In GW2 the dragon is the one and only creatures, they devour magic for living instead of swallowing food as we usually know, Every tribe on Tyria are considered ancient dragon’s elemental powers as the original incarnation, the dragon’s powers as unstoppable as blizzards and earthquakes. Ancient dragon rarely appeared in all affairs of Tyria directly, they prefer to send their servants for their work. Each of dragon has their own fighters to manage their territory. Ancient dragon relate to elements- fire, ice, undead, water, and crystal – the servants are also reflect that.

At 1078AE,the first ancient dragon Primordus wake up with vibration. Its most powerful fighter the “Great Destroyer” and army from “Depths of Tyria” are pouring in, banish Asuras to the earth’s surface, and destroy many underground civilizations. then Asura joint Dwarves , Norn and Ebon Vanguard, destroy the “Great Destroyer”, However, it let dwarf paid a heavy price, to defeat the “Great Destroyer” ,Dwarves use “Rite of the Great Dwarf”, Today, the dwarves still fighting in the “Depths of Tyria”, so the surface can survive.

After Primordus, Jormag wake up at 1165AE, and appear at the north of Far Shiverpeaks. It break up mountains, change the ocean. Norns living in Far Shiverpeaks try to defeat Jormag, but they finally failed, so the “Spirits of the Wild” leads Norns move to the south. 

The third ancient dragon is Zhaitan, the undead dragon. It makes the sunken kingdom Orr arise to the surface again. And flood the seaboard of Tyria .Zhaitan makes those drowned people into his undead army, and cross over Strait of Malchor , attack south east of Elona .Also block the Cantha with the outside world.

At 1320AE, Kralkatorrik spring up from north of Blood Legion Homelands ,fly to the south and across the Ascalon.His breath erode everything on his way, and form the “Dragonbrand”

There are another two Ancient dragons in GW2,but in the game we can just see their servants nowadays. But maybe the Ancient dragon is waking, by that time we must have to face a big fight.
