I was wondering
Doest the stuff around the crature look like a structure?
My Theory
The drakkar was the great destroyers pet.(reason why i say this it that the great destroyer was bigger than the great dwarf and anvil rock was the great dwarfs anvil)
Then being banished there he was frozen however he is not dead. Then when Joras bro used the spell it woke up the magic inside the beast and a part of the drakkars power went into her bro, and it also took a part of jora with it. If you look carefully you see that the nornbear (cursed version of joras brother) has ice spikes. So then the nornbear is related to the beast in a way
end of theory (so far)
There's something scary at the bottom of the Drakkar Lake

The creature is deep in Norn lands. The culture of the Norn is lorgely based on the Norse culture of earth, currect? Taking a page from the Norse, what if the creature isn't Dhuum, or his servent, but actually his offspring? In the norse belief system Loki, the trickster god, had three children. Of these one, Hel, was more or less human (of frost giant, I suppose) and was the master of the norse underworld. The others were each terrible beasts and each was in one way or another banished or bound away, one clearly in the mortal world, the other in a place with a name, but unknown location. Jörmungandr, the World Serpent, was banished into the depths of the ocean where it grew to encircle the world. Fenrir, the wolf, was chained to a rock on the island of Lyngvi, in the center of a great lake. The rock was then sunken deep into the earth. Both these monsters would eventually play a role in the destruction of the gods at Ragnarok but until then they were bound by magic to their respective banishment. So what if we're seing something similar in the lake? Could this be the demigod offspring of Dhuum? Actually, I suppose you could look at Dhuum as filling the role of Hel as one of the three children of another god. In which case that thing could be his brother/sister...

Sometimes a dragon is just a dragon.
Think about this from a GW2 perspective, with it's perpetual world. You don't want a single foe that kill leaving everyone to stand around slack-jawed wondering what to do next. You don't want a hard end-game. What you do want is a perpetual foe, and this foe could simply be the emergence/re-emergence of the Drakkar. Perhaps even the Drakkar are not exactly Dragons, but from the same time/space as Glint and an adversary to Glint's kin. The bones we see on occasion may be the results of a great war that Glint has not even spoken of... one that predates humans et.al., where Dragons and Drakkar fought for survival and supremacy. The Dragons defeated their ancient foe at great cost (apparent due to the lack of current dragons) and, it would seem, not completely. Certainly, whatever this being is, we can give it the human label of "Drakkar" for the time being until we know more. It would seem the Norn have already done so so let's not piss the big guys off, shall we? I could see this being an already impregnated female that will escape and have a couple hundred years in hiding to repopulate her kind. Anyone talk to Glint lately to see if she has anything new to say? (We have already heard mention of dragons attacking bridges in GW2... perhaps Drakkar, not dragons, would be more accurate...)

Concerning the submerged trees...
If you can find marine fossils on top of mountain tops, then finding trees in the remnant of a frozen body of water isn't out of the question. If there had been a cataclysmic event that caused upheavals, flooding and the submergence of mountain ranges and coastlines, then many things are feasible. I recently saw a science channel show that featured a scene of a whale swimming alongside submerged automobiles and tall buildings. So, with a little imagination, this stuff really isn't hard to explain. The juxtaposition of these objects may actually reveal a lot and tell a story in and of itself.

This http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Image...akkar_Lake.jpg is very clearly a dragon maw.

I just hope that the thing stays like that. I love how mysterious it is...

You know... look at that head shot with the spikes coming out and forwards like that... then think of the imaginations of ancient sea goers on the open ocean, no land in sight, maybe 10 or 20 feet above the waterline at best.
Then think of the image of a distant whale tail rising above the water in poor lighting or visibility. Drakkar were Norse longboats with Dragon heads mounted on the prow, so there's a tie to the ocean and dragons there. It also appears that the Drakkar has flipper-like appendages which would indicate a primarily aquatic existence... Were the dragons of norse mythology simply whales? |
