After the recent living story, it was revealed that Ellen Kiel is the only one on the Captain’s Council that believes that Scarlet is coming to attack Lion’s Arch.

I made a short (non-canon) comic about the council’s meeting that took place for this (attached below). It’s supposed to be funny; please commence laughing. :>

Edit: Part 2 is now uploaded and ready to be read! :>

Edit: Part 3 is now available! c:

I am somehow reminded of Mass Effect and trying to convince the Council about the Reapers over and over.

Ah yes, “Scarlet” we have dismissed that claim.

She did everything. Probably she was the leader of the Prothean “Cerberus” that sabotaged the building of the Crucible in their cycle.

Scarlet’s Alliance Wars (a.k.a. “Guild Wars 2”)
A fantasy of sci-fi cyborg implants grafted into the desiccated flesh of Guild Wars’ corpse.

Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

Just an FYI for you OP, Evon Gnashblade is the one who warned Ellen Kiel about the attacks. Had it not been for the Hero of Lion’s Arch, Kiel wouldn’t know the difference between up and down.

When LA lies in ruins and the Lionguard asks for help we should totally pull a mass effect 3 on them.

The cruel and unfortunate truth is that while Scarlet is focussing on Lions Arch, we can prepare and regroup

Hilarious. Especially Riot Inducer’s post.

Makes me wonder if they treat the Elder Dragons the same…

Probably. After all, Zhaitan was just a large lizzard, not a dragon at all. If you know what I mean.

Technically, you can blame the council, but blame goes on ellen too. According to a recent interview, if evon was elected, the army wouldve been strengthened, but kiel insisted the LA could handle another attack with current forces. And as indicated from the queen’s jubilee, scarlet loves to smack people down from their high horse.

We need more charr leaders.

Ellen Kiel was the only one of the council that even believed the attack was coming and was the only one that prepared for it. Evon Gnashblade knew it was coming, too; unfortunately, he isn’t on the council.

Yeah, it really doesn’t make sense how stupid the council is. I mean… all 3 of the major orders were working on investigating/stopping Scarlet – and they even found overwhelming evidence of Scarlet planning to invade LA… I just don’t see how they couldn’t believe Kiel.
