…was like reading Hitler’s Mein Kampf.

She knew we were going to read it…she knew before we even knew about it. That’s why she wrote what she wrote. She was not a good person and was not trying to save Tyria.

The cake is a lie.

Are you Shpongled?

when she went into the eternal alchemy, the pale tree met her and told her she was gunna see things she shouldnt see, things she cant control or comprehend etc. etc. Scarlet said she doesnt believe that the sylvari or her in particular have a destiny all laid out for them because “the pale tree said so” etc. and so she then sees the pale three get engulfed and tangled by a ton of vines, and the pale tree is destroyed. she then looks into the abyss and “something” is finds her, and it cals out to her. She then finds the real purpose and meaning of all of the crap she has been wondering about.

Then she awakes from being in the eternal alchemy, and kills her mentor Omadd.

then she does all the crap we already know, she goes and does the alliances and messes wwith the jubilee and all that stuff.

Now in this update, in her journal, she reveals that she keeps having nightmares, and the thing in the abyss from the eternal alchemy keeps calling out to her. eventually she admits to be accepting of its embrace, and slowly losing control over herself and her thoughts, and she likes it. then in the journal she says that she wishes to find/become one with/free/release/meet the thing in the abyss that is calling out to her.

Then after inputting Omadd into her console, a map comes up, it has arrows that outline the movement of troops into lions arch from all directions, as well as another map that has Xs on lions arch, and all the headquarters of the orders, (vigil, whispers etc/)

then it flashes a schematic of the giant hovring thing that holds the marrionette up, except instead of holding a marrionette, it holds a giant DRILL.

Evon gnashblade also has dialogue where he says lions arch is on scarlets list to attack soon.

In her lair, there is a mosaic of a dragon painted on the cieling, its hard to tell if its a planty looking dragon, a deathly looking dragon, or a firey looking dragon.

In her journal scarlet says the thing in the abyss of the eternal alchemy shows her images of death and destruction and despair etc. etc. (makes me think it couldn’t be the elder dragon of life, Mordremoth; if you ask me)

Anet said that after all of this is over, tyria will never be the same, and they showed a video of destroyed asura gates in Lions arch in a previous trailer as well.

Thus: from all this evidence, i would say that she is gunna attack and destroy all of the orders HQs, ending them, killing their leaders, while simultaneously invading lions arch and drilling a giant hole down to the dragon that keeps calling out to her. freeing it. Since she destroyed the HQs of the orders, there’s no one to really combat this new dragon master of hers that she just freed. as well as the asura gate hub in lions arch will be destroyed so any reinforcements to stop her wouldn’t be able to get there, and travel between the racial cities would be stalled for a while which gives scarlet time to do, well whatever she is gonna do next, that is if she doesn’t die somehow, which i think she will die, probably killed instantly by the dragon, having only used her as a pawn, or perhaps corrupted into a evil disgusting monstrosity from the dragons minion, and we’ll have to kill it to get revenge since the dragon will already be free, and LA would be ruins, and the orders will have been dismantled so why the heck not.

The way tyria will be changed forever by this is that Lions arch, will be gone forever, and travel between the cities will no longer by via lions arch, also all of the orders that fought against the dragons, that defeated zhaitan, will have been ended as well.

The logical sense for the developers to get rid of the orders is so that the living story can mesh better with the personal story. Early in the living story, everyone was a little upset that all the decisions they made in the personal story, especially their order and etc. stuff didnt really matter or even get mentioned in the living story.
Obviously it would be labor-intensive for Anet to make dialogue for every option possible having been done in the personal story to be shown or mentioned in the living story as well, so theyre gunna just get rid of them, so there is a reason to never mention it.
Also this is why we are seeing a grouping of new characters as well, instead of destinies edge. Destinies edge knows us from personal story and the stuff we did with our racial hero, its weird to tlak to them and for them to not realy know us anymore even though we fought together, so theyre being replaced too, well not entirely replaced since Anet said this new crew is not destinies edge 2.0, but pretty much its their mechanism to get rid of the original destinies edge. This also allows them more freedom for who will be involved in the offense against the dragons and foes to come in the future of the living story.
The logical sense to get rid of lions arch would be to sattiate the population sinks in the cities, everyone hangs out in lions arch so getting rid of it would spread people at least mostly to divinities reach (lets be real). Theyll prolly think of some other mechanism to further spread players out from DA into the other cities as well. This gives new players the impression that the low populations they experience in level up zones is not server-wide, when they see the many people hanging out in the cities they have to go to for their personal story missions.

Anyway, this is my speculation, but i am pretty confident behind it given the evidence i have examined and the logic i see behind some of the actions that would be taken.
If new evidence comes that contradicts any of this, then i cant wait to re-evaluate.

P.S. Arenanet, if my speculation is correct, do not reply to me.
