Rather than waiting for the strongest hero to step forward to damage the Fang of the Serpent as Bear would do, these norn believed that Wolf would prefer the power of a strong pack instead to challenge Jormag. Since then, some norn such as Aesbjorn claimed that Wolf had spoken to them and urged the norn to join forces with the other races to face Jormag. The map was lost in the crew's battle against the Risen, and the slain crew members' ghosts were cursed to haunt the shores of Orr until the map was retrieved and the Spirits had forgiven the crew's pride. However, the boastful norn crew's voyage came to a sudden end due to the Rising of Orr which was caused by the Elder Dragon Zhaitan's awakening in 1219 AE. When the Spirits were invoked, the map could display everything between the traveler's current position and the destination they wanted to reach. In the past, Bear, Raven and Snow Leopard gave their respective blessings to Wolf's map which was in Captain Romke's possession. Some norn like to speculate if Bear or Wolf would win in a fight while others deem such questions useless as comparing the two Spirits' respective strengths is like asking what would happen if the sun and the wind fought. Followers of Wolf scorn Snow Leopard's stealth as "cowardice," and the shamans of Bear are known to mistrust Raven's adherents, calling their deceptions dishonorable and weak. Although the four Spirits had worked together to help the norn survive Jormag's attacks, they-or their followers-were not always on the best of terms. Thanks to his actions, Wolf became one of the four most highly regarded Spirits of the Wild and had the Wolf Lodge built in his honor in Hoelbrak. Asgeir's personal journal, however, included additional information not known by the rest of the norn about the circumstances of him severing Jormag's fang and his reasons for leading the exodus south.Īt some point, all Spirits became aware of a prophecy involving a chosen norn who would either slay or fall to Jormag after cracking the Fang of the Serpent. It is said that he was one of the four Spirits-along with Bear, Raven, and Snow Leopard-who revealed themselves to the norn hero Asgeir Dragonrender over the field of battle after Jormag had devoured Owl and instructed him to lead the surviving norn south to a sanctuary while Ox, Eagle and Wolverine stayed behind to distract and battle the Ice Dragon. Wolf was one of the Spirits of the Wild who aided the norn in their exodus to the south. Interim years įollowing Jormag's awakening in 1165 AE, the norn tried to defend their lands in the Far Shiverpeaks from Jormag's corruption and destruction, but they were no match for the Ice Dragon. After the humans in the party had communed with the shrine and embraced the aspect of Wolf via Volfen Blessing, they gained the enhanced ability to track the Nornbear by smell and detect his presence with Volfen Bloodlust, which helped Jora locate and slay her corrupted brother to end his rampage. Realizing that the Nornbear would be difficult to track, Sif told the party to seek Wolf's blessing by invoking the Spirit at Wolf's shrine. In order to find the elusive Nornbear who was terrorizing the Far Shiverpeaks, Jora and her southern allies approached the famous Sif Shadowhunter for advice. The Elder Dragon also robbed Svanir's sister, Jora, of her ability to Become the Bear when she rejected the call, although some believed that the Spirits of the Wild had taken the power instead to punish Jora for doing nothing to stop Svanir initially. Through their champion Drakkar, the Ice Dragon whispered promises of power to the norn hunter called Svanir, and turned him into yet another of their champions, the Nornbear. In 1078 AE, the Elder Dragon Jormag began influencing Tyria after millennia of slumber. Although in some cases Raven was believed to personally come to take the life of a norn who was about to die and guide the soul to the Mists,, Wolf was also known to do the same to people who walked in his footsteps. According to old tales, Owl taught Wolf how his hunting would be for naught if his family dined alone, making Wolf heed Owl's wisdom as he returned to his cubs. He is revered as a masculine spirit, and the norn call him their brother, son, father, and uncle when they ask for his blessing. 1.2.2 Chapter 2: Everyone Makes Mistakesīiography Early years Guild Wars: Eye of the North Īs the Spirit of teamwork, friendship, family, and the natural embodiment of all wolves, Wolf is said to be dedicated to brotherhood as he imparts the virtues of loyalty, ferocity, and strength in numbers.
