"Kormir was a true warrior, an inspirational leader, and, finally, a shining light in the darkness. She lost her sight, but gained vision. She gave her life so her people might live theirs." — Jurah

— Statue of Kormir inscription

Kormir is the goddess of order, spirit, and truth. She is the newest of the Six Gods, having risen to power 250 years ago upon the defeat of the fallen god Abaddon.

In her mortal life, Kormir was the leader of the Order of the Sunspears, a now-defunct organization, the purpose of which was to protect Elona. During her tenure, she oversaw the release of Palawa Joko; recruited Sunspears from Tyria, Cantha and the Battle Isles; and led Istan into war against Kourna. It was during this war that she was captured at Gandara, where The Hunger, one of Abaddon's demons, rendered her blind.

The Guild Wars Wiki has an article on Kormir.

After venturing into Realm of Torment, and defeating the fallen god's generals Vizier Khilbron and Shiro Tagachi, the Sunspears turned to the gods for aid in defeating Abaddon. The representatives of the gods only gave Kormir a gift, the nature of which was unclear. After his defeat, Abaddon's power threatened to run out of control and bring about Nightfall regardless, which is when Kormir realised the purpose of the gift. She absorbed Abaddon's power, becoming a goddess. She makes her home in Abaddon's former realm, the Realm of Torment.

[edit] Trivia

• Information in gw.dat (the data file for Guild Wars) suggests that the Realm of Torment was renamed to the Redeemed Realm after Kormir's ascension.
