1.) Glint: Tyrian Dragon, affiliated with good, a dragon prophet over 3000 years old and seer of the flameseeker prophecies. She seems to have a guiding hand in shaping mortal heroes.
2.) Kuunavang: Canthan Dragon, affiliated with good but temporarily corrupted by Shiro's power, which we now know was actually abaddon's power passed through Shiro by a dark fortune teller. Later freed from the darkness and aids the heroes with Celestial powers.
3.) Rotscale: A dragon possibly corrupted by the power of undeath that destroyed Orr (likely related to the scepter of Orr which passed into Vizer Khilbron's hands, to which he was reborn as the undead lich). The dragon now seems to have become a husk of its former self and rests atop Majesty's Reach. It is unknown if Rotscale was good or evil before Orr was destroyed. Livia now possesses the Sceptor of Orr. It is unknown whether she will use it for a just cause, or be corrupted by its power.
4.) Rodgort: Dragon of flames and is actually named after Trogdor, the homestar runner burninator. Governs the art of fire and is affiliated with certain elementalist invocations. It is unknown what his affiliation is OR if he is one of the dragons resting somewhere in Tyria.
5.) Charr Homeland Dragon: A mysterious dragon that slumbers at the center of a lake in the charr homelands. It seems that the island formed around the dragon's massive form. It is unknown if this Dragon is good or evil.
6.) Dragon of Drakkar Lake: A giant dragon that is frozen beneath Drakkar Lake. It's power corrupted Svanir and severed Jora's connection to Ursan, the bear spirit. It seems that this dragon is possibly malicious, although it could be neutral. Svanir could have possibly used the power gained from the dragon with greed and ambition, causing him to become the Norn Bear as a result. It is unknown whether Svanir's tragedy was maliciously intended by the Dragon or is accidental.
7.) *Speculation* Dragon of Sancoth: Deep within the burning woods it is possibly that a dragon is buried in the area, this dragon might actually be Rodgort. As shown by previous examples, dragons seem to have enormous powers that can change the world. It is possible that the summoning ceremony of the Charr was actually a ritual that channeled the Sancoth Dragon's power in order to call the Searing. More digging around the Charr homelands needs to be done in order to find out if Dragon power was possibly the cause of the Searing.
8.) Dragon at the Central Transfer Chamber (Destroyer Dragon): This dragon was possibly worshipped by the Destroyers. It rests at the heart of the Great Destroyer's nest and is assumed to be evil. It's power could have possibly resulted in the creation of the Destroyers themselves. It is also possible that this dragon intentionally sent Destroyers to Glint's lair in order to kill it's nemesis and Glint's offspring.

It is safe to assume that awakening dragons, such as the one shown in the final cut scene of EoTN, will play a major role in Guild Wars 2. I wouldn't be surprised if Guildwars 2 was going to be an all our war between several factions of dragons that awaken during the new age.
Some Dragons, like Glint, guide humanity. Other choose to destroy (such as the Destroyer Dragon). The final cutscene of EotN showing the Destroyer Dragon awakening and the attempt by the Destroyers to destroy Glint's offspring are a heavy foreshadowing of the battles between dragons to come.
It is likely that the players will have a role in saving the world as it plummets into chaos due to the dragon wars. This also shows the importance of the races of Guild Wars, since all the races will be affected once the chaos begins.
It is unknown what role the Gods will play if there is a Draconic war on the horizon. This is what I'm forecasting for the setting of Gw2.|||I don't know where it came from, but people are talking about a dragon named Primordis or something like that.|||Quote:

Well considering we as heroes encounter him, it maybe possible he's dead. Just a creature that escaped death via immortality but like the people in Highlander, immortal does not mean invincible.

Huge speculation on this one. We do not know what it is. For all we know it's just bones of a creature that lived long ago and now it's bones are being used as a home for the Charr.
I even hoped we would get a Dungeon Mission that would take us through that place. Unfortunately my hopes lead me to be a fool again when concerning GW:EN.

The power behind the Searing was given by either A) The Bloodstone located somewhere around there. Or B) The Titan's gift through Abaddon. I suppose there's a slim chance but was there even a dragon in that area? If so where, I'd like to look at it sometime.

Much like Rotscale's current situation. We destroyed it. I doubt it'll play a part in GW2 besides being mentioned in readings found in the games possible Lore. So I don't think it will have any influence in GW2 except be a mere stepping stone for quite possibly the Great Destroy's release.|||Does anyone know why Rotscale is there?
I know there is the shrine closeby where the scepter of Orr was and there is a door behind him, but I don't know if he is guarding either.|||Quote:

That door also looks identical to the same door you find in the Underworld past the crawlers and mesmer drake dudes. Me and my friends, when they used to play upon me first starting, would theorize that there was a story to it that quite possibly it the entrance into the Tyrian realm but was locked to prevent the undead from escaping. Then of course Rotscale just outside, we thought he was there in attempts to reopen so that the undead to come back out and reek havoc.|||Quote:

No it's correct, that's why I named him in an earlier topic. The "Waterdragon" as it's called, is a slumbering dragon, just like many dragons all over Tyria. Over time the land formed around it, making it into an island. It is not dead, and is most definately one of several dragons, just like the one in Drakar Lake.|||Quote:

I believe the Dragon referred to by the OP is Primordus, the dragon that awakens after we've defeated the Great Destroyer.|||I thought people said Rotscale is just a drake, or wyvern? It's much lesser than a dragon.|||Quote:

I think we do need to differentiate between the drakes and wyverns we currently face in game as monsters and the True Dragons, which appear to be immortal creatures of immense and terrible/awesome power.
So under the True Dragons, we'd find in GW:EN:
Glint
Central Transfer Dragon (possibly Primordis)
Drakkar
The Waterdragon of Grothmar Wardowns/Sacnoth
Undead Dragon from Orr? (rumor)
Under lesser dragons:
Rotscale
Kuunavang (perhaps the closest to a true dragon among the currently awake variations).
Bone Dragons, Saltspray, etc
Any others?|||While the debate regarding Rotscale's mythological origin can be debated 'til the cows come home, it's flawed to consider it any less of a dragon (It's called a dragon, and that's what's relevant for classification purposes) considering the wide differentiation between, say, Glint and Drakkar.
What's interesting, however, is how Glint and the Destroyer (is there any source for that name?) are quite similar, while incredibly different to, for example, Drakkar. What would be interesting would be to see whether the Waterdragon and Drakkar share any physical similarities. Pairs of dragons, perhaps? The Waterdragon spawned a land where fire rules (The Charr worshipped fire and therefore Titans/Destroyers, not vice versa), whereas Drakkar potentially spawned a land of ice and snow.
Maybe I just like defending Rotscale. First he's stripped of his flesh, then he goes and gets 'buffed' into a green-dropping, mess of a location. It used to be a formation. Now it's madness!
