Also, He is believed to be the Father of the human race. I'm pretty sure there was some lore some were that stated that before lyssa was fused one of the twins created humankind and was fused because of it. Also, Brahma was cursed not to be worshiped, Maybe this is why the lyssan statues are so isolated and far away from civilization? Of course, I may be totally wrong as this is all speculation.
P.s. the picture of brahma is from wikipedia and the picture of the avatar of lyssa is from guildwiki|||Seems logical. Like most games, things in GW draw inspiration from other places. Lyssa herself appears to have been inspired by Janus.|||Quote:

Someone did try to prove that, but I think it was ultimately decided that there wasn't enough evidence for it. We honestly don't know which god created mankind, whether it was an act of one or all or even if it was an act of a previous pantheon. Although, I do think that there may be some correlation between Lyssa and the Hindu deity.|||Nice find with the pic of Brahma.
The inspiration for Lyssa may very well come from Brahma but several other gods could be named as inspiration for Lyssa both in looks and nature
(try googling multiheaded god or something like that lol)
as for if Lyssa has been fused/cursed or not, I believe there is a whole thread about that subject, and I still don't believe that is the case.
I believe that it's Lyssa's nature to be many things at once, and as such has multiple forms and faces.|||There are 5 World religions and there are 5 Gods in Guild Wars.
Could be a coincidence, could be not.|||/\ Except there aren't, there is Cantha and Elona's places as well, and then Campaign 4.|||"/\ Except there aren't, there is Cantha and Elona's places as well, and then Campaign 4."
Except there is, Cantha and Elona still worship the same gods, they just view them as different looking.
ie:
Balthazar in Cantha:
"IN Cantha, the sword is usually one of the single-edged imperial style, and the battle hounds are usually replaced with winged drakes." - Page 19, Factions Manuscripts.
Balthazar in Elona:
"Some Elonian art portrays him with majestic lions or other predatory animals crouching beside him." - Page 20, Nightfall Manuscripts.|||Quote:

Actually, there are over 20,000 world religions. And there are 6+ gods in Guild Wars...|||Quote:

I meant there are more world regions.
Also:
*semi-spoiler*
I heard that at the end of Nightfall there becomes a sixth God.|||In the visual arts, ancient Greeks > ancient Indians. Which is probably why most of the world's ideas of beautiful architecture tends to be Greek and to a lesser degree, Egyptian.
In the literary arts, ancient Indians > ancient Greeks. Which is probably if you read just one Epic from all of Hindu mythology, forgetting the vedas, puranas and about a few hundred other sacred texts, you'd be hard pressed to not find in it an event that 'can' plausibly ever happen in the course of circumstance to a god, goddess or a great warrior of either sex.
Same goes for Greek mythology, though to a lesser extent.
