I made a quick video in case some people want a head start on the lore instead of farming for a couple of hours.

The only thing I’ve got is possibly she’ll drill down to meet a Dragon.
Maybe that was what kept messing with her head?
It wasn’t very clear, though I do like her holoscreen set up.

Elona, Land of the Golden Sun….and undead…and poison. The travel brochure lied okay?!

The thumper things to locate it or nessessary arcane power perhaps, and digging drill to dig it up or tap into a power source to do same, but seems some influence by a dragon or similar entity to get her to revive it. Awful reading though.

My theory is she’s tapping into the magical leylines to gather magical power to attract a dragon and get rid of its constant whispering in her head. My guess plant dragon, we’ll head to Meguuma wastes to confront it. Why Meguuma wastes? there have been bandits in Brisband working on a bridge leading there for a while now.

But in her journal she says she’s comfortable with it. So, it doesn’t seem like the purpose is to destroy it. Rather, it seems to have complete control over her, and she’s fine with it.

The story goes – Scarlet becomes our ally because she’s secretly trying to save the world by controlling it. We’ll end up saving her butt from a Dragon, and she’ll thank us by promising not to invade Tyria anymore.

In GW2, Trading Post plays you!

So the video (is the voicing in-game or the uploader reading it? Nice voice either way) explains what the thing up above the marionette is – it’s an incomplete giant flying drill. You can recognize the top half of the drill diagram at the end of the video as being the thing above the Marionette. The spinning blades and the like.

The maps seems to point out where the Energy Probes are. The black dots match up to the fan-made map of their location at least. But I noticed some X’s and arrows to… Now that’s interesting. The X’s are placed over Vigil Keep, Durmand Priory, Chantry of Secrets, and Lion’s Arch (Fort Marriner I think – Lionguard HQ), the arrows pointing into that general field.

The only thing in the journal that really strikes me (as I had already known something was entering Scarlet’s mind via the new Pale Tree dialogue that was added this update) is the mention of “images of death, destruction, and destiny.” This would hint to what the possessor wants. Which interesting matches up with what Zhaitan’s goal was (as stated through his minions, particularly in Sea of Sorrows – eternal reign (destiny) through undeath (death must come first)), as well as what’s believed Primordus’ goal is (all his minions do is kill the living – aka ultimate genocide); we don’t really have any indication on Mordremoth’s unique persona and take on the whole “consume the world” agenda (each dragon seems to want the same outcome of consuming the world’s inhabitants, but in different flavors/methods).

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