Aurene and destroy the planet. I guess, since the extractors sucked the magic into bits, that can be filtered later? I’m just wondering if this vacancies thing is going to play a part in future story. I feel like these topics were not discussed in a satisfactory way for me and were a bit too ambiguous.

I was hoping that EoD, would have explained the balance of magic better. We went from you can’t kill Kralkatorrik or the world ends to replacing Kralkatorrik, to killing both Jormag and Primordus and hoping everything is ok. Now granted I understand that the magic that should have ended the world was contained in Jade, I just wish they explained it better, because even now, when I talk about it, I’m still slightly confused on the situation.

Was void always a thing or something they just completely made up?
Tyson.5160 replied to Serperior.6541's topic in Lore
I think some of the issue here is this lore isn’t a science. You can use evidence from the story to make points, but at the end of the day even that can’t be trusted, especially since there are so many writers as well as generations of writers. Kinda as if you have a set trilogy of books, but each book has a different author. Very similar to a long lasting tv shows that stumbles over the lore due to so many writers and it’s length. Sometimes you even get that on long running series with the same author, who may have forgotten a small plot point or whatever. At the end of the day it’s a form of entertainment and shouldn’t be taken so seriously. -

From my understanding PoF and S3 were being worked on at the same time. So it doesn’t surprise me that these themes were there. We’re the idea of the void itself completely flushed out by this time? No probably not, but I believe the concept was there. By the time S4 came they were already on the Soo-Won of being mother. -

I think the general rough concept of the void has been around since S3 when the elder dragons started to take each other’s abilities. Not necessarily the name, “the void”. The concept of one dragon having command over all the other dragon magics. You would think by the time you get to the last dragon that this would be the case. So in a very generalized, rough kinda of way, the void has been planned. To quote Caithe from Dragon Vigil in S3: Caithe: So when we kill a dragon...? <Character name>: The others absorb the loose power. Caithe: Then I suppose we must kill them all before any one grows too powerful. <Character name>: Seems like an increasingly difficult task... Caithe: Indeed. -
For Anyone Wondering What The Reversed Gyala Delve Audio Log Says...

Hmmm getting some The Exorcist vibes… -
I get that to a degree, but you would think that with how obsessed Jormag was with Primordus, that it would have thought of creating Frozen thousands of years ago, after Primordus attacked Jormag last time. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Shards_of_Jormag or perhaps introduce it in S3. They probably didn’t have the foresight if it was in fact a natural Jormag ability. The Frozen feels extremely rushed, had very little screen time or real set up. I mean, it makes more sense if it was a new power from Kralkatorrik, problem is, they never explained that. My guess, another casualty in the breakneck speed that IBS had to be concluded to prepare for EoD. In terms of Soo-Won, didn’t they show in the latter Future of Jade story mission that Jade had all the dragon magics in it, before we saw her in the reactor. I think even Soo-Won said something about it in the reactor too. Soo-Won: This place...it manages the flow of magic between me and Tyria's ley lines. <Character name>: Manages? Soo-Won: Joon used a different word. "Modulate." Soo-Won: She takes the magic I shed to make new dragonjade. It's been a most harmonious arrangement. <Character name>: Wait. The other Elder Dragons. They... We killed them. Some of that magic went to Aurene, but the rest... Soo-Won: Returned to the web of ley lines, and then to me. You did what you had to do, but I can't filter the magic alone. Probably another error, I don’t know the whole thing is getting harder and harder to keep track of.
