_The Sylvari ran, his feet leaving sparks on the grass behind him. The Fire was spreading, he had to keep running or he would be consumed like the forests around him. There was smoke in the air, and the beating wardrums of machinery in his ears. He rolls as a fireball arcs over his head, exploding into an inferno in front of him, he stops and turns, and there it was behind him, flames, all around him, encircled by the fire. He turned around slowly, dread creeping up his spine as he came to the full realization there would be no egress, no escape. The fire was creeping closer. He began to feel the heat searing at his bark as the flames neared his feet, when there, out of the blaze, a huge hand of gilded stone, salvation. The Sylvari grasped onto it, lightning arcing from his form to the stone as the flames covered the spot where he had stood. He was lifted out of the blaze and the smoke, atop the giant hand. He saw now what it was connected to, a colossal construct of rock and crystal and metal, which he knew to be a golem, though he was not sure how he knew this. The great Golem lifted him onto its head, and from that perch he could see the forest in its entirety, the sea of flames all around his gargantuan mount, the ashen wastes behind. He could see the war machines trudging across the burnt forest, mechanical demons breathing flames onto the forest. Anger. The Sylvari was full of anger. He Roared and shook his fist. As he did so, the golem did too. The Sylvari's lips curl into a wicked smile, and he finds a staff forming out of the air, the asuran implement now in his grip radiated potential. He pointed it at the machines of those terrible mole people, the Dredge, and their Charr allies. The Golem began to run, great crashing steps shaking the earth with each impact, the Molten Legion forces halting in their tracks, while the sylvari stood fast on top of his new ally. He watched with glee as the golem smashed the mechanisms and their pilots alike, each final scream a small vengance repaid. He raised the staff to the sky and watched as his Golem raised its arms, energy arcing between its palms, a luminous cyan orb forming, bathing the land in its light.  The Sylvari smashed his staff downwards as the golem plunged the orb into the earth, filling the Sylvari's vision with brilliant white light.
His vision faded back in, and the scene was changed. He stood among a group of small, grey creatures he recognized as Asura, and a caravan of golems loaded with arcane equipment, a great city cube rising above the bay on the horizon, and The Sylvari felt its pull as his vision began to fade again._
Lights. Noise. Colors. Voices. Shapes. The world blossomed into Salieri's eyes as he stepped out of his pod, others of his own kind all around him, clad in clothing of leaves much like his own. He had faint memories of his dream, of the Golem, of The City in the sky. A single name echoed in his mind: Rata Sum. He saw an Asura in the armor of a Peacemaker walking amidst the sylvari of the city, a Golemite walking behind him. Salieri ran over to the Asura and tapped him on the shoulder. The Asura turns around with a raised eyebrow at the excited look on the recently Awakened Sylvari's face. "Do you require my assistance, Sapling?" The Asura asks calmly.
The Sylvari can barely bottle his excitement"Y-yes. Can you take me to Rata Sum?" 

*1 year later*
"I do not believe you heard me correctly, my friend. I said that that i was claiming all Molten equipment in this facility." Salieri said calmly, standing before a small army of molten legion soldiers, shamans, effigies, and mining suits. Turrets and gunmen and cannons on the all around him in the pit of this sweltering complex, all aimed at him. This could go very, Very badly if the rest of the Krewe did not get here soon.
The leader of this fearsome assemblage looked Salieri in the eyes, and spat at his feet, the huge shaman's flaming orange eyes inscrutable. 
*"You and what army, twig?"* The shaman growls.
There. Salieri looked downwards to hide his smile as he saw the glow of crystals in the shadows of the tunnels. He let the Arcanic energy from the myriad of power crystals concealed in his leafy armor flow to the channeling crystals implanted in his palms. He started to laugh coldly, his eyes blazing with emerald light as he looked up at the shaman. The Shaman takes an uncertain step back, as the laughter grows hysterical, and Salieri is surrounded by a sheild as the  green holographic outline of a huge mark I Golem appears below his feet, rising until Salieri stood nine meters off of the floor, and brilliant green bolts arc off his body, and the stone of the chamber and the metal of the dredge structures around the hologram is ripped from the surrounding materials and formed into the body of the golem, the crystals in Saleri's armor vaporizing into raw magic, arcing to fill the outlines of the Golem's crystals. Salieri's Holographic staff becomes solid in his left hand as the bubble fades.  The other golemancers of the NeoArcanomancy Krewe and their golems are making short work of the Molten artillery on the ledges, bolts of energy and stone fists forcing the dredge technicians and flame snipers to flee or be  obliterated Salieri grinned maliciously as he hisses a command and pointed his staff at the fleeing Molten infantry. "Kill."

*Bio:* Salieri Left the grove and Sylvari society shortly after Awakening, Accompanying a visiting Peacemaker back to Rata Sum, where his skill at manipulating arcanic forces landed him amongst the College of Dynamics, where he studied and worked as a Golemancer. He eventually ended up defecting to the Inquest, joining a Sub-krewe developing experimental Golemancy techniques based on turing ambient matierials into Golems. During a Field Test against a dredge raiding outpost, Salieri and about half of the Sub-krewe discovered a large stash of prototype Peacemaker-grade Power Crystals in the storage vaults deep in the outpost, obviously taken during a raid. Salieri led his half of the group to slaughter the other half and take the crystals. Shortly after , they defected from the inquest and formed a new Krewe, NeoArcanomancy, using their stolen inquest secrets to forge an alliance with the Order of Whispers, who made the Krewe's previous crimes quietly disappear. Currently the Krewe conducts covert operations in remote parts of Tyria, cleaning up the last remnants of Scarlett's armies and reverse engineering and cataloging their tech and magic.

*NeoArcanomancy Krewe:*
Salieri's Krewe is half research group, half extreme operations division. They use Inquest techniques hybridized with their own research to make powerful and unique golems. With these golems they conduct exterminations of various remnants of Scarlett's armies hiding in remote areas of Tyria, and use knowledge gained from analyzing their technologies and magics to make improvements to their techniques and equipment. There are currently 11 members of the Krewe, 1 sylvari, 9 asura, and one krait who defected from the Toxic Alliance.
