According to the official Guild Wars website of 2004<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20040130225425/http://www.guildwars.com/professions/</ref>, [[Kaerg]] may have been the name of an additional [[god]] that never made it into the game or an earlier name for one of the [[Gods of Tyria|Five True Gods]] that got changed later into development.

== Notes ==
* The existence of Kaerg should be assumed non-canon until confirmed by canon sources.
* "Prayers to Kaerg" was mentioned alongside "Prayers to Dwayna" and "Prayers to Balthazar" as a school of skills for [[Monk]]s. on the Professions page of the Guild Wars website, first appearing on January 27th, 2004, and being removed from the page somewhere between 9th of April and 5th of June, 2004.
** The skill [[Retribution]] was associated with Prayers to Kaerg. Similarly, [[Balthazar's Spirit]] was originally called Kaerg's Spirit.<ref>[https://photics.com/issues/issue05.pdf Photics Issue 05], May 1, 2004</ref> indicating that Prayers of Kaerg covered [[Smiting Prayers]], suggesting that Prayers to Dwayna was [[Healing Prayers]] and Prayers to Balthazar was [[Protection Prayers]]. Whether Kaerg was an older name for another god, such as Grenth, or was a sixth god planned at the time remains unknown.

== Trivia ==
* ''Kaerg'' is the spelling variant of a surname derived from the [[w:Middle High German|Middle High German]] word "''karc''", meaning "cunning," or "sly"<ref>https://www.houseofnames.com/kaerger-family-crest</ref>.
