Possibility of bring the story together?
Interesting thoughts. If this is true, we’re about to see those areas near the Brisban Wildlands open up.
PvE Main – Zar Poisonclaw – Daredevil
WvW Main – Ghost Mistcaller – Herald
Well… if the Living World story was eventually going to lead up to an Elder Dragon being introduced or new areas being introduced it was going to go one of a few ways:
- Kralkatorrik and the Crystal Desert
- Jormag and the Far Northern Shiverpeaks
- Primordus and the Tyrian Depths
- Bubbles and the Unending Ocean
- Mordremoth and the Magumma Jungle
So far, it seems that a lot of the Living World lately has revolved around Magumma and the possible connections there to the Elder Dragon Mordremoth.
Yeah, Mordremoth is obvious. But I still pray for Kralkatorrik because that’s ELONA you know. Elona, Desolation and Palawa Joko.
Mordremoth, yes. Scarlet, no. She is definitely not taken into his Nightmare.
Even if they do ‘tie it together’ you’ll always know in the back of your mind that the ‘living story’ was just a random assortment of non threatening ideas on pieces of paper that were sticky taped together and handed in 6 months late to its teacher who instantly marks it with an F.
I strongly hope that if we ever get to northern regions of Tyria and Isles of Janthir, besides dragon, we’ll meet Mursaats

Well, we do know that the elder dragons can corrupt people to do their will, sylvari have been inmune to Zaithan’s corruption but one theory is that it’s because they’re already linked to Modremoth.
Also, being corrupted by the elder dragons gain part of their powers (sons of svanir can do ice attacks, branded do crystal based attacks and so on), in the “What scarlet saw” short story (SPOILERS AHEAD) after Scarlet leaves Omadd’s chamber (where she suposedly “saw” everything) she gained the ability to grow and control red thorny vines, which she used to kill Omadd, so maybe that is where Anet is going with the living story, turning out that Scarlet is acting as an avatar of Modremoth.
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.
A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.

Just a little notion – Norn have no army, (which is just a small notion, not changing or demeaning your idea whatsoever) they live a semi-nomadic life without governments, armies and so on. Your thinking makes sense, I hope the in game reality of it will make as well.

This. And the F is well deserved.
It is more likely to just be more random content that in no way links up with anything else that has occurred like Scarlet. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. They really need to bring in a professional fantasy writer to help them flesh out their storytelling.
No new maps this year.
Flame and Frost has nothing to do with Maguuma.
Most of the story revolved around Kryta and not Maguuma (Southsun is Kryta, Queen’s Jubilee is Kryta, Halloween is Kryta/Ascalon, Sky Pirates is Kryta, Cutthroat Politics is Kryta, the people the Zephyrites were trading with is Kryta, Tower of Nightmares if Kryta, Dragonbash is Kryta).
Scott said that Scarlet thinks the Dragons might be the only thing that can stop her, but I honestly doubt she has anything to do with any of them. She’s a filler story.
/Pessimism on
They have built up some nice settings for the Krait and their tower, and i hope its non related to Scarlet since shes such a booring character that they have been dragging out for way too long.
Kraits are vicious and would never ally with anyone, otherwise Anet will have to do a retcon that i dont think ppl will appriciate.
And i doubt this have anything to do with a new dragon, Anet dropped the ball on that one (whole rampup to the game was about the elder dragons, ends up with fail Zhaitan encounter and then total silence).
