Abaddon
Affiliation	Torment creatures
Type	God
Level(s)	30 (32)
Campaign	Nightfall

Abaddon, God of Secrets and Water, was once known as one of the six Gods of Tyria. However, in the year 1 BE, Abaddon fought against the other five gods using his Margonite army, attacking the place known as Heaven's Gate. Although he was able to overpower two gods on his own, he was defeated at the place now known as the Mouth of Torment and was imprisoned in the Realm of Torment, chained and weakened.

Throughout his imprisonment, servants of Abaddon - including the Titans, Razakel and the Fortune Teller - escaped to the world of Tyria and, through the corruption of humans such as Vizier Khilbron, Shiro Tagachi, and Varesh Ossa, were the instigators of various disasters. The Jade Wind, The Searing, and The Cataclysm were attempts to progress Nightfall and push for Abaddon's freedom. In those attempts, Abaddon gained the help of Menzies and Dhuum's servants. Their combined forces were behind the assault on Tomb of the Primeval Kings and the Dragon Festival.

At the end of the Nightfall campaign, Abaddon is defeated by the player characters, and has his power taken over by Kormir, who becomes the Goddess of Truth.

[edit] Inscription

And so it came to pass that Jadoth, being persecuted by the horrific Forgotten armies, and hounded from his home, did seek refuge among the cooling mists of the Crystal Sea. Untold weeks passed as Jadoth huddled in his sanctuary, with nothing to see save the endless ripples of the boundless ocean. On the 51st day of his exodus, a frightful sight manifested before Jadoth's eyes: the unmistakable shape of Forgotten warships upon the horizon's shimmering edge. And prayed Jadoth, "Abaddon! Lord of the Everlasting Depths, Keeper of Secrets, open mine eyes and bestow upon me the knowledge of the Abyss that I might smite mine enemies and send them to the watery depths!" An unsettling silence swept across the waves. The twilight sky shattered and stars streaked down upon the Forgotten armada. The seas boiled and ruptured, and gave birth to a maelstrom from which not even light could escape, and transforming the sky above into a midnight void. And thus was magic gifted to Jadoth, chosen of Abaddon, the first of the Margonites. -- Scriptures of Abaddon, 1BE

[edit] Trivia

• If your party uses the /dance emote before engaging Abaddon he will perform some warrior dance moves before slaying your entire party with the message "You got served!". Every human party member must use the dance emote for this to work. The emote /dancenew does not trigger the effect.
  • The message "You got served!" is most likely a reference to the 2004 dance movie You Got Served.
• The name "Abaddon" is the English form of the word "Avadon" (אבדון) in Hebrew which translates to "Doom". In demonology, Abaddon was chief of the demons of the seventh hierarchy and was called The Destroyer.
• Abaddon's mask, sword and right gauntlet can be seen in the Ruins of Morah mission.
• The statue of the Goddess of Truth in the Chantry of Secrets depicts Kormir standing over and holding Abaddon's crown.
• Abaddon is the largest foe in Guild Wars to date.
