Talk:Grenth

Before God Mode

I'm curious, was Grenth a normal Human before defeating Dhuum and become a God? --MageMontu 23:25, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Doesn't have to Human. Could be any type of creature, really. Backsword 09:38, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Grenth is a necromancer God and justice, so Grenth proberbly was once like a human and quickly turned evil and since necromancers do have a different feature to the other humans --77.96.222.63 08:33, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Grenth isn't evil, he's just the god of death and cold. 58.111.89.235 02:44, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I guess more or less like Hades, lord of the underworld. Zeus' brother

I like to judge Grenth and Balthazar as this does; "In fire there is the spark of chaos and destruction, the seed of life. In ice there is perfect tranquility, perfect order, and the silence of death." . Noctarch 02:52, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

The manuscrips do imply that there are several demi-gods and -goddesses, perhaps Grenth was something of that sort who defeated Dhuum.~ Chao 19:50, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

I wonder what skills Grenth would have used to beat Dhuum in the UW before he became a god?

Dhuum's Rest, obviously. --[-Kyoshi-]::[-Talk-] 05:04, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

To those that didn't already, I suggest taking a look at the GW2 Wiki page: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Grenth Info about the past from the future :-) --Cyberman 21:19, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

is his head a sheep skull?????? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Benjabby (talk).

That is not likely to be his actual head. But rather a mask. -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 03:51, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

True,normaly a god would try to keep thier face intact,because they arnt actauly dead.--Neil2250 20:04, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be something...

Just putting this out there, Its more than likely not true, but wouldn't it be something if Grenth and Dwayna were like... Ohhh I don't know, Exes? O_o --Darkness Prevails 07:32, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

mhm,i thought that too once,But then i came to the conclusion Dwaynas a sore wintersday loser and at every chance trys to make grenth fail.Normaly making her self fail in the process.--Neil2250 20:04, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Grenth, Dhuum and Abaddon

Considering Dhuum was never destroyed in a way how Abaddon was destroyed and his power taken by Kormir, it could be said (at least on this talk page) that Grenth was already a god (of water, ice, etc.?) prior to confronting Dhuum. 62.197.173.242 08:21, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

It really depends. Dhuum's a skeleton by appearance, and he lacks legs. It may be that he's less of how Abaddon was prior to the end of Nightfall (a mere fallen god) and more of an undead (ironic if so). It may also be that, having been the god of death, he knew how to avoid death (also ironic since he hunted down those who cheated death). I don't think we have enough knowledge to know this. Besides, Grenth needed the aid of the seven reapers to fight him according to the Halloween 09 quests. -- Konig/talk 09:06, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

"Patron god of assassins"

Isn't Lyssa the patron god of assassins? Random Weird Guy 11:54, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

To answer you fast - Assassin's patron is both lyssa and grenth. Maciej2010 12:00, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Let's get a source on that. The Voice of Grenth doesn't offer any blessings to Assassins, only Lyssa's Muse does that. There's nothing that really screams domain of death about them, either, except that they kill things (which everybody else does, too.) Is it in a manual maybe? Blue Totoro (talk) 22:02, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Okay, found it. The Factions Manuscript mentions that Assassins get their jobs blessed by priests of Grenth or whatever. It seems mega arbitrary but, eh. Blue Totoro (talk) 12:13, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Also was a bit confused with this because of lack of any link or citation which explain this patronage. Anyway, from the Factions Manual:

The Assassins of Cantha pay homage to Grenth, and rarely take on a job unless a priest of Grenth places a blessing upon the task.

This may be added to the Assassin article, but it doesn't have a section related to the patronage and blessing (like Assassin of Lyssa). The same is in the articles about other professions. It's a kind of incompleteness of Wiki, a new player may even have no clue about the patronage and profession-specific blessing. --109.252.109.9 18:24, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

Being born of Tyria does not mean he was actually born on Tyria. I imagine the Mists had better hospitals than pre-exodus Orr. Thrain | contribs 15:25, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

I'd expect that being born of Tyria implies born on Tyria, if I'm honest. Tyria is one of many worlds within the Mists. --Santax (talk · contribs) 00:37, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Unless I'm mistaken, the only information regarding his birth comes from GW2- and that states he's the bastard half child of Dwayna and a sculptor, Not where he was specifically born. Thrain | contribs 07:05, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

"Grenth, son of Dwayna, first god born of Tyria." - gw2:Orrian History Scrolls. 174.131.68.46 06:32, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Right, that's one piece I was referencing. "of Tyria" doesn't mean specifically "on Tyria." Thrain | contribs 16:14, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
