Guild Wars 2

I have been doing the emissary escorts to get my balloons, and some of them have the steam creatures popping out of portals instead of aetherblade pirates coming from the sky. This is not just in the shiverpeaks, its happened in Sparkfly Fen and Iron Marches as well. Arent they contained on the frozen lake?

Steam creatures come from an alternate reality’s future through portals. So it just means the aetherblades are somehow connected. Maybe they have discovered a way to summon them, maybe they come from the same future.

The steam creatures are basically golems created to be a personal army.

Yes, I know the lore behind steam creatures. Theres an alternate reality where your asura toon has became ruler of Tyria and creates the steam creatures. But how are they connected?

Would be no fun if they revealed everything in Flame and Frost.

Your future self ends up talking about a great battle, the great battle of Divinity’s Reach. On top of that the NPC that was with your future self had the title of Vice Admiral so who knows my be part of the Aetherblades and we get to take place in this great battle in the next few updates.

The mysterious stranger (the asura PC) was the grand high sovereign. So the asura PC was the ruler of the world, and Shodd was the commander of his armies. It’s not necessarily aetherblades, but just of the navy. Considering Tyria had been conquered, and the ground forces are a mechanical army, there just probably isnt a need for an military force on the ground. So instead of promoting Shodd to a useless position. Shodd is actually in a position of power.

Although now thinking about it, wasnt the sylvari in the instance also called mysterious stranger?

Kneel before Shodd?

Has it ever occured to anyone that the maniac that comes through the portal trying to kill you while claiming to be the grand high poobah of the universe and creator of the steam creatures, may in fact be lying?

He/she could be lying but the way it is now it sort of seems like the personal ifinity ball story is linked to the living story we have now. During the personal story your first encounter with the steam creatures is while investigating the possibilities of the infinity ball, which later on leads to this alternate future of yourself showing up.

Just leaving this here.
