Lyssa could have magiced her way into making it look like she left, or maybe one of the twins left, and the other didn't. > > > > You should never take anything an NPC says as literal truth. Developers write NPC dialog from the perspective of that NPC, a flawed being with limited understanding of the situation. > > Kormir isn‘t a normal „unreliable narrator“ NPC. She‘s the goddess of Truth. If her truth isn‘t an established fact, then everything she stands for as a goddess has no meaning. That would also mean, that the titles of the other gods have no meaning. Therefore Lyssa‘s title as goddess of illusion would just be a title, and not a truth. To my understanding, Kormir is actually the Goddess of Knowledge. Her title, being Goddess of Truth, has more to do with how she treats the knowledge. She inherited her power from Abaddon who was the God of Secrets, because he took all of the knowledge and hoarded it for himself. Kormir is called the Goddess of Truth because she is more open and sharing of the knowledge that she has, and as a Sunspear stood for justice, which means she prefers to expose knowledge under the light of Truth. This does not mean that she automatically knows everything or automatically knows the truth of every situation. The gods of Guild Wars are not omni-anything, but they do stand quite a few pegs above the power of humans.

I feel like in those 4 cases, while they gave those villians motivation, they did not make them relatable. In the end, they were all villains that needed put down.
