Dhuum

From Guild Wars Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Dhuum was the god of death before Grenth. Dhuum was, according to Reaper of the Chaos Planes, a cruel and unjust god and was thus overthrown by Grenth who took the position as the new god of death. However, Grenth did not have the power to slay Dhuum, so he was forced into a state of dormancy by Grenth and imprisoned behind enchanted doors and layers of divine magic within the Hall of Judgment. Every time a creature in the Underworld dies, the release of life energy adds to Dhuum's dark power, strengthening him so he may eventually free himself.

Dhuum is also known by a plethora of other names. Some of them are listed here:

  • Death Inevitable
  • The Ender of All
  • The Mouth at the Edge of Darkness
  • Omega Death
  • The Voice in the Void
  • The Final Judge
  • Emperor of Oblivion
  • Master of Nothingness
Spoiler alert: The following text contains spoilers relating to the story of the Nightfall PvE campaign.

A dialogue by Keeper Zeliss in Nightfall reveals that Dhuum has survived in some form and that he and Menzies are aiding Abaddon. Known followers of Dhuum include the Terrorweb Dryders, Tortureweb Dryders, Riders of Dhuum, Skeletons of Dhuum and the Emissaries of Dhuum.

[edit] Notes

It is implied in the quests Don't Fear the Reapers and The Waiting Game that Dhuum's return is inevitable and imminent.
