Speculation on what the Queen has to say
Queen Jennah (to Logan): No, I am your father.
Logan: No. No. That’s not true. That’s impossible!
Queen Jennah: Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
Logan: Nooooo! Nooo!
Everyone convenes in the upper level of Divinity’s Reach, anxiously waiting to hear what the Queen will announce.
Once all the emissaries have gathered on the stage, Queen Jennah appears, greeted with applause.
“Friends of Tyria, as you all know, this ceremony has been held to celebrate the unity of our forces. With this theme in mind, I cannot think of anyone else who I would rather deliver this news than…Trahearne.”
The curtains part and the Firstborn steps forward into a sea of whispers.
“My friends, it is my pleasure to announce that we have finally rid Orr of the Risen and permanently put a stop to Zhaitan’s influence. With the help of Queen Jennah, we will begin rebuilding Orr into the great city that it once was. Additionally, we will use Asuran technology capable of recreating the battles that we have fought (for those who haven’t finished the PS). Let us never forget the feats that can be achieved when we work as one!”
^I want this. This would be cool. And it would make sense since the rebuilding of Orr would be a very human-centric concern. (And technically its not a new zone, so :P to that argument.)
I vote she has spoken with the tengu Emissaries from the Domain of Winds and is comming to an agreement for them to open their doors!!!!!!! I WANT MY TENGU CHARACTERS!!!!!! I mean really I can make 6 tengu easy -ranger Warrior(R.I.P. Talon) thief necro Guardian(Talon savior cantha palace mission) and well another ranger cause Tyria and cantha they were xD buy expansion and character slots.
I would be THRILLED if Tengu became playable as a result of this announcement, but I find it doubtful. If anything, the Tengu are more likely to announce this to Lion’s Arch or the Grove first, given their much closest proximity to those two states.
Jennah: Beloved people of Tyria. As you know I love you all. But please leave Deadeye Dunwell alone, he has suffered enough. Also, I am sorry about that giant zergtrain passing by underneath our very feet. It was a slight miscalculation that has pretty much decimated our economy. Whoopsy.

The Queen will finally admit the existence of Area 51
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/ufo/10247016/Area-51-does-exist-and-there-were-strange-goings-on-admit-CIA.html
The Queen will announce that she finally has found a pair of shoes that suit her royal feet.
“We are the Watchknights. Your biological, magical and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.”
If it’s suddenly interrupted by baddie NPCs like just about every other part of the Living Story, I will cry. I would really like to be surprised by the events of this update – it’s all getting far too formulaic.
Queen Jenna: I have gathered you all here today to address some of your concerns. Some of you think of me as a weak ruler, some a heartless tyrant. I assure you I’m neither of these things, but if you really insist; I’ll become the cruel tyrant. At least that way, I can finally get some things done around here. Those ministers can be very bothersome to one’s plans sometimes. We won’t need them anymore.
Queen Jenna: For those that might oppose my new style of leadership….
Queen Jenna shots mind-kitten lasers out of her eyes into the crowd.
-Reconstruction of Orr
-Tengu opening their gates
-the drafting of all the pavilion champions to combat the dragons, Aetherblades, or some other dire threat (possibly the “drakes” in the sewer)
-Opening of crystal desert
-Contact with Cantha
- the reason she built the pavilion instead of rebuilding the fine arts district
-the real reason for the great collapse
-official treaty with char
-Sereph joining the pact
-Marriage to Logan/ and or pregnant with Logan’s child.

Or all of the above.
And well looks like I can’t get drafted.
Chaos always finds a way, who you think Evil learned it from?
Queen Jennah: “I’M SPARTACUS!!!”
Who is “Scarlet”?
That’s what is grafittied on the Queen’s Speech page, lower and to the left.
Not sure if it’s been mentioned before in this post, but my guess is she’ll announce that the Trade Agreement has been finalized with the Zephyrites and a new shop will be opening in Lion’s Arch. Someone said the other day in LA map chat that there were workers making a new shop/building near the Captain’s Council (although I couldn’t find it when I looked), so I figured that’s what it may be. And with the new crafting mats Anet has been introducing to the game that have exclusive or unique places they’re found (like where can you get crystals if you missed the achievement and don’t have a node in your home instance, other than the TP, and watchwork pieces when the Pavilion is gone?), and crafting going up to level 500, this would seem to make sense.
Of course, AFTER she finishes the important sentence of the above announcement, all Full Grown Cat (no “kitten” here!) breaks loose, as the Aetherblades arrive with the Mysterious Stranger and complete their take-over of the Watchwork Knights and proceed to attempt to demolish everything and everyone in sight.
On a side note- Scarlet and the Aetherblades have invented the aerosol spray can!

Two claps for global warming advancing into the world of GWs
Queen Jennah: You’re all getting bees! BEES! Ahahahahaha!
Jennah opens her mouth and swarms of bees attack the audience. Then she falls apart into a pile of maggots that crawl across the stage, and transform into a hideous creature made of slime and vermin. And Logan runs away.

Queen Jennah: “I’M SPARTACUS!!!”
Having recently seen Roger Waters with his “The Wall” show, I vote for “I’M SPARTACUS!!!”.
It has to end with a big wall collapsing! So… it seems like we’re finally getting the Tengu. ^^
“We are the Watchknights. Your biological, magical and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.”
“ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!”
“Unfortunately, after putting millions of gold worth of destroyer lodestones, exotics, rares you’ve all been looting- not to mention, hundreds of millions spent on making a dangerdome full of watchknights you people have spent the last two weeks destroying… Divinity’s Reach is in debt, and will be sold to Gnashblade. Thank you for your time, and sorry that the renovated part of the city now stinks of the mound of corpses piled up beneath Liadri’s cage.”
Based on the posts i’ve read and from the info on the Living Story events, I bet that it’s Crystal Desert that’s going to be opened.
Well, Atlas … what happens if your char is a Mesmer as well?
Psychic fight.
Watch each other’s clones slap each other like five year olds.
It will be a blast.
Dear good people of Tyria!
As you all remember the outraging festivities of last year that ende up with sir Logan Thackeray farting at the dinner table, I have to make an announcement. It wasn’t Logan, it was me.
Have a good evening
Update 5.9.2013: getting better ANet, still way to go!
A Lannister always pays his debts – For everyone else, there’s Mastercard.
“Dear citizens… I am really… a broom.”
the queen, logan, rox and rythlock are on the stage.
-queen: now that the human-charr peace treaty is signed (people cheers) i’ll anounce that logan will be our new king (more cheering)
suddenly aetherblades, rox pierces the queen’s heart with an arrow, she was an aetherblade all along, the earth starts to tremble, molten alliance machines pop out from the floor, divinity’s reach becomes a huge battlefield and is ultimately destroyed, new human capital city is ebonhawke, divinity’s reach becomes a dungeon.
So many original, albeit highly improbable ideas here when the simple truth is that her speech will likely be nothing worthwhile. Nothing more than a simple plot device to get a bunch of story-important people in a single place so Scarlet, who is delivered as the big star of the next update, can do her little flaunt.
I do hope the speech lives up to her grand opening ceremony in her seemingly bathrobes for perhaps 10 tot 15 npc’s? I really felt like part of a great event there.
Queen Jennah: FINLAND!!
Hm… something to do with the Kodan and the Molten Alliance perhaps?
Not sure there’s a link, but in the ChinaJoy trailer and the Living Story trailer, one of the huge Kodan ships is under heavy artillery fire and I don’t recall seeing that in-game so far, so maybe the LS events will unfold in this direction…
Hopefully the “permanent” changes to GW2 isn’t taking away one or more Kodan ships; they’re part of the reason I return to Frostgorge Sound, oh and that Claw of Jormag event and now ofc that truly boring champ farming run…

South of frostgorge sound
South of FS? I need a little more to go on, did you refer to the ships taking artillery damage actually taking place in the game already?

Well since devs have said that no new zones or dragon fights before the end of the year, but they have announced new skills, reworked magic find, T7 crafting (including precursors). I’d guess that it’ll be one of the things that still isn’t out yet.
I have a feeling she’ll announce some old lore that was found (either remnants of the human gods or more likely research into the dragons and their energy) that will provide new skills to all professions. Then Scarlet and the Aetherblades break in and steal the new lore/skills and run off around the world. Thus we have a “scavenger hunt” to unlock new skills (which we acquire and then buy with skill points as normal).
One could only hope. My main’s walkin around with over 100 SP, which is only getting used to craft superior siege, atm.
Other 80s: Any but Warrior
This is my prediction:
The queen appears on her balcony ready to give her speech, looking regal as usual, and then she speaks, her voice amplified by her mesmer magic to make sure everyone hears her properly…
“Greetings my people and allies, friends from close and far away, representatives from all races. In these times of great troubles and difficulties, it’s great that we can all be together as one, so it saddens me that I’m going to have to ask of all of you… to pay tree fiddy”
And it is about this time we all notice that this queen girl is about 8 stories tall and is a crustacean karka from the protozoic era! (Logan being the most surprised of all!!!)
(NOTE: joke shamelessly ripped off reddit)..
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.
A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.
My Predictions:
1. I’m not really Queen Jennah. I’m Queen JennoooOOOooo!
2. I will officially announce the Peace treaty with the charr. As long as Logan doesn’t run away from Rytlock; crying back to his mommy.
3. “Good citizens of Kryta. As you are all aware our city has become bankrupted with our heroes farming the pavilion of our champions and materials. I would also like to apologise on the rotting smell under Liadri’s cage as we fired our janitor due to spending cuts. That is all”
4. “Were off to sea of sorrows, the wonderful place of karkas!”
5. “I vote for more jumping Puzzles but the Emperor said there was just no way”
Maya Atula – Mesmer
Jennah: Beloved people of Kryta. I’m glad you are all having so much fun. There is no way this celebration could possibly go wrong in any way. I have decided that tomorrow I will retire, and marry my one true love.
(Looks at Logan)
Jennah: Countess Anise! …Also, I would like to thank my royal guards, both of whom are one day from retirement. And let me repeat, there is no way this celebration could possibly go wrong. What could possibly happen?

Is there any information if is an instanced zone or non intanced zone event like the player arrive the Crown Pavilion?

Meh… cinematic with npc’s talking, and if scarlets appear will be another protect the Queen as we had on story against the corrupted soldier, playing an mmo w/o being an mmo…

This is what I am hoping for: A cinematic showing the Queen being killed in the middle of her speech. Logan is desperate, but Anise tells us that wasn’t the real Queen, calming him down. Along with Logan and Anise, we go to a new 5-men dungeon where we are trying to get to her before the Aetherblades. When we finally find her, she is fighting Scarlet (the Queen is a powerful mesmer, so she would be able to keep herself alive for quite a long time). We then help the Queen defeating Scarlet.

What a Twist. Again.
It’s not a story twist, if you use it every time. Let’s grind the new stuff. Next event and next “shocking” twist are coming soon.
Humans: “Speech, Queen Jennah! Speech!”
Logan: “Speech!”
Jennah: “My dear Thackerays and Anises, Brahams and Roxes, Trahearnes, and Caudecas’s.” [cheers]
Caudecus: “Caudecus!”
[Humans laugh. Jennah waves dismissively.]
Jennah: “Today is my tenth jubilee!”
Humans: “Happy jubilee!”
Human: “Alas, ten years is far too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable humans.” [cheers abound.] “I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.”
[There is a dead silence from the crowd. They gaze at each other blank-faced, trying to figure out if they were just insulted. Trahearne smiles.]
Jennah: “I, uh, I h-have things to do.” [fidgets with the Ring behind her back. Whispers to herself] “I’ve put this off for far too long.”
Jennah: [to the crowd] “I regret to announce — this is The End. I am going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell.” [whispers to Logan] “Goodbye.”
[Jennah puts the Ring on and vanishes.]
