They were brothers that challenged Grenth to a duel and lost to him. He then decided to turn them into twin serpents as punishment.

The Reaper of the Twin Serpent Mountain (Where your screen is) explains it.

This mountain stands as a reminder to all those who serve Grenth. Be careful that you do not incur such a punishment

Someone suggested in one of my posts that this creature will smash down eye of the north.
My original idea was that at the back of the honour shrine there is a path

Any suggestions?

Looking at the 2 dragons in EoTN reminded me of a poem I once read...
Fire and Ice
SOME say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice, 5
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
~Robert Frost
One dragon of fire, another of ice. Either alone would be sufficient for the destruction of the world, what might both bring? (And I seem to recall the Norse mythos having the world end with ice...)

Hmmm if they made Drakkar a fight-able creature in GW2, imagine the possibilities. *imagines* A huge dragon comes to attack Olafstead, we are sent there to try and stop it, we die. It attacks the EoTN we are summoned there by Glint to kill her demented uncle, we die. It goes to Sifhalla for a martini but doesn't pay afterward, the cops send us there to arrest it, we die. Need I continue?
If Anet decides to put it in GW2 then it'll be some kind of challenge mission where we fight off Drakkar's ice minions and at the end, Drakkar comes and kills us, our reward? A nice room with a view in the Hall of Heroes.
* Drakkar obviously DOESN'T look like Lugia, more like a bunny. A sick, twisted evil bunny that everybody hates.

Methinks the dragons are so huge we'll either battle them on the inside (think Gate of Pain but more actiony and the dragon is marching towards the Eye of the North as you are inside it), or...
As the dragon makes its way to the Eye of the North or wherever, you ride on its huge back. As many people as you want can ride on him, but the "ride" would be really shaky. You will have to move around him to avoid falling off and cracking your head open on the ground. Perhaps as this goes on you have to make your way to his head and poke his eye out (but he's so big "poking" his eye would be like fighting a level 31 "eyeball")?
Those. Are. STATUES! If they were actual Dragons, why do they keep spitting out fire? Also, if there was no known origin, the Canthans would have already taken ships over there to check em out (then again the Norn sure don't seem to care about Drakkar).
Perhaps they were made as a monument to something, by the same person, so they intentionally face one another?

The dragons in cantha are not statues...they are LIGHTHOUSES. Come on, think about it, do you think Anet was really thinking about the ancient dragons concept when they were DESIGNING Factions?!? Please, enough with that annying concept, it has no real evidence to suggest it being an ancient dragon.
Anyways, I find it funny people are still thinking "if" they make Drakkar a boss in GW2. Trust me when I say this, they will, and if I am somehow wrong and they don't, then NPCs kill it, its 100% known its a main enemy of GW2, just like Primordus.
But something that would be cool, is if they add a random general of one of the dragons or a weaker ancient dragon to awaken and attack the players as they explore, of course making it a very high level, like lvl 40
, as just a random pop up, or adding in quests, just to satisfy people like me who are waiting on the edge of our seats for our chance to fight the dragons in GW2.

If dragons can be fought in GW2... Well, think "raid".
Eldin
Good idea Azazel. We already know that GW2 will have random events in explorable areas, know what'd be annoying but funny?
One of the dragons just flies by and you have to hide or you'll get BURNINATED!
Then again the timing may be annoying if you're about to turn in some big quest.

theres more to come in gw2, theres supposed to be an orrian dragon, and this one takes back the norn territory, forcing the norn out.

monk of the godss
In the old days of prophecies it was said that the stones that let out the magical powers to everything any anything were found by the gods? Perhaps these stones were from the dragons(i think eggs that have laid dormant with parents) and it says that the gods got the stones taken from them but it doesn't say what from?
Gmr Leon
Er..You're a bit confused.
The Gods created the Bloodstones after Doric went to Arah and made a plea for them to help. The Bloodstones trapped certain aspects of magic so that others could not use all of them together and instead would have to work together to get the full effect. After they made the Bloodstone, it was split into several pieces, and dropped into the volcano at the Ring of the Fire Islands Chain.
You have:
Aggression
Denial
Preservation
Destruction
Then lastly, the Keystone. Without it, you cannot reassemble the other Bloodstones.

On the subject of the Norn ice dragon: have you guys noticed there' a similar "glow from below" near the fossilized centipede-like monster just north of Leviathan Pits?
I can't see any dragon in the jade there, but it's awkward to maneuvre the camera there so there might still be one.

Konig Des Todes
That centipede monster is called a Leviathan, you can fight some in the Deep.
It isn't a dragon, we won't be able to see any ancient dragons in any place except Eye of the North. ANet didn't plan THAT far ahead.
I wish people would get that...

I wish people would learn to read. The glow doesn't come from the centipede monster, it's just nearby. AFAI know this is one of only two places in all three campaigns where there's a "glow from below". Also AFAI can remember there was no glow there before EOTN was released.
Konig Des Todes
You want another "glow from below?" Go to the Gate of Secrets, walk into the Domain of Fear, just in front of you there is a glow from below, hard to notice. On the mini map it just looks like a light blue area, look closely at the ground and the ground brighten ups as you get closer to the center. I believe this glow is The Spider's Heart landmark that was found in the gw.dat, but that's unknown.
I think there are other places as well with a "glow from below."
Also, I think the glow was there before EN actually.

I believe the glow is just an effect for the block of jade. Its possible that your just seeing it now after seeing the Ice Dragons strange glow (which is yet to be determined as a strong effect or actually intended)as i have seen a couple of blocks with the exact same glow long before EotN.
Light of the Shiverpeak
Very nice picture, although I expected the dragons to be bigger. Much, much bigger, like ultra super giganticus lupicus size. Even though I don't know much about their size . Anyways awesome picture! ANet made those frost things atop of the ice very cartoonish, or rather bad animated. You know, those big snowflake thingys. Hope they'll changet that in GW2.

How did you get that? Did you extract it from somewhere..?

It is still rather interesting to get a proper view of the Drakkar without that sheet of ice in the way.

I wonder if that's actually what the dragon looks like, or if its actually supposed to have wing membranes between those spars that ANet either put in the lake texture instead, or figured no-one would be able to spot anyway?
Konig Des Todes
The legs seem too thick to be wings imo. So I doubt that is what they are. Drakkar does seem to be more of Norse Dragons *basically giant water creatures* instead of the basic European *like Glint and seemingly Primordus*, Japanese *like Kuunavang*, or African *drake-like, tiny tiny wings*. Which makes sense seeing the origin of the Norn.
And as far as I can recall, it never says that Drakkar ever flown, only Grothmar does. Drakkar pushes the Norn south with the ice creatures, never says he flies over them. So I guess he will be crawling when we fight him. If they make us fight the dragons *with how they word the "real-time-events" that will happen, it seems like they will be like raiders in WoW (of what I heard of those), so I'm starting to have doubts of us killing ALL the Ancient Dragons*.

For me it looks like enormous avalanche/stone shard crag. Mostly the head... Actually I have not come across the origin of any of the elementals. What do you think? Might there be some connection between this dragon and avalanches/crags maybe other ones as well?

What is known, thanks to Svanir, is that Drakkar had SOMETHING to do with at least the elementals in Drakkar Lake. I would assume it is the same for all others as well though.

You could be right - although they don't look like they're formed correctly for legs to me. Possibly fins, though - or it could be a structure that works just as well as wings or fins.
Interesting thought about the dragon having a general in the area... Remnant of Antiquities, perhaps? Is it actually specified anywhere just which Antiquities it's a remnant of?
Konig Des Todes
I don't think it is, but that isn't the creature I was talking about. Which I'm sure you are aware of. The Remnant of Antiquities doesn't seem to be strong enough to be a general of a Ancient Dragon. Maybe a Captain/Lieutenant, that is, if he is affiliated with Drakkar. The same can be said for Elsnil Frigidheart and Myish, Lady Of The Lake.
Only Myish is given a description of my looking around, which is:
With having a powerful bond with the elements, and forcing magical creatures of ice and water, it is clear that she serves Drakkar, and since she isn't that strong, is probably not a general, but a captain or lieutenant.
Back to the Remnant idea. I would think whatever it is a remnant of, the Fragments of Antiquities were also a part of, the Remnant just being a "bigger piece."
Edit: Found something on the Remnant's origin:
So it seems it was the Great Dwarf who created the Remnant of Antiquities.

The tales also tell of one who would prove worthy of claiming it. I can only wonder at what terror could, watching and waiting for ages innumerable, down in the dark. The thought makes my spine tingle. That place is its domain, friend. I could imagine the air itself turning against you. Best step lightly.

Interestingly enough after you defeat Myish, her scythe appears inside the ice rather than on top of it. It almost looks like it was frozen within the ice.
And lets remember the Great Dwarf has fought a general before - wether he knows that is unknown. But i wouldnt be suprised at him creating a guardian from the experience of fighting a previous general.

Besides, if you read all the signs in Sifhalla, it proves my point quite well that Myish is one of many creatures in the area that is powerful. Whether it be in magic or strength isn't particularly important.
