Eagle Spirit
Eagle Spirit is one of the lesser Spirits of the Wild, and the natural embodiment of all eagles,[1] who stayed behind to fight the Elder Dragon Jormag during the norn exodus.
| After failing to defeat Jormag, the Eagle Spirit had been taken and corrupted via the Ice Dragon's tempting whispers, becoming the Corrupted Eagle Spirit.[2] |
Biography[edit]
Early years[edit]
As the natural embodiment of all eagles,[1] Eagle was revered as one of the Spirits of the Wild among the norn. In the past, the norn considered Eagle as one of the great Spirits.[3]
Following the Elder Dragon Jormag's awakening in 1165 AE, the norn tried to defend their lands in the Far Shiverpeaks from its corruption and destruction, but they were no match for the Ice Dragon. Eagle was one of the Spirits of the Wild—alongside Ox and Wolverine—who stayed behind after Owl's apparent demise and fought the Elder Dragon to give the norn the time to prepare for their exodus to the south.[4] The norn did not know what had happened to Eagle since the exodus,[5] and the Spirit was not mentioned as often as the other Spirits. Unlike other Lost Spirits, Eagle did not get a dedicated shrine at Lost Spirits' Hallow in Hoelbrak.[6]
No norn had been blessed to serve as havroun to Eagle in generations although it was unknown if this was because of Eagle's demise or because it was common for weaker Spirits, or those not close to the physical realm of Tyria, to be without a havroun.[7]
