Talk:Jormag

Could this be the creature that corrupts Jora and Svannir? The cinematic showed them on Drakkar lake.

Yes, I'm 100% certain this is the creature that Svannir breifly made communication with and it backfired on himself and Jora, only they dealt with the power differently. If you would like more information on this you can look through my Guru thread posted in the article. It offers some good views, yet I think we managed to find out it's true history and nature with lots of help. Malchior 12:59, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I bet THIS is the dragon that awakens in the Far Shiverpeaks that kicks the Norn back into former Delmedor terretory. Luke Danger 20:06, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Drakkar's name
Drak - Kar :

Drakon means dragon in hebrew and Kar means Cold in hebrew. since he is frozen, i dont think it is a coinsidence. I will add it to a Trivia section on the article.

Possible alternative source of the name
Another possibility, given the theme of the area, is that ArenaNet got the name from Norse. Drakkar means 'dragons' or 'serpents' (plural) in Norse, singular is Draki. The vikings probably borrowed it from the Romans (draco), who in turn no doubt got it from Hebrew. An older norse name for dragon/serpent is 'orm' (same base as in the English 'worm').

Perhaps significant is that Norse dragons were typically seen as associated with waters and the sea (although they could fly), and snake-like and venomous rather than four-legged and fire-breathing.
