I Won Game of Thrones! *spoiler*
She needed the alliances to attack lions arch and activate the drill there. I assume the ocean in LA was the central point in cracking all the way to the jungle.
I assume he was sleeping under the pale tree itself and that’s why she tried so hard to stop scarlet in her visions story. Would also explain why it hasn’t come awake with the influence of the pale tree stopping him (Or being directly above the dragon, which may lead to the pale tree dying itself).
Who changed the title of this thread? It’s not about Dragons and Pale Trees.
ANet specifically said in the linked article that if we guess what happens we can say we won Game of Thrones. I did it, darn it, don’t change the title on me. >.>

But really, who didn’t? The Mordremoth connection to Sylvari was obvious long ago, and Scarlet’s obsession with it wasn’t very well hidden either. And while there will be those who say it was never directly spelled out for us before, there were vastly enough inferences to come to a correct conclusion far before this ‘reveal’.
What I am left wondering is, what happened to all the other plot? Who is E? Why did Scarlet need to create a series of alliances, and what was the meaning of pointing out their elemental association when in the end that had nothing to do with awakening the dragon? Why did Scarlet spend so much time (so many of our LW updates) developing all of these weapons of mass destruction and then fails to use anything but miniaturized versions of them to attack LA?
Anyways, while we’re still Winning the Game of Thrones, here’s a few more things for everyone to say isn’t true now but for us all to say was obvious later: Zhaitain isn’t dead, he’s getting more powerful. The Pale Trees are not under Mordremoth’s control as both were corrupted in unique ways, but one of them is under the control of a dragon already. The dragons aren’t friends and it will be fighting each other, but we can expect a wait of a good couple of years for that reveal.
Uh it wasn’t obvious ‘long ago’
Heck, we didn’t even know this would involve a Dragon until Marionette.
Trying to tell people ‘I told you so!" when the information was laid out for you in advance isn’t convincing.
It was strongly inferred. I knew there would be a dragon involved before Marionette. I’m sorry it had to be written in big bold letters for some people, but good storytelling involves being able to present information that the reader/viewer/listener can use to come to accurate conclusions without having to state everything outright. I got it. shrug
