In my opinion, the Tower of Nightmares has given us more story than any other update. From talking to NPC’s and picking up on ambient conversation you can learn a lot!

  • There is an NPC who gives general information in case you missed past storylines or don’t pay attention.
  • The Nightmare Court uses noble titles to indicate rank and territory. It is likely the Sylvari of the Toxic Alliance are a small, independent offshoot of the Nightmare Court.
  • The Krait way of life was invented by their ancient prophets. They believe one day their prophets will return and make them powerful again. They believe the obelisks are the key to the prophets return, and it is likely Scarlett gave them Obelisk shards in return for their cooperation.
  • Obelisks are made from a similar substance as Bloodstones. Bloodstones were used by an ancient race to store magic more then a millennia ago.
  • There are a Skritt and Quaggan in camp with dialogue as well. It is nice to see the lesser races present, since we bonded with them during our personal story.

On top of this, we get a nice opening instance with some fun dialogue and an interesting cutscene. Nice job ArenaNet!

This game is not about out-DPSing you. It’s about out-flashing you.
