There Should be at least three. The Ele, The Assn, and The Rit.

Has thay Gaile person said anything about this? There is a God for all classes is Chapter 1 cept The Ele. Chapter 2, new gods have been promised.

Think there will be new places like Uw and Fow for all other gods? that would be awesome.

Post your info, thoughts, ideas.

I can easily see the Assassin being Balthazaar and Ritualist being Dwayna. And ele...eh.

Yeah there will be new Gods for the assassin and the rit. However, considering we will be visiting a new land, I wouldn't be surprised if we were to find new Gods for all the classes. Different theology=different gods.

I'd like to see an ele god (although Balthazar might take that place).

The Ele's have the Calander.

There are four seasons and 360 days in the Mouvelian year:
Season of the Zephyr (Air aligned) days 1-90
Season of the Phoenix (Flame aligned) days 91-180
Season of the Scion (Water aligned) days 181-270
Season of the Colossus (Earth aligned) days 271-360

YES! Someone read the lore OMG.

Ele's have the calendar and an attribute spread to each god (except Lyssa.)

Balthazar - Fire
Dwayna - Air
Grenth - Water
Melandru - Earth
Lyssa - ???

Ahh I forgot about that.

I would expect Lyssa would have the 'ether' or some similar thing.

Nothing has been said about who the new Gods will be.. why would Anet take out the surprises?
Personally, I think there will be totally new Gods involved in Chapter 2. Factions is a stand-alone game that takes place in an Asian looking continent, so that's more Buddhism right? So, I expect there to be a completely different theology in Cantha with a totally new storyline, including new Gods.
No more Balthazaar, Lyssa, Dwayna.. not even Grenth. Those belong to Tyria and to Chapter 1

lol I imagine Dwayna will be fairly universal, I mean they have been trading for a little while so I would say that a goddess like Dwayna would be recognised in both continents (possibly with a different name?).

Lexar, fire eles, air eles follow Dwayna, and earth eles follow Melendru.
As for water I don't think the lore ever said they followed Grenth but that would probably be a good guess.

Ok forget my previous post ^.

On this site, http://pc.ign.com/articles/693/693676p1.html I read the following sentence:
The five gods of Tyria have universal sway no matter what corner of the globe you reside in.

Guess good old Grenth, Dwayna, Lyssa, Balthazar and Melandru will stick around for a while lol

It says it in the Guild Wars manual that came with the game (if you bought it in stores in the box that is).

When I bought the game, I figured they'd actually follow this and give some sort of boost to different things during these months(but nothing that would unbalance the game)

To clear things up:

If you read your Guild Wars Manual, you'll find this out easy enough

Dwayna: Heal/Prot Monks, Aeromancers
Balthazar: Smite Monks, Warriors, and Pyromancers
Melandru: Rangers and Geomancers
Grenth: Necromancers and Hydromacers (He's god of Death and Cold)
Lyssa: Mesmers (God of Beauty and Illusion, makes me think she could be connected to Assassins)

It's a new world with a new theme so ofcourse theres going to be new gods it only makes sence. Far an Ele haveing god I don't think Eles have gods unless you think of comparing them Wiccans. But i can see them worshiping a deitie of each element. Far as assassin they belive in cash and furthing thier dark arts they need not some pity god to tell them how to think nor live mauwhauwha. Any who yeah their will be new gods you can count on that.

cool Someone really read the manual, Elemetals do have a god based on their primary element they fight with.
I can see ritualists also being with Dwayna or Melandru or dual like Mhenlo he follows 2 gods.

Random thought: non-core classes each follow two gods. Assassin = Balthazar + Lyssa, ritualist = Dwayna + Grenth.
