This isn't about demons, but it is about soul consumption. None of the other gods so far show this power. You missed my point about the unique power though: Dhuum could amaze power by a soul being dispersed while it was in his realm, he did not have to consume them himself. I did not claim Dhuum to be immortal, though I would like that to be the case. Dhuum is also not unique in taking power from souls, as we have a parable of Balthazar eating a soul, and just as Kormir states her personality was a mix of Abaddon's and her former mortal personality, Balthazar states in the parable that the personality of the soul will be forever a part of him. However, I would note that his body having already broken apart and yet still being alive wouldn't be all that unique, as Abaddon's body was destroyed in his defeat at the Crystal Desert in Year 0 the body we see in Nightfall was being created out of the landscape of the Realm of Torment. Given the catastrophic nature of killing even former gods, Grenth and/or the Reapers may have decided to simply keep him imprisoned and alive than risk his magic going rampant for xyz reason. Now this may mean he is unable to die (if so, based on his model, this may be because his body already broke apart but for some unexplained reason his soul maintained form perhaps because he was the god of death), just that Grenth couldn't kill him when usurping him and decided to imprison him. This one also makes not much sense, because we are instantly blinded by Kormir, so why wouldn’t that have happened with Abaddon in GW1 too? Yes, I am aware that they might simply not want to go back and change it, but right now the evidence in the game simply does not match your “defined” feature.Ībout Dhuum: Technically speaking, nothing says Dhuum is immortal what is said is that Grenth wasn't able to kill him. We know that there were information and explanations given by the devs that turned out to be false, so I would be very careful with those. I have a few problems with proves not being present in the finished product. It was made part of the lore for GW2, and when the devs were asked about Abaddon they had replied along the lines of "like when Malchor rested his eyes between sculpting the gods before Dwayna, GW1 players didn't look upon Abaddon long enough to go blind." This was, iirc, on GuildWars2Guru forums so with them down it'd be pretty much impossible to find the source, unfortunately. This is what one would call a retroactive continuity issue. But all of the “few” samples we have, we can see that what most characters seem to think about what happens to the soul after it is consumed by a demon is wrong.Īs for the blinding aura on Abaddon: that didn't exist in the lore in GW1, it was added to the lore with GW2, and Anet never went back to add it in (as is oft the case for their treatment of old gameplay). Granted, we can’t prove that demons can’t devour souls at all with time or even that it takes all demons a certain amount of time for doing so this way. So, the idea of immediate destruction of the soul is disproven in every case we tested it, while not once we can see that a soul is lost forever. And this was indeed not the case for every demon we could test it with. Granted, the word immediately was never used, but if he knew the process to take such long amount of time, his fear would be rather unfounded, as it were not impossible for a stronger spirit to come around and solve the problem. I referred to what even knowledgeable characters seem to think about what happens to a soul, as seen as with The Judge: More or less immediate destruction of the soul. But even if X Soul doesn't show up, how do we prove it isn't just a case of "Oh, X Soul was actually in Z Demon after all".

The only way to really disprove the notion is to be told that X Soul was devoured centuries ago by Y Demon, and we kill Y Demon and free X Soul who's perfectly fine.
