Guild Wars 2

Sooo.. Giant Krait tower stant right to the flying castle, throwing spores and stuff, and what? Wizard still don’t care? Or Toxic alliance is actually pre-event for finally reveal of wizard tower secret? That would be great and awesome.

What do you think?

It would be a terrible set-up and a great disservice to the mystery of Isgarren and the GW lore as a whole, that’s what I think.

Though not to such… extremes as what NinjaChris said, my mentality is on that line.

Isgarren and the whole of Garrenhoff are rather isolated – and isolationist. They’re kept safe by their own means and even the toxic spores hold no true threat to them as we can see. Isgarren doesn’t care that the elementals he gives are used for menial labor nor does he care that the Arcane Eye sets up shop in “his town” (it’s not really his mind you, he just gives protection to it for some unknown reason). They don’t care about the centaur war because “they’re safe from it” – same with the krait, ettins, and other threats that’s been around since GW2’s release. So why should they care about the Toxic Alliance?

Them suddenly caring about something that’s no more a threat that a strong continuous gust of wind can prevent (and given the amount of elementals, I’m sure he can whip up a few air elementals to do just that) feels like it’d hurt the lore around Garrenhoff.

Because they don’t bombard you with poisonous spores from above?

Centaurs can make trebuchets to rain down fiery rubble on the town, but he doesn’t seem all that concerned with them either. What’s a few poisonous spores, when there are air and fire elementals around?

It’s kinda funny that you guys making him out to be this passive stoner wizard who just doesn’t give a kitten about anything.

Since we have little to no information on the guy, we can only guess at this point, but I was thinking of him having more casual arrogance.

“Why should I care about things that are beneath me?”

I would think that any wizard with a floating tower/castle, and a horde of bound elementals, would think something similar.

I was thinking along the same lines of Erukk. Rather than some “passive stoner” I view him as more of a guy who just doesn’t want to deal with the triffles of the outside world. A shut in, if you will.

Though Erukk’s view is not unlikely either.

Maybe Isgarren doesn’t care about what happens outside his little town (have the toxic kraitt attacked it at all?… haven’t been there since patch)…

Or maybe he is helping in his own way but does it from the background. Kasmeer mentions how it was really luck that she found the perfect spell to dispell the tower’s illusion… maybe the wizard planted the sugestion in her mind.

Or maybe the wizard has died already and before he did he moved his castle closer to the town and left the castle running on automatic to keep the elementals helping the people.

Or maybe he just likes to color green….

Or maybe Scarlet is really the wizard in disguise and we’ll eventually get a scooby doo style unmasking…

My money is on the last one..

So this would be something really dumb and insulting to the lore ? Think it might happen in a few hours !
