Guild Wars 2

I think Lady Kasmeer’s going to be revealed as Scarlet, in disguise.

I’d go with Anise instead. They did promise our nemesis would be someone we already knew, and Scarlet certainly wasn’t known at that time, nor was Kasmeer beyond her South Sun introduction iirc.

The best way to keep tabs on the enemy is to infiltrate them. Sides, all we’ve seen of Scarlet since the invasion is holograms.

If we’re talking disguise and out of place, than Taimi.

It was Queen Jennah all along!!

I thought we saw her once during Twilight Assault and Tower of Nightmares?

Remember when Kasmeer pricked her finger in the tower? I have a feeling something will come of that and it won’t be good. Something “dramatic” will happen and I am sure we will all get sad feelings and what not.

I predict thorn related death sentence, but able to be heroic for a last gasp. The ’i’ll die anyway, so i’ll detonate the doomsday device’ type thing.

Lord Faren has the potential to be something more, but being tied to the personal story limits his possibilities. He was in the background for a while, he somehow survived the fall during the Jubilee and Scarlet did play rough with him when she could have done a lot more.

She is the thing which goes by “E.” The person whom Marjory asked Logan about in the Origins of Madness Instance.

I’m wondering just how long that staff of hers has been in her family.

Have any of you noticed the voice at the end of Guild Wars 2 – Our Story So Far sounds different from the Scarlet we’ve known?

Are we even sure it’s Scarlet and not the Personal Nemesis(who according to ArenaNet was someone we knew and since we didn’t know Scarlet at the time the Nemesis is obviously not her)?

Could Countess Anise, Queen Jennah, Kasmeer and the voice whispering into Scarlet’s head all be the Nemesis in disguise?

If so how is she/he going to make it personal? Kill Destiny’s Edge maybe? What does she/he mean by playtime? Is she/he drawing Scarlet on a goose chase after her for her/his amusement?

“Are you two mating partner ?”

I do not care who Scarlet is as long as they kill Trahearne…

I’d completely forgotten about that since the introduction of Scarlet…

Perhaps they had a change of course since they wanted to do “amazing things with the Sylvari in 2014”?

I thought it was the Year of the Horse, not year of the plant people.

GW2 needs moar centaurs.

Her secret is she died a very long time ago to Scarlet before we even knew about her and she used her Mesmer magic to make her last clone last until it finishes it’s mission. Once Scarlet dies she’ll reveal this to Marjory and we’ll have a sad, dramatic scene of them saying goodbye to eachother~ then the clone explodes…

Speaking of Trahearne, where the hell has he been all this time? You’d think he’d be helping us with Scarlet.

…which will kill Marjory or at least confuse her horribly. Depends on how Kasmeer’s traited.

Seriously, though, I’m getting a vibe that Kasmeer is just who she says she is…only she’s about to go bad on us. She’s been harboring resentment against the other nobles of DR for years for what was done to her family, remember. Then we have the finger-pricking incident, the perilous pursuit of Scarlet, and the lurking menace of ED corruption she must encounter in her travels.

Many have hypothesized the Scarlet will die at the end of the LS arc, perhaps in the act of redeeming herself. But somebody’s gonna have to take up the mantle of Bad Guy/Gal…

No, That would end up starting a bad stereotype that every lesbian couple ends in one going crazy and building an evil empire. .-.

But Kasmeer and Delaqua are an analogue for Lyssa, so they’re sort of a package deal. Braham, Rox, Kasmeer/Delaqua, Canach, Taimi, and E aren’t Destiny’s Edge 2.0, they’re the six Gods 2.0, no longer human-only.

Braham: A guardian. Basically, a courageous warrior who lights things on fire. Balthazar, obvs.

Rox: A ranger (in GW1, they were explicitly linked to Melandru). Also, a miner. Name sounds like Rocks. Nature + Earth = Melandru.

Kasmeer/Delaqua: What’s Lyssa all about? Illusion (Kasmeer), Water (“Del Aqua”), Beauty (depends on your taste), and two women entwined tog… uh, I’ll be in my bunk.

Canach: Was a pretty hero Sylvari, then got all grim and dark looking, and acting, but still sort of a good guy. What with Grenth being sort of a better-than-the-alternative deity, he has the attitude, even if he doesn’t have much in the way of an ice motif yet.

Taimi: Not a lot to go on yet. Certainly, her illness could make her more compassionate to the suffering and give her an interest in studying healing magic, but who knows? But, and it may be a stretch, remember that the legs of Dwayna’s statues in GW1 were always broken and fragmented, and the statue was suspended by her magic (presumably, since the whole thing collapsed in the absence of divine favor). Asuran technomancy always seemed sort of air-themed, what with the crystals and sparks (that also being the theme of the Air dragon), and it’s that tech that keeps her mobile. Though if she upgraded Scruffy to fly or at least levitate, so much the better.

E as Kormir is basically just speculation, but E seems to know a lot about things that are pretty deep in the shadows. Secrets are just hidden Truth. Most likely human and male, or else capable of passing as such both vocally and when holding someone from behind with a knife at their throat. Would be the one gender flip, if male, but then again, Abaddon had the role before Kormir. And if we’re talking about secrets…

seems a bit of a reach. the gods were humans for a reason. the other races worship other ‘religions’ and deities if they have them.

A bit of clarification, they were not humans, but they are in humanoid form. I don’t know if that should be the proper term used in Tyria, since it’s not only humans who walk with two legs and use their hands for tools, and based on the history of Tyria, they were not the first as well. Maybe “two-legs” termed by the Centauri perhaps? haha So the “gods” are two-legs. As to what their true/original form is, if their form reflects the race they have chosen to bless, I do not know.
As a side note regarding humans, one theory that I have is that humans in Tyria were originally humans from a future planet Earth. It’s either humans had an exodus from planet Earth or there was an experiment with warp drive technology, only the spacecraft ended up in Tyria. Lost not just in space, but also lost in another dimension.

Sounds like Scarlet to me, also, if you’ve read Scarlet’s journal, you’ll have noticed her way of talking is different there. This also goes for the holograms that taunt you during the killer marionette, she doesn’t do crazy psycho Bubbles anymore like she did before.

I must have missed something. Where was it stated that Scarlet is someone we know?

Well I would vote for Ellen Kiel as the true villain.

Yeah. It’s a creative notion to be sure, but aside from all that I don’t think the Six Gods are…well, all that relevant anymore. I mean, our teams of multi-racial heroes have to go into the heart of Orr on a regular basis and cleanse their temples.

Plus, while it’s true that Rox is a ranger…a profession closely aligned with Melandru—so was Pyre Fierceshot. And we all know what he thought of the gods.

RE: Personal Nemesis -

Where did Anet say that this person was going to be someone we know? I honestly missed that part. All I remember them saying was that this nemesis was going to be introduced with this Living story (back before Flame and Frost really took off) and then after the Queen’s Jube, Scarlet takes direct notice of us, and i took that as she was the nemesis they spoke of for us.

Did I miss something else in there that changes any of that?

On the topic of “personal nemesis”:

What we were told was that we “would recognize our personal nemesis when we would see her, or him”. This does not mean that we saw the nemesis before, or that he/she was featured in Guild Wars 1, but simply that the character would immediately grab our attention in some way.

Scarlet sending us a boobytrapped present by mail, as revenge for foiling her interruption of the Queen’s Jubilee, qualifies as grabbing our attention.

I predict that lady Kasmeer holds the key to a new, more effective anti-toxin.

Your all wrong Scarlet is us!!!! WE ARE ALL SCARLET!!!!!!!!!!!

Lady Kasmeer’s secret——is

She is really Logan---but only on weekends.

(O_O)

I believe Kasmeer’s outcome is one out of this three (the first two may also lead to her death/demise):
1) Shown to be Scarlet, as OP said. Scarlet has been shown to USE us to make her toxin alot more powerful. Well guess who broke through the wall of illusion placed around the Tower of Nightmares? That’s right, our dear Kasmeer. And the fact she went directly to touch the giant pod may be how Scarlet got her more powerful sample. (Even though it could make sense, I do not think this is the case unless Scarlet was also retconned to be a powerful mesmer or inventor of a device that lets her alter reality – her and others’).
2) Her contact with the pod will come handy in dealing with the Toxin Scarlet is (presumably) going to launch at us and at creating a more-powerful antitoxin. (as DarcShriek said)
3) She might probably die of said contact with the pod, and die in a heartbreaking-epic last fight scene against Scarlet or Scarlet’s creations. However I don’t think this is the case: we would have at LEAST ONE hint of said illness by Kasmeer…she looks quite fine in the last patch.

I’m confused. I thought her “big secret” was revealed to be that she was actually dirt poor and her father died in Debtor’s Prison. That’s also why she uses illusions to hide her actual attire.

When did they state that she has another secret? I feel like I missed something. LOL

You didn’t. As the Living Story is winding down people are getting crazier and crazier with their theories. Just like how people are still thinking her pricking her finger in the Nightmare Tower was foreshadowing of some future impending doom.

There may be some deaths at the end of this Living Story who knows. I don’t think one will be Kasmeer suddenly falling over dead due to a finger prick.

It would be amazing if Trahearne showed up to pull off one of the greatest moves known to man with his Greatsword. Sheathing the Sword.

“There will come a time when you must achieve a goal at all costs. It may come in attack or in defense. And the only way will be to allow the sword to be sheathed in your own body. … when the price is worth the gain, and there is no other choice left to you. That is called Sheathing the Sword. Remember it.”

I remember dearly Dai’Shan.
