Or they could wait until Chapter 4, scatter the odd statue of Kormir around, and introduce the Kormir avatar for the Dervish.

It'll probably take some time before shrines of Kormir become as widespread as to the other gods, however.

(Future chapters may even include a profession dedicated to Kormir as the Monk, Warrior, Necromancer, Mesmer and Ranger represent the various five gods, or even have Paragons switch to seeing Kormir as their special patron rather than the gods in general...)

I'm currently on the mission where you kill the weird Canthan body guard and the undead lich dude, so Kormir took Abaddon's powers and became a god her self???

This is interesting... I'd love to know more about the history of the gods. They're referred to as siblings, but it could be a holy term similar to priests and nuns called "brothers" and "sisters". I wonder if the 5 true gods were once mortals as well? But I guess there would have to be gods before them as well, if they did steal their powers from another god. Phew, too confusing.

Also, is this the first in-game confirmation that the Charr worship/ped Titans? Makes me wonder if the Titans used them, like the Mursaat, to try and take over Tyria. So (if I can remember correctly) Mursaat and Charr served Titans, and White Mantle served Mursaat. I wonder if anyone is behind the Titans... Also makes sense now that the Titan quest near Ascalon included high level Charr in the mobs.

Great find though, I love reading stuff like this especially since I didn't finish many quests in Torment.

I'll try to remember to take screens if I see anything interesting.

I dont think mursaat served the titan i think they protected the door of komalie so the titans remain in prison and the vizier deceived us to help him open the door thats why the mantles who did serve the mursaat kept sacrificing chosens in the bloodstone to enpower the door

theres actually one true god, and I believe the rest of teh five(or six now, maybe) are but angels .Abaddon is satan .His name literally means that as well .
his banishing(banishment?excuse me) is very similar to the events of teh bible .

Just kidding around but...... At the end of the still-to-be-released elite mission you can cap Avatar of Abbadon.

Only thing is that angels work as messangers from a God and carry on his will. So I think the avatrs we see in ToA and even the dervishes could qualify as angels.

I think Anet did the gods in GW inspired by ancient cultures and mythology, were Gods are aspects of nature or mankind. Light, life, death, beauty, darkness, war etc. Kormir being a goddes of Truth and secrets would pretty much qualify as a goddes of wisdom as well. And in ancient cultures the idea of a human being ascended to a divine level because of his/her great deeds isnt that crazy either. And if Anet is ever going to expand on the "true" God in GW ( wich I think they will), I think it would actually be a couple, God and Godess.

Why do I have this strange feeling that we will see Gwen as the next Goddess...
