![]() Desperate for control, the Shaman caste found new fiery gods which were shortly killed by both humans and the Fierce Warband, after which the Charr swore never to worship any gods, and once more became a misotheist race. This caused the start of a rebellion against the Shaman caste. After the events of the Flameseeker Prophecies, however, the Charr's gods were discovered to be titans and were slain by human adventurers. Through those gods, the Shaman caste was made and ruled over the Charr. Two hundred years before the Searing, the Burnt Warband of the Flame Legion found gods of fire for the Charr at the volcano, Hrangmer. When they were beaten back by the humans who used the help of the True Gods, the Charr sought their own gods. The Charr were originally a misotheist or "God-Hating" race that sought to fight against the Six Gods.

However, even though the name of either were never spoken, the Great Destroyer still rose and caused the end of the Dwarven race as a major influence in the world of Tyria. It is said that if either the Great Dwarf's name or that of the Great Destroyer were to be spoken, both would be risen at full power and the end of the world would occur. The Great Dwarf then sealed the Great Destroyer within the Depths. In ancient days, the Great Dwarf and the Great Destroyer once fought each other in a "titanic struggle." In the end, the Great Dwarf overpowered the Great Destroyer by removing its name and thus the Great Destroyer's power. This is shown by Jalis Ironhammer in Thunderhead Keep, Orozar Highstone, and various Wintersday NPCs. Although the Deldrimor Dwarves primarily worship the Great Dwarf, they also worship the Six Gods as well. These are the Great Dwarf, patron god of the Deldrimor Dwarves, and the Great Destroyer, arch rival of the Great Dwarf. Within the Dwarven religion, there are two "gods" that are spoken about. Though both the Unseen Ones and the White Mantle survive, their rule is no more. Their gods, known as the Unseen Ones (for they never revealed themselves except to their most faithful worshipers) led the White Mantle with an unnoticed grasp for years until their reign ended with the fulfillment of the Flameseeker Prophecies. When he returned to Kryta in its time of need, his faith led to the salvation of the nation and the group which he founded flourished. The faith was founded by an exile by the name of Saul D'Alessio who stumbled upon the beings which would become his new gods when he was on the brink of death, and was saved by them. An organization known as the White Mantle, which protected the nation from the Charr invasion, came to rule the land and preached of their new gods that gave them strength. In the land of Kryta lies a unique faith. These gods are Balthazar, the God of War and Fire Dwayna, the Goddess of Life and Air (also the leader of the True Gods) Grenth, the God of Death and Ice Lyssa, Twin Goddess of Beauty and Illusions Melandru, Goddess of Nature and Earth and Abaddon who was replaced by Kormir, Goddess of Truth and Knowledge. They are the beings who in the religion of the advanced races, created the world of Tyria, gave magic to the races, and who bestow the Favor of the Gods. The Human Gods, also known as the Old Gods and the True Gods, are the most commonly worshiped gods in Tyria. ![]() Spoiler alert: The following text contains spoilers relating to the story of Guild Wars Nightfall. ![]()
