TBH , the sylvari being dragon minions bit was poorly done , because ArenaNet had tried to make it not obvious and doing so created quite a few inconsistencies between sylvari and dragon minions that remain open ended . From intelligence to hive mind behavior no , the Dream isn ' t a hive mind and not all sylvarimordrem are tied to it even , to their consuming of magic . Furthermore , most early support for the sylvari being dragon minions were , ironically , built off of false evidence such as Glint ' breaking free ' due to hearing the thoughts and views of mortals just as Ventari taught the Pale Tree morals Glint only could break free due to a ritual , so there ' s more to the story than just that , and it ' s a plot point in Orrthe PSSoS novel that minions are irreversibly corrupted . On the other hand , the jotun scroll never really gave much detail . All we know is that it ' s jotun , Asgeir had it , and the Priory were looking for it . So it ' s not an example of foresight but more drawing on old obscure lore like the mention of the Apostate when Anet introduced The All to us in Season 2 . The Apostate was a figure in GW 1 who was studying the way of the world and the Six Gods .
